We chose Viking for their reputation, first. When they announced "free airfare" and $25 deposit, it was too good to pass up. At 60yrs. old, we were afraid we would be the youngest ones on the ship. That was far from the truth. We met really fun passengers older and younger than us. Viking took care of everything. We did as much or as little as we wanted, when it came time to tour or being ...

Had a great time. We Especially liked ports of smaller towns and those where we were able to easily visit in the evening. The food was excellent!! Good job George. So much better than Viking Herja the following cruise (5/28)! Richard, the cruise director, was excellent! Every excursion was very well organized. Richard was nearby for each making sure all was going well. Richard and George also ...

We chose this tour because the itinerary appealed to us. The entire cruise far exceeded our expectations. We give superlative reviews to the accommodations, the food and the excursions. Viking’s attention to the fine details is to be commended. We felt quite pampered during the entire trip. The cost of the tour may be more than the average cruise, but then, this was definitely not your average ...

This was the virgin voyage for the Lofn after the 2020 pandemic lockdown. The crew had to quarantine prior to our departure for 14 days. Getting into Hungary for our departure was touch and go (because of Covid), but Viking came through with necessary documents that allowed us to enter. I shouldn’t have worried… Breezing through customs with the Viking provided paperwork was easy-peasy and it ...

We have sailed with Viking previously, 2 ocean. We always wanted to do a river cruise. We were the 1st back for this particular itinerary. To say it was outstanding is an understatement. As always, service couldn't have been better, all precautions for health were taken, & then some.The ship has a sun deck equipped with tables and both sit up and lounge chairs. It also had a shuffleboard court and ...

We enjoyed our cruise on the Viking Longships---two actually because of low water problems in the river systems during our October sailing. We were suppose to start and finish on the Lofn but actually only finished on it. However, Viking handled the required ship change as smoothly as anyone could have dreamed. Except for having to pack and unpack a little more than desired and to have had a few ...

Simply stated, this cruise was fabulous. We lived 3 years and Europe and are experienced European travelers, and this may have been one of the best trips ever! We began with misgivings. An email several days before stated that we might have to change ships mid-cruise due to low water on the Danube, and that the cruise might begin in Komarom, HU, with a bus into Budapest for a tour. Both ...

Cruise on Viking; Low Water, No Problem

Our 14 night cruise on two Viking Longships, the Vidar and the Lofn, was really nice. Despite the very low river levels that required us to first board a ship, the Vidar, that we hadn't booked and doing that 40 miles or more from Budapest and then having to be bussed half way through the cruise to pick up our originally scheduled ship, the Lofn, we still had a great time. Viking handled the ...

My mother in law chose this cruise, to take the whole family. We were concerned at first because of her age (mid 80s), but the crew took excellent care of us and especially of her. There were many ways the crew assisted her or made accommodation so that she could participate in outings. I personally enjoyed the many choices available at each stop, and also the choice to simply sit on deck and ...

We spent several days in beautiful Prague, Czech Republic, prior to boarding our river cruise in Budapest, Hungary and then spent the next 15 days with the Viking Lofn crew and guests. What a spectacular time we had. The boat was new, comfortable, easy to navigate and a great home away from home. We've visited southern Europe several times in the past, and this cruise introduced us to The Czech ...
