First time in a river cruise and the experience was awesome inside and outside of the ship. Places and tours were amazing and full of history … the tour guides were completely knowledgeable about everything and made the experience very interesting. Plenty of food and beverages in the ship, never got thirsty or hungry. All the food from the 4 countries were delicious (Hungary, Austria, ...

I had the opportunity to take a Rhine/Main/Danube Viking River Cruise in August 2023 on the Viking Magni (Originally scheduled for Baldur). As you continue to read through the review keep in mind Europe was experiencing some of the hottest temperatures for the summer of 2023. Early in the trip the sliding glass door to our balcony locked behind us. Fortunately, our neighbor was still in their ...

I just took my first cruise ever. I chose Viking based on reviews and advertising about the extremely high level/quality of service. I unfortunately did not experience that on my trip. Many things occurred including with service during meals and servicing of my cabin, but the two biggest were that I was injured during dinner when the boat hit the side of the river/canal with the force of an ...

This cruise had been postponed since 2020 and it was worth waiting for. The Grand European Tour took my wife and I from Budapest to Amsterdam and along the way we saw many beautiful towns, cities and castles galore. We also made some very nice new friends--a result of "no-fixed seating" in the dining room--whom we have kept in touch with and will be visiting in the near future. The food on ...

My husband and I are 70-ish and in pretty good health, although I do have some mobility issues (I use a rolling walker for longer distances). We felt this cruise would be a good way to see a nice selection of European cities in relative comfort. Our travel to our point of embarkation was NOT well arranged. Our wishes were not honored and our itinerary was, in consequence, ridiculously long, ...

Lots of fun. The service worked very well for us. Not too formal. I liked that the food portions were kept small (we still eat way too much). The standard wine offerings were always excellent. The layout of the restaurant with larger table helped everyone to meet new people. We mainly kept to the reginal food offerings which were all great. The wait staff were all friendly and helpful. ...

We really enjoyed this trip. It was our first river cruise. The Christmas markets in the ports were wonderful. The food on the ship was excellent. Especially loved the soups at lunch and dinner. The included wines with dinner were very good. We did the included tours and a few extras. Most ports had plenty of free time to explore on our own some too. Really glad we did 2 extra ...

Really enjoyed this cruise. It was our first river cruise. I was worried about having only one dining option, but the food was excellent. We especially enjoyed the soups at lunch and dinner. One night was a German buffet. Desserts were excellent also. The wine and beer included with the price were very good. The included tours were very good. In most locations left plenty of time to ...

I just came back from a 15-day Budapest to Amsterdam last week. At best the food quality is very average may be substandard in most days. We had only two good meals, Chateaubriand and Rack of lamb. Especially the regional food menus nightly were horrible. The Wiener schnitzel was like the bark of an old tree and the German Roast Pork with Crispy Skin was like a tree trunk, dry and chewy! We ...
