First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

Everything related to Viking and the ship exceeded all expectations and was excellent. We were very underwhelmed with the guided excursions we signed up and paid for pre trip. “Moderate” walking on those we found is up to 4 miles or more while trying to follow the guide in crowded streets and really not being able to see anything being talked about. If we ever do it again we will not sign ...

Always wanted to see Vienna, and this cruise allowed that. It also took place during my 75th birthday month, so who could resist? I have little to complain about, and almost nothing to share but praise! My best friend and I made a small mistake: we spent 10 days in Paris before flying to Budapest to get on the Viking Tor. Result: we were already tired when we got there! The Tor allowed us ...

One time unpacking- smaller groups to get to make friends with-and staff that knows you right away! A delightful way to cruise the Danube and see highlights of Europe! Fantastic!! When choosing a river cruise, we expected the best, and got it with Viking Tor. Our Program Manager kept everyone happy and off to our adventures. Our chef and staff made delicious local and also American foods, ...

We have sailed with Viking before, and they again did not disappoint. It is a great package for the money. The tours are always very good and sized small enough to make you feel like it is a private tour. The tour guides are locals who can really bring the town alive. The new audio guides are a major improvement. While the cabins are small, we did not mind as it met all the needs. The beds ...

This was our first cruise. I wanted a small number of people and gentle water. Viking provided many choices for our meals. Everything we ate was well prepared and served as if we were dining in a white table restaurant with friends. No stuffy atmosphere. Our room and veranda provided just the right space with ample storage for our clothing. Housekeeping came through twice a day to freshen our ...

Written as a first time Viking Cruiser. The beginning of the cruise went accordingly. The ship is clean and staff is always ready to assist. We did encounter high waters which changed the locations of departures and arrivals of excursions some which was totally understandable. However, on May 11, 2023 we were taken into Regensburg and upon our return another Viking ship was docked and the Tor ...

We heard great things about Viking and were excited to take the 7 Night Romantic Danube cruise. The cruise and excursions were great until the day before we were to disembark and our last night on the river boat. The boat was unable to dock in Regensburg due to high waters. On our last day of excursions, we were bused into Regensburg for the walking tour and the Weltenburg Abbey & the Danube ...

Viking is obviously well reviewed. And deservedly so. Great service and amazing staff. The shore excursions are very good. Guides excellent. They have to serve 200 people on the boat, and do a very good job of this, overall. Are dinners five star, such as you might find it a fine dining restaurant? Close, but no. It is very good however. Menu selections vary, but plenty of options. Breakfast & ...

This was our 1st River cruise and it was everything we expected! It was the trip of a lifetime. We chose to let Viking book our air and we were pleased with how that was taken care of. We also opted for a pre cruise stay in Budapest which helped us adjust to the time zone and provided us an opportunity to explore on our own. Budapest was a lovely and easy to navigate city. The Viking staff at ...

We selected the Romantic Danube cruise as the first river cruise because of the destinations. Also we booked with the anniversary discount of free air and the Silver Spirits package. The weather was perfect, we even had a couple of days in the 70's. We were thankful the river levels were up enough that we did not need to do any ship swapping or long trips on a bus. All the included ...
