Not what we expected

First. I think Viking is the best river cruise company around. Second. If we had done the Romantic Danube first and the Rhine Getaway second I think my review would be different. But the Rhine Getaway was so fabulous and magical that it is hard to compare. Our trip was also during an unusual low tide with ongoing airline travel issues - both problematic. That said - here are the highs and ...

First river cruise and we were looking forward to visiting Budapest and Vienna. We felt that the brochure misrepresented the schedule of the sailing. We boarded in Budapest on the afternoon of the first day of the trip. Despite lack of specific information on which dock the ship would be, we found it easily. There were several crew members available to help carry our luggage down the several ...

Our wives decided on it. It was the summer of 2022. We cruised with pre trip in Budapest and post in Prague. Overall the trip was excellent. Only one extra excursion was disappointing.

COVID was in a surge as we departed Budapest on the ...

We just returned from a “Romantic Danube” river cruise, which not only did not meet our expectations, but left us feeling miss-led. I say that because we were communicating with friends taking similar Viking itineraries weeks before our travel who made us aware of the nightmares they were experiencing. Nightmares as defined by numerous bus trips and lack of cruising time and being on board of ...

Ship was great, though wi-fi in stateroom was poor. Food was excellent. Most shore excursions were good. Felt ripped off by day trip to Salzburg: Paid extra, then due to river traffic delays (locks), we arrived to port an hour late, then hit traffic due to highway construction. We detoured through a city which took even longer. Then we stopped at a roadside oasis for a bio break even though ...
