The Grand European cruise has been a long-time dream and now that it is done a new world of dream cruises are on the horizon. The flights kept changing and worked out for the best as we were able to experience differing airlines and their services. The Ve is awesome. our cabin was a little smaller than an ocean-going ship but very adequate for the amount of time spent in it which is actually ...

We love unpacking once, leisurely traveling the rivers and canals, and all the stops with included (and optional) excursions. Our pre-trip in beautiful Budapest was a walker’s delight with so much to see. Our Viking host was so helpful from answering questions and arranging tours to making dinner reservations. Embarkation was a breeze with Viking handling our luggage and the ship’s staff ...

We chose this cruise due to the price, free airfare and the itinerary. We also did pre and post hotels and were impressed by the service and accommodations. The service was impeccable, the food, especially the soups, were delectable. Every meal had options that even the pickiest of eaters could find something to satisfy their palate. I had more than enough choices and the service was amazing. ...

We received first-class service throughout the cruise. The service from the waiters, cleaning staff, and cruise director were exceptional. The executive chef and head of guest services were very visible and welcoming. All our guides were exciting and informative. Due to low water, we changed ships once and the transfer went very smoothly. We stayed in a room on the lower deck and we were ...

We chose this cruise for two reasons, we wanted to visit these countries and Viking was the only way to go. The Ve was perfect in every way : comfort, personnel, amenities. Our fellow travelers were curious as we were about the destinations and a pleasure to be with. Even with half capacity Viking provided us with a complete excursion experience. The guides were knowledgeable,easy to understand ...

First ... a shout out to our wonderful “included” tour guides. We especially enjoyed Sylvia Seifert whose extended tour in Regensburg (including Jewish history and the Stumbling Stones Project) was spectacular. Another terrific guide -whom we were with today in Cologne- was Ralph (sorry no last name). His knowledge of history was extensive. In a very brief period we learned so very much. Finally ...

This is only the second cruise ever for my wife and me - our first was a brief ocean cruise from Florida to Bahamas on another major line, and we were not overly impressed. For years, though, we always wanted to try a river cruise, and after years on Viking's mailing list, we decided to take the plunge. We are so glad we did - we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We took the Grand European Tour, ...

We chose this trip because of the itinerary, our German heritage and the size of the ship. We liked the smaller amount of passengers allowing us to get to know people over the course of the cruise. We loved the included tours as well as the optional choices. Our cabin was spacious and very comfortable. Dining options were wonderful and the crew was superb. The menu was varied depending on the ...

We lucked out - fantastic weather (only rained on once for about 10 mins), we had no water level issues, and although we had to swap ships half way through, due to a broken lock, Viking handled the entire swap seamlessly. We have had great experiences on on several ocean cruises (not Viking) before this Grand European river cruise with Viking - OMG this is a whole different world. I can't ...
