Budapest to Europe - River Cruise Viking Vili Reviews

We loved this cruise. I loved the beautiful cities we toured and the tour guides were exceptional. The ship is luxurious and the crew were warm, helpful and good at what they did. Our hostess Sue, was amazing. She handled every situation calmly and professionally. She was fun to listen to as she shared our schedules for the next day. So very helpful. Our room was small but very efficient. The bed ...

One of the thing that made us decide to be on this cruise (Grand European Tour - Budapest to Amsterdam), was the expansive coverage of ports that it will go through. This was really quite a full taste of Europe. The views from Danube, to Main river, to the Rhine are very scenic, picturesque, and it made us feel like we're in a fairy tale crossing all this amazing architecture and castles. To ...

Treated like royalty on board ship. Professional and attentive staff, enjoyable evening entertainment, adequate time in ports to learn about cities. Guides for excursions, whether included or extra, were knowledgeable and friendly. Ship kept very clean, stateroom was comfortable and attended by steward who was both friendly and accommodating. Food was plentiful and delicious. Entertainment ...

Viking is an amazing River cruise company. They take care of you every step of the journey. From getting the flights, notifying you of any and all changes. They pick you up from the airport and provide the transportation each day. They have an included tour each day and also have other excursions available for a fee. The food is delicious and they offer different options for each meal. There are ...

I got a great deal on this cruise and Viking has been on my bucket list so we went. It was a fabulous trip and we plan to take another. I can't say enough about the excellent service from everyone we encountered. The ship was very clean. getting on and off for excursions and just to head into town was SO easy. The included walking tours are a very nice touch and we enjoyed them. Some guides are ...

I wanted the opportunity to visit Hungary and Slovenia to learn a little more about what it was like to live behind the Iron Curtain. I also wanted to share the experience with my family and eight of were able to travel together. We were able to experience a little bit of Germany, Austria, Hungary and Slovenia. I called it,”A taste of Europe “ because in just seven days we were able to have ...

We picked this due to suggestions from friends and colleagues suggesting the Viking cruises. So we picked this one river cruise and so glad we had! Had such a wonderful time! All the tours were fantastic and very informative! Every city tour guides were very fun to be with and they all seemed to love their jobs. The staff on the longboat were wonderful. Gary was a delight and very ...

Viking was recommended by friends who had nothing but great thing to say about their experiences. This was our first Viking cruise, and it certainly won't be our last. In fact, we just booked a Viking Alaskan cruise! The Viking Villi felt like home thanks largely in part to the friendly crew and wonderful friends we made along the way. The meal offerings were extensive, delicious, and always ...

• We had to start on the Mimir in Budapest, as the Vili couldn’t make it due to low water level. We ultimately transferred to the Vili. • No one greeted us onboard on our arrival, in fact, ignored us including the security guard that was too busy on his phone to even check to see if we were guests or stowaways. • Food service on Mimir took over an hour at each dinner after placing order to ...

SUMMARY This was our first river cruise after 25+ ocean cruises and we had heard nothing but good things about Viking. Our river cruise wound up being about 1/3 European bus tour and while I can not fault Viking for low river levels, I can fault them for misleading information in their sales pitches (upper deck of the ship closed to passengers for 5 of the 14 days??? Really???) and how they ...
