I have been interested in taking a Viking River Cruise since they sponsored "Downton Abbey." Having been to Vienna and Budapest in the 1970s, I was anxious to see them again.
I cannot believe how wonderfully we were treated. I loved everything about the cruise. From the time we landed in Munich, we were treated like royalty. Our luggage was collected for us and delivered to our ...
We wanted to take a cruise, but not on a big ocean liner! something small and with a Cozie feel to it, we picked this cruise off our bucket list of places to visit! And we were not disappointed. everything was from the first step on to the last step off was the best!! Every person on that staff was friendly and polite. And very professional. We will look for a Viking cruise every time we travel. ...
From the moment we were met in baggage claim until we passed back through security 11 days later we were treated to an utterly fantastic vacation by every Viking representative. Not a single details was lost along the way. We recovered from our jet lag with 3 days in Prague before boarding our ship, Embla. Prague is among one of our favorite cities in all of Europe and is must see on any European ...
This trip was 3 years in the planning the areas of visits and tours was a selling point. Since I enjoy comfort my travel companion and I opted for a Veranda suite was worth every penny. Fresh fruit and flowers every day a welcome bottle of Champagne a stocked fridge with water beer and wine what more could you ask and a big surprise free laundry if I would have known that I would have packed ...
My expectations, which were high, were exceeded in every aspect. The attention to passenger convenience and comfort, the attention to safety security, the choice of knowledgeable tour guides, the fabulous food, and schedule organization were managed with precision and expertise. Everyone on the staff treated the guests with the highest degree of courtesy and professionalism while exhibiting great ...
After an awesome cruise on the Rhine with friends a couple years ago, we joined the same group for a next cruise plan. Unfortunately, that cruise was postponed due to the pandemic - twice. Finally, we were back together for a second cruise on the Danube. Our expectations were high, and we were rewarded with another grand adventure Viking River Cruise. This time we scheduled a pre-cruise in ...
Being that it was our first Viking River Cruise, or any kind of cruise, the questions abounded. But from landing in Munich to begin our journey, to the boarding of the River Boat Embla, we quickly discovered that the Viking Crew had everything in hand and all of our questions, and those even not thought of were answered. It was actually such a whirlwind adventure we didn't even realize how great ...
We chose this cruise because of the location- Prague to Budapest- and because 3 couples from different areas of US wanted to experience a trip together. Our hotels were located near sites and public transportation. There was a long and then rushed bus ride from Prague to Passat but then we boarded and the adventure continued! Wait staff was first rate- always ready to meet our needs. The cruise ...
Pre-cruise hotel in Munich (Hilton) was fine. We needed to place a call for A/C fan not working. Tours were good and interesting. Local restaurants were few, we needed to secure rides to get dinner.
Pre-cruise hotel in Salzburg (Sheraton) was nice and close to shopping and restaurants. Tours and tour guides were outstanding. Our Viking representative for these four days was great.
We ...
We chose to do the Prague pre-cruise extension. While the weather wasn't the best (chilly, some rain) we felt this was the best part of the trip. We met 7 awesome people that we ended up socializing, eating meals with and in our same tour group the whole trip.! I truly believe we were meant to do this just to meet these friends which we know will be life long. The architecture , history and ...
