We will be celebrating our 50th anniversary this year and really wanted to splurge on a fabulous trip. Due to concerns over low water levels last summer and fall, we opted to book our cruise in May. As Mother Nature decided to make up for her performance last year, we had nearly a solid week of cool temperatures and sometimes heavy rains. Several of the heavier downpours occurred during our ...
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 ...
This was our second Viking Cruise. We had the same type room which did not disappoint. The cleaning staff kept our room very clean. The view of the Danube was great although when you are parked in a lock, you don’t see anything.
The excursions were well organized and interesting. We loved Vienna especially but did not feel that Slovakia offered much. I would recommend a different port. It ...
Viking offered a price on a European cruise that we could afford, and we had been wanting to do a river cruise for a long time. We loved the format of the cruise, the relaxed atmosphere, adults only. We didn't have to choose expensive shore excursions, there was no high pressure sales of photos, etc., and there were no requirements on our time until debarkation. The guides on the tours were very ...
This was our first Viking Cruise. My husband and I have done over 35 ocean cruises. I chose Viking because of their reputation and we liked the itinerary. This was a rebooking from a covid cancellation. We did the Prague pre cruise package.
Pre cruise: We arrived in Prague on Thursday. The Prague airport felt new and very clean. The line for customs was long, but moved pretty fast. The Viking ...
We chose this cruise for the tour down the Danube. Our first river cruiswe and we were thrilled. We met wonderful people and the staff was amazing. Very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. The cruise itself was so fun and picturesque. We really enjoyed the tours and learned so much about the history and culture of the cities and tours. We started 2 days ahead in Prague and then went to ...
Chose this cruise for 2 reasons: a) My birthday b) Mary Berry on board as my wife is a fan!
The crew were excellent; all seemed to get on really well and were very efficient & cheerful
Excursions were also v.good with free time to explore. Local guides spoke good English & were easily understood.
The cabins have a poor layout & poor sound insulation. The wall which has your headboard has ...
We have sailed on both Viking River and Viking Ocean ships, which we have enjoyed a great deal. When we saw the itinerary for this trip we decided to go. We are very glad that we did, because we had the most wonderful time. The ports of call were all amazing. We saw and learned a great deal at each stop. All the tour guides were excellent and we especially found the tour guide for the ...
First time on River Cruise. Really appreciated the size and intimacy of a river cruise. Also, being able to walk off the ship right into town for serval of the ports/ cities along the Danube. Service was excellent. Really enjoyed most of the excursions. Excellent in country guides. Highlights of the trip: mid day organ concert in Passau, sailing through the Wachau Valley, Sailing into Budapest at ...
We'd never done a river cruise (lots of ocean cruises) and my spouse and I both saw this in the Viking brochure and said 'let's do it."
The service was simply outstanding, from being greeted at the dock and checking in to checking out and leaving a week later. Staff was incredibly helpful and the city guides were incredibly knowledgeable. Even the weather cooperated for our trip.
