We chose this cruise because it went to places we wanted to see, and doing some online research, the Danube was recommended and Viking was rated as one of the best river cruise lines. We also took advantage of a free airfare promotion.
PROS:
- Ship was beautiful and well laid out; Cabin review in separate section
- All staff were very helpful and attentive
- Food was excellent with ...
My wife and I had taken the Viking Rhine River cruise last November and loved it. A river cruise had been on our bucket list for quite some time and when Viking offered free airfare it was too good a deal to pass up. So when they offered the Danube Waltz cruise with free airfare we jumped at the chance and invited my sister and niece to join us. Well if anything the experience was even better. Of ...
I was looking for a nice trip for me and my adult daughter. She is an experienced traveler and has been to Europe quite a few times (her husband is from England and she has friends in Ireland and Italy). This seemed like a great trip that covered a lot of geography in as a relaxed way as possible. I wanted some structure, but the ability to do some on your own sightseeing including getting off the ...
We had previously taken a Viking Rhine River Cruise and enjoyed it so much that we wanted to do the Danube Waltz cruise with them. We started with their Prague pre-excursion package and stayed at the Prague Marriott hotel. The hotel was conveniently located near the Old Town, with many shops and restaurants. The breakfast was excellent. We did Viking's Prague walking tour, the Prague Night ...
This cruise was on our bucket list.
We loved that it's a small ship with a fabulous crew and no children under the age of 18.
They kept everything going like clock work. Always concerned about us being comfortable.
The cabins are comfortable and love that the bathroom floors where heated since it was colder than expected. Our cabin steward Eva was wonderful. She kept the room clean ...
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary - my heritage is Slavic/Hungarian, and going to Bratislava and Budapest was a draw. We are also musicians, so going to places with such rich musical history was a plus. The timing of the trip fit our schedule; the free air-fare pushed it over the top.
We loved the city tours, particularly the walking tours. I like to take great photos, and ...
This was a dream of my wife to do this. She and I were not disappointed.
The countries we traveled are special in their own right, but the addition of the Christmas markets and decorations made it even more special because it really added the experience of mingling with the people and local culture. It is a PERFECT time and way to experience these countries.
The Viking organization was ...
They think of EVERYTHING! I love everything about Viking. From the minute you step aboard, everything feels right. The staterooms are beautifully appointed.
The cuisine is superb, the staff is attentive and helpful, you can get specialty coffee all day long, along with little treats at no extra cost.
The ship is beautiful. The common areas of the sides of the ship are all ...
We have been on many cruises and none are better than Viking! This time, our cruise down the Danube River was amazing. The sights are spectacular. I especially liked the full commentary of everything around us as we cruised the incredibly scenic Wachau. Viking thinks of EVERYTHING. Wine, beer & soda are included at mealtime, (unlike most other cruises where there is an upcharge for this.) ...
We have done 3 previous Viking cruises and really enjoy them. The itinerary was great although we were disappointed we were in Vienna on a Sunday when all their shops were closed. I think I would have preferred to skip Slovakia and spent more time in Vienna. Sailing into Budapest at night was a highlight for us - with all the lights it was a wow moment! Each stop had a good included tour and we ...
