Based on our research, firsthand testimonials and travel agent recommendations, we chose Avalon. So, expectations were high. Well, this trip exceeded anything we could have dreamed of. Our trip was packaged with our travel agent through Avalon/Globus. This included the flights, transfers, accommodation (2 nights pre cruise in Prague) and on board gratuities...

We preferred to include Prague and Paris on land as part of this itinerary which focused on German towns. Did not realize ship was not at same spot when arriving and departing all ports.
The staff was amazing but there wasn’t enough entertainment after dinner. Piano man was very good but not enough.
The Music Trivia engaging game by team was fabulous. Additional Inter-active activities ...
Shout out to everyone who helped us book and plan this amazing journey. We also loved that you managed to have perfect weather and river heights too. Every one on board made us feel so at home and pampered. We loved the food and getting to meet so many wonderful people. The pacing of each day helped us not feel rushed or board. We especially loved the time when we drifted on the river spotting ...
Perfect time of the year to experience a river cruise. Not to hot and not to cool. Although the weather person got it all wrong. It was incredible weather in the mid 20's to highs of 32 Celsius, for the complete trip.
Prague is incredible, 4 days was not enough, could have spent more time . This is one beautiful city that is hard to describe, one has to experience it first hand to get a ...
My wife and I LOVED our time with Viking. We extended before the Cities of Light Cruise by going to Warsaw. That was amazing to see and experience Poland, my wife's father's family immigrated from there after the American Civil War. The cruise was wonderful, we love how our hotel moves with us every day. We extended after the cruise as well for extra days in Paris to see sites we missed back ...
I used to work in Europe and the Cities of Light Cruise went to many of the places I worked while there. Great Cruise starting in Prague and we extended at the end to Oxford England to visit Highclere Castle. Excellent stateroom with balcony, amazing service and tour Director…. A new interesting tour each day. Also made lots of new friends who we are keeping in touch with. Suggest you get the Air ...
Our second Viking River cruise did not disappoint. Knowing what to expect this time made packing and expectations easy. Our cruise director, captain and ship manager went above and beyond. Our weather was not up to par yet we couldn’t control that. The ship provided umbrellas for those rainy days and made sure excursions took into account the rain. The cruise was the right mixture of excursion and ...
The whole process was from booking to travel to sailing was easy and problem free. When I had questions I used the live chat and it worked great. Hotel in Prague before sailing was very nice as well as the hotel in Paris at the end of our trip.
The onboard experience - I loved it!! The excursions were well planned. We had great guides.
The staff was top notch. The meals were 5 star. The ...
We were going to London for a family wedding chose this Emerald cruise mostly due to the dates and their solo cabins.
The cruise included free airfare and since we were going to London, Emerald booked us flights to London rather than Prague, several days earlier, without any additional fees. We booked our own flight to Prague and still got the included transfer to the hotel. ...
We were wanting to go to Paris and got the flyer in the mail. Had only heard good things to say about Viking, so took a chance and booked in December. Unfortunately somehow we got connected with a travel agent out of Las Vegas. Once we paid in January never heard from her again. Luckily Viking 800 # was so helpful cause this was our first cruise and told us what to expect. Excursions were ...
