We enjoyed this cruise in 2019 with its magnificent shore cruises - Camargue, Lavendar fields, Lyon, Vienne, the train de l'Ardèche, and in 2023 wanted to enjoy the shore excursions on the east bank of the Rhone. We enjoyed the olive farm, Pont de Gard, Avignon, and Arles before one of us got sick. From then until the end of the cruise, we self-quarantined although we weren't required to do so ...

The crew was great! Worked very hard and made our not so good cruise a bit better. We started our cruise in Lyon with our private driver, driving us around in traffic for 45 minutes trying to find where our boat was docked. They had switched locations and the last location they sent was incorrect. Driver dropped us off, and after many unanswered calls with Viking we found where our ship was ...

We were looking for something special to do with our adult children and daughter-in-law to celebrate several events all at the same time, including our wedding anniversary, milestone birthdays that went uncelebrated due to Covid-19, my son’s anniversary of employment, my 9-year retirement anniversary and Father’s Day. We selected Viking’ cruise upstream the Rhône River, from Avignon to Lyon, ...

Did the 3day Pre-Paris extension…high sped TVG Paris to Lyon where we boarded the Heimdal. The entire crew helped to make this a top drawer experience. I was disappointed in the fact that I had called and spkoken with a Viking rep about my dietary needs. However upon boarding the Maître d’ didn’t even have my name as special needs on his clip board. However Manuel took care to make sure to ...

We had always heard the Provence area of France was amazing. We wanted to see it but knew that the pace of land tours was not an option since we have some mobility issues. We decided that a River cruise may be the way to go. No suitcase out early in the morning with multiple hotels. We started with the pre trip extension to Nice which was absolutely marvelous! The hotel overlooked the ...

Viking goes above and beyond when it comes to paying attention to all those small details that you'd never think of to provide the absolutely highest standard of service. The entire crew has been so well trained in customer service that they set the bar for taking care of people. Can't wait to take another cruise with Viking. The chef provided delish meals with beautiful presentations. ...

We enjoyed this cruise. It was very relaxing and well executed by crew. The ship was great and the service was as good as it gets. We chose this cruise, because we wanted to see Provence, France. I wish the cruise had actually covered more geography and towns in Provence, but this was the avenue we chose. The included excursions were well executed and the optional excursions were for the most ...

My wife and I took our first cruise of any kind on the Viking Heimdal and could not have been more pleased. The friendliness, attentiveness, and assistance by the staff was extraordinary. As "newbies", we especially appreciated of having Viking staff take us in hand and accompany us during our entire journey from arriving at our embarkation airport (Marseilles) to our entry into airport security ...

I just completed my 5th Viking cruise. This was my 4th river cruise. My daughter selected this cruise to celebrate her 45th birthday. She had not been to France, so we added the pre-extension in Paris. A Viking rep and private driver were waiting for us when we exited baggage claim at CDG. Springtime in Paris is beautiful with all the chestnut trees blooming in shades of white and pink. I ...

If there was a zero, I'd have used it - but you have to pick at least "1" rating to leave a review.

We were invited to join some friends whose cruise had been cancelled during Covid, so we booked our trip and arrived 3 days prior to do some sight-seeing of our own. Little did we know that would be the best part of our trip. Viking changed the itinerary based on French Strikes that were planned weeks before departure and would not let us reschedule without forfeiting 65% of our money. This ...
