My wife and I picked this tour to celebrate her breast cancer cure. The "Laura Beats Cancer Cruise" started in Amsterdam with the two day extension offered by Viking. We toured the Anne Frank House and toured the canals lit up brightly for Christmas. We started our tour on the Viking Eir because the Mani was trapped by high water in Basel. Before long the high water would become our problem ...

Having booked this cruise with friends over 2 years before - I was anticipating how lovely it will be. I was not disappointed with the ship. I watch a lot of PBS and Viking Commercials have always made me dream of taking a river cruise. We had a close group of 14 people among an extended group of 40. The ship isn't very big so it was wonderful to not have to deal with crowds and have everyone ...

We chose Viking as we wanted the smaller group experience of a river cruise and we were not disappointed! From the moment we arrived in Basel and were greeted by Viking staff we felt taken care of. The staff were welcoming and so friendly, it seemed that all of the staff were focused on us having a good time. The included excursions were very nice, the walking was a little tough for my ...

For years my wife has wanted to see castles so the Rhine River cruise seemed to fit the bill. Even before we left the communication and detail of the pre-trip experience gave us confidence and comfort that everything was prepared and ready to go. We booked our flights through Viking as well in hopes it made the entire experience seamless. It was. From the moment we boarded the flight to ...

The Viking river cruises were suggested to us by people who previously booked with Viking. We were pleasantly surprised by the efficiency of the crew. We were booked into a standard room and it served us well, as the only time we were in the room was to sleep. We can't say enough good things about the food and waitstaff on our boat - we were treated like royalty and the food was outstanding! ...

We chose the cruise because a friend has been on six of them and loved them. Arcy and Zorro were awesome serving us. I was touched that they even made sure they knew our names. There wasn’t a single day that we weren’t greeted with a smile & polite conversation. The excursions we awesome. The cruise director was unbelievably helpful so that everyday we knew exactly what we were doing. The ...

Everything about our cruise was exceptional! The food was awesome! The selection of food each day was amazing. We preferred eating on the ship! The service of all the staff was very accommodating. The general atmosphere of the ship was very comfortable and casual. You could dress for dinner or remain in your day clothes. Whatever you preferred to do! We went on many of the additional ...

We had talked of this cruise and planned to go but Covid interrupted us. Then, out of the blue, friends of ours were planning to go along with some golfing buddies and wanted us to join. We did and were excited from that moment on. Due to some health issues, we haven’t been able to travel as we’d hoped to in our retirement. This trip provided that to us. It’s the only way we really want to ...

We had a great experience on the Rhine River with Viking. Viking exceeded my expectations! All the excursions were well planned and timely. The included excursions were very good. Viking had there own fleet of coach buses for the excursions and they were all very nice. All the tour guides were top notch...either currently lived in the towns we were touring or were former inhabitants. This ...

We loved this Viking River Cruise! All the tour guides were super knowledgeable about all the areas we explored. The food was excellent and the Staff was friendly and helpful. The Castles we saw on the Middle Rhine and the Black Forest region in Germany were the highlights. I also loved the little village of Barr near Strasbourg France. We did a Wine Tasting tour there. Our cabin was comfortable ...
