Basically a good and enjoyable time
"After hauling our luggage down the gangway we finally found a member of the crew who advised us that we would have to go THROUGH the ship to the far side because there were 2 ships moored at the same docking location and the Kara was tied up to the ship that was moored along the shore.Once we passed through the dockside ship and were aboard the Kara, things got a bit smoother and a member of the crew got us checked in and helped transport our luggage to our stateroom...."Read More

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Kara

My wife and I booked our cruise down the Rhine as a retirement indulgence. We chose a September sailing so that the ports of call would be less crowded with families since most kids would be back in school.
Overall, we enjoyed our experience, but we got off to a bit of a rocky start. Our flight into Basel was delayed so we arrived about an hour later than originally expected. There was a ...

I have been on a Viking cruise before and loved it so much I decided to go again.
The excursions we chose were truly great, and all the guides and hosts were informative providing us with an unforgettable experience.
My favorites were Kinderdijk and the whole history, both past and present. It was fascinating. The beautifully preserved Marksburg Castle was enchanting giving us a historical ...

Viking does a nice job and is a good value for the money. The staff were for the most part friendly and helpful. The food is good and plentiful, however I would have liked a salad bar at lunch time. I'm not a vegetarian, but I do love vegetables and it was difficult to get my fill without making a lot of special requests. Also, while pastries were always available throughout the day, I would ...

The service was great from dining to housecleaning to ship activities. Most of all, people bending over backward to be helpful. Only a few issues of concern that could be improved on: 1) the lady at the front desk was not as friendly or helpful as she could have been, but all the other staff were superb, 2) some of your off ship excursions were excellent but some were not. For example, the ...

We chose this itinerary so we could see parts of Germany and Amsterdam. We had frineds who had sailed this trip and highly recommended it. We also did the pre-cruise extension to Lake Como with Viking and the Amsterdam post-cruise extension with Viking.
Viking handled everything well. We had a bit of a hiccup in Lake Como when our tour director fell in Bellagio and they had to get a ...

My husband's family is of German descent and this was the perfect opportunity to see the countryside.
It was a delightful voyage, perfect weather, excellent excursions for the most part. We wish we had had more free time at each city for shopping, etc. The information we were given before each stop was a good overview.
The crew was excellent. They bent over backwards to make our trip as ...

This was a fabulous itinerary. We did a pre stay in Lucerne which I highly recommended. One of the most beautiful places we have traveled to . The cruise itinerary went to some beautiful and picturesque towns. Absolutlely loved the town of Strasbourg. Highly recommend the optional excursion to Marksburg castle. And the scenic sailing was just like you see in all the commercials. Food was ...

We always wanted to do a European river cruise and because we were coming off a B2B Norwegian Fjords & Scandinavia cruise, we decided to include a Rhine river cruise. In a word, the cruise was outstanding.
First and foremost, our Captain, Michael was amazing. He was so engaging, approachable and so personable and shared so much knowledge of his experience cruising the European waterways. The ...

Desired to return to Germany and sail the Rhine. I met my husband there in 1979. He passed away 5 years ago before we had the opportunity to return. A dear friend offered to go with me. Everything was wonderful but the food. I am vegetarian and while they had vegetarian main course options at every meal, they were not edible, literally. I ended up eating nothing but salad for lunch and dinner for ...
