The outside of the door into the Aquavit from the front deck. It stayed this dirty for the entire cruise.

We actually got switched at the last minute to Viking VE ship but since they are identical it didn't matter. We totally enjoyed our 15 days on this Viking ship. The crew were exceptional in taking care of us. The food was unbelievable. I especially liked the regional choices every day so we got a taste of local food. We only did the included daily excursions which were excellent. Different ...

The Viking Grand European Tour provides an unparalleled experience for travelling through multiple countries and cities in western Europe with a meaningful immersion into local cultures, without the stress of handling travel logistics. Having traveled Europe by air, rail and auto in the past, we were looking for a more relaxing way to travel, with more time for sightseeing, hiking, and ...

Less than full disclosure, Viking was not ethical

We had taken 3 Viking River Cruises in the past and thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the experience. After our July 2023 cruise we will never travel with Viking again. My main issue is that I believe that Viking knew at least a week before the start of the cruise that it was highly likely that we would have to swap ships and they deliberately avoided telling us. I contacted Viking 3 times ...

Euro River Cruise, BUD to Amsterdam, Viking Ve. This was a bucket list item for me. Budapest is an amazing place. My thirst for this city is only slightly satiated. Old Hungarians bristle at Hungary being in “Eastern Europe.” They like to think it’s in “Central Europe.” Younger Hungarians seem to ignore all of that and are striving just like productive younger people the world over. ...

I accompanied my daughter on the Grand European River cruise. She was so excited to see her dream destinations on this cruise, so this was the one. The cruise was fantastic! We loved the crew, they were so friendly and helpful. We were sad when they informed us half way through the cruise that the water level was too low and we would have to change ships. It was a very well executed transfer ...

We would like to see Tulips and Windmills. The main reason of the our trip is to learn about Flemish Culture and go to Bruges, Antwerp and other Belgium and Netherlands cities. We were surprised that after we came to Amsterdam on the first day we were transferred to Rotterdam instead staying in Amsterdam. Also we were told that there would be a shuttle from Rotterdam to Amsterdam but there ...

We were totally spoiled from the moment they met us at the airport. The service, food, accommodations, excursions and entertainment were all excellent. I knew very little about that part of Europe and enjoyed learning and experiencing it in style. I was especially thankful for the care and attention given to accommodate my special diet. The food was fantastic, its presentation was worthy of ...

No one should be prevented from joining a tour because of a disability or a handicap. This tour created a group of gentle walkers which was deeply appreciated. The program director David was such an enthusiastic person who always smiled and always had a solution to every problem that came up. The food was equal to a one star Michelin restaurant with many choices given nightly. The rooms were ...

Amazing first Viking river cruise with my college classmates. The experience exceeded my expectations. The customer service is impeccable. From our room stewards , Panji, who made sure our room is always comfortable for us to rest and to our dining staff,Connie, Stefan, and Jayson who made sure we have the best dining experience. They are top notch! The included excursion at every port ...
