This was our first cruise abroad and I could not have been more pleased. The sites were saw were amazing, the tour guides were knowledgeable and informative, the food was gourmet and delicious, the wine and beer plentiful and the ship crew was top notch - professional, friendly, helpful, and enjoyable. We had a wonderful time thanks in most part by Viking. They took very good care of us and ...
This is our third Viking River cruise. The last two were 8 day cruises and we wanted to try something a bit longer. As usual we were met at the Budapest airport by Viking staff and they expeditiously got us and our luggage to the Skirnir. WE were shown to our suite by Ole Christensen the Hotel Manager and given a tour of the suites features and operations. This was the start of a cruise where ...
We had previously sailed with Viking on a river cruise and found it to be very enjoyable, so we decided to try them again to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. As before, they took care of all the details from start to finish, so all we had to do was unpack, stay informed (they did a great job of communicating the activities that were available), and enjoy the experience. The voyage itself ...
Our ship was changed from the Modi to Skirnir . No matter. They are all almost identical. We toured fromBudapest to Amsterdam and extended our cruise by adding 2 days in Amsterdam. If you don’t, you arrive in Amsterdam and depart for the airport immediately.
They crew was wonderful. The ship was great. Comfortable rooms, great food, and entertainment in lounge in the evening. We learned of the ...
Wow, where to begin. We went on the Viking ship Skirnir. November 28- December 6, 2022. From when we first booked this cruise and until our departure, flights were changed several times (and we had to scurry to arrange upgraded seats each time on our own because “Viking doesn’t handle it”). Our ship was also changed at the last minute. When we got to the airport, we were told our flights were ...

We loved the itinerary of the Grand European Tour. The pace of the cruise was perfect with daily excursions with plenty of time to sit back relax each day. Each excursion that was offered was very enjoyable and offered extra time to spend in the town/city as we needed. The seating for the meals was perfect for meeting new friends. From embarkation to disembarkation, the service of the Viking ...
This was our second Viking River Cruise. The Grand European offered many sites to see, in a 15 day period.
We enjoyed seeing Amsterdam, Cologne, and Vienna. Those cities were amazing with so much to see and do.
The small towns and cities offered many excursions as well.
The food on the ship was very good, as was the wine and beer. The Aquavit Terrace service, during lunch and dinner ...
We had heard so many rave reviews about Viking and this cruise that we had to go. We were totally blown away by the service, the staff, the accommodations, the food and the care and attention to detail every member of the staff and crew showed us. Our meals, crafted by Chef Russell, were amazing. And Chef Russell was very entertaining when describing each night's regional meal. Shout out to ...
My group with 14 people took our first time river cruise with a friend recommended Viking Company.
Here are my opinions below:
1) The water level is too low to sail on the river between Amsterdam, Netherlands and Cologne Germany.
So The company used the bus for this section. We have to carry the luggage every day. And the food of lunch and
dinner are not satisfied. It's ...
We were looking forward to our cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest with Viking. Due to low water, we spent some time on buses. Viking did their best to navigate around the low water, however, they knew this was going to be a problem and we were not advised till after the trip began. Europe was experiencing a heat wave and AC was a must. The ship's AC was only operating at 50%, which made the common ...
