Viking Cruises Reviews

We love Viking! Very organized-staff is very efficient!! Can’t wait to sail again!!!

This was our 3rd Viking Trip and it was everything we expected from Viking. The staff, the service and the ports were exceptional. We missed two ports, due to low water levels, however, Viking kept us informed and made quick arrangements for other tours in unexpected places, make lemonade out of lemons.

Everything was just as we expected.

This was our first tour with Viking and we were very pleased. The service and personal attention was wonderful. The excursions were delightful, and that includes both the included city tours and the paid excursions. We will choose Viking again in the future.

Our flight from Frankfort to London was delayed, placing our connection in jeopardy. We contacted Viking and their response was amazing. They booked us on a later flight in case we missed our connection. When we arrived in London, we were greeted by a Viking rep along with a member of airport security. They expedited our travel through the airport, including a cart for all of us. We managed to make it before boarding was complete. We definitely would not have made that connection without Viking help.

Affordable Tours were very helpful. The only issue is we were not aware the ship could only sail at night on the Douro River. Viking did not mention this, nor was it in their literature. We only found out once the trip stated. Consequently, we spent a lot of time on buses and did not have much time at any of the ports due to leaving early in the day to sail to our next stop.

The trip was great and exceeded expectations.

Viking was amazing, as always!

Absolutely amazing trip

It was a great trip

Nice trip included excursions a busy trip. Do not recommend doing two excursions in one day

The river cruises are somewhat slower paced than the land tours, but enjoyable just the same.

This was our second River cruise with Viking and several excursions were disappointing.

We have now completed 4 River boat or ocean cruises with Viking and they never disappoint. Many other operators offer similar packages, but they do not include the land excursions lead by local experts. My only disappointment on the Amsterdam to Bruges cruise (Bruges was a well worth it add on) is that I opted for a French balcony to save about $100 a day as I did not think I would have too much of an opportunity to utilize it. I did not realize that because we did not have a full balcony, the size of the room changed from 205 ft^2 down to @135 ft^2 . Room was still lovely, just a bit too cramped for 2 spry seniors. This was totally my error and taught me another valuable lesson.

Viking is a class act! We enjoyed every tour, the riverboat itself, and especially our suit. The entire team was very well organized and professional, and most of all fun! The trip was relaxing, interesting, and we met a lot of new friends!

Viking Mississippi very disappointed there were no swimming pool, just infinity plunger pool and no casino due small ship very good food served. Thrilled to meet Steve Azar, famous music like Elvis Presley.

Viking offers a quality trip, loved it!

Viking is always are go to company and also using Affordable Tour. Viking goes above and beyond on their services and making sure everything goes as smooth as possible. Our ship was changed to the Viking Hemming and it even had a pool.

Wished we could have experienced a stay at the Peabody hotel in Memphis. Was told this was not possible. Was not true. Needed more time at Graceland. All other aspects were great!

Viking is well organized, efficient and just pleasant. Their tour director is one of the best we’ve encountered.

The trip was everything we expected plus more because we also were fortunate to have perfect weather the entire time. The Viking staff is always exceptional. All tour guides on the excursions we selected were excellent, well informed and helpful. Our tour director, was a master of organization and attentiveness. We cannot come up with any complaints.

Super cruse. Only thing we had an issue with was the breakfast hours was to short forcing us to hurry or miss breakfast.

Viking staff is exceptional.

Wonderful experience overall.

If you're into Egyptian History, this is a Wonderful trip experience.

We are big Viking fans having sailed with them 10 times. The Christmas market sailings are always magical. Knowing what I know now I would not book a last sailing before they lay the ships up for winter. It seems some maintenance was simply deferred for their upkeep period instead of being addressed. For example, one of the two coffee stations was out of order the entire time and the second failed near the end of the voyage, It also seemed they were not fully staffed which led to a lot of wait time for meal service.

Everything was great No complaints from me Service, food and people great

Viking had the best staff for attentiveness to every need. They supplied large umbrellas (rained every day) and gave out water for excursions. The guides for the excursions were local but English was easily understood and they were both knowledgeable and able to entertain. French balcony was perfect for fall trip.

Viking may cost a little more, but they offer a complete package that is worry free.

We had a great time seeing all the castles and cathedrals on our river cruise from Paris to Zurich.

Our trip was wonderful. Everything was very organized. The New York Hotel in Budapest was fabulous. Can't say enough positives about our trip.

We experienced a wonderful journey along the Danube river (from Budapest to Regensburg). Our room was very clean and all the programs was exactly as they were explained.

The operator, Viking, Met all of our expectations and provided exemplary service. We will continue to book trips with this operator.

Everything went perectly

Travelers to Europe in the fall should be aware of the fact that low water does happen on the rivers and be prepared to have to swap ships or have their trip adjusted or changed depending on the company. We made 2 ship swaps on Viking and it was seamless and did not affect our itinerary, but other cruise lines were not so lucky on the Danube.

This was our first River Cruise and it exceeded our expectations. Service on the ship was impeccable, from cleaning to dining. The local tour guides all spoke very good English, and although they sometimes gave us more history than we would remember, they were engaging and interesting. Busses were provided for city and optional tours and the drivers were incredible navigating huge busses through narrow streets. The cities on the itinerary were chosen well for their beauty and historical values. Altogether one of the best trips we have ever taken,

Viking always is excellent.

A wonderful and seamless trip from the day of booking until our arrival home!

Viking is the right luxury level for us.

The Viking Rhine River Cruise on the Tialfi was spectacular. We wouldn't change a thing! Food was delicious and staff was fun and courteous. Accommodations were superb and ship was spotless. We enjoyed the excursions which were done by professional guides. We found out that the Tialfi was rated #1 among the Viking Long ships for their food. We were so glad that we happened to get this ship!

Tour with Viking is always exceptional. We enjoyed the friendliness of the staff and the food was delicious. Planning to book another tour for next year.

The Viking experience is wonderful! They provide first class service - this includes check in, excursions, dining, housekeeping, maintenance issues, etc. This was our 2nd Viking River Cruise and it too exceeded our expectations.

Viking is just wonderful in all regards,

Viking continues to be very high customer oriented company and provide services that truly match their advertising. "travel in comfort."

Very happy with services, itinerary and tours provided by Viking. Staff is friendly and aim to please.

We have done 8 Viking cruises, this crew was the best of the 8.

This was our first river cruise, but I can't imagine it being any better. Viking Cruises took care of every little detail from the time we landed in Prague until the time we left Budapest. Nothing was left to chance and the service was top of the line. Thanks Viking.

Great trip,but the quality of food is not the same as on previous trips.

Great trip!

This trip was amazing, truly a once in a lifetime trip and we had a great time.
