Best Value and Service on Viking Egil River Cruises
Viking met and exceeded our expectation. It was our very first river cruise and we're simply blown away with the overall experience. The room was always kept neat and tidy. The food and wait staff were outstanding. All the included excursions were great. Couldn't have ask for a better trip. Another check mark off our bucket lists!
Ship was unable to sail the majority of the time secondary to the low water level; this greatly affected my experience. I am aware that Viking cannot control the weather but was informed that the water level had been low for several weeks prior to our trip and the ships had been unable/limited to sail for several weeks. I was only given about 24 hours notice of this situation and therefore unable to cancel/change my vacation. I paid for a cruise and basically got a bus tour. All in all though, the service and accommodations were excellent.
Our next trip will definitely be arranged with Affordable Tours. My wife and I appreciated the excellent care, information, and rapid responses that our tour consultant provided for us. I have recommended Affordable Tours to many of my friends.
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 trip was great and exceeded expectations.
Trip was just beautiful. Meals were excellent Viking Staff and experience were top notch. They could not do enough for you to make your experience more memorable. The river cruise thru the Waknau Valley were truly the most beautiful I have ever seen on a cruise. Would suggest that you tempor you off ship excursions as there are a lot to choose from and you are constantly on the go if you don't . Most excursions start early in the AM so do not expect to sleep in... Viking's assistance on transfers were well above expectations with on site representatives at both entry and exit airports. Could not have done it with out them.
The ship was lovely, and the room was very comfortable and well thought-out in terms of limited space. Staff was very, very pleasant and helpful.
last year we went down the danube river cruise and was impressed with the service, food, and the itinary. . It was our first cruise so we really had a good time. The excursions were well organized but could not get the excursions that I wanted to see, but that was ok.
The food was unremarkable. Our stateroom was not thoroughly cleaned upon our arrival. The balcony was a waste as in every port we rafted with other ships. The walking included tours were a waste of time.
We were extremely disappointed in the non-cruise!!! Local people told us the Danube has been very low for months. Alison, you only emailed us that Information the evening before we left. It was too late to rethink going at all or to cancel. All 22 of us in our group felt Viking had deceived us. We only got bus trips for our $10,000 cost. We read on line that Viking has been doing this stunt for quite a long time. We expect compensation for the deception we received from Viking. Being not truthful to your passengers will negatively affect recommendations to cruise with you or referrals to do business with your company! 22 of us were extremely disappointed! No one wants to go on your cruises again. If you had been truthful that may have been different. So sad we wasted our $10,000 and were deceived into booking with you.... People in our group are contacting the CEO of Viking.
The price for this vacation was well above average, but the accommodations were not.



If we had questions we could always call & get answers. This was our first river cruise so we were unfamiliar with what to bring, etc. the cruise was everything we expected & more. Thank you Shannon.
