Viking Hild River Cruises Reviews

Excellent trip, excellent food and excellent crew. Probably the best riverboat cruise we have taken.

The Viking Company did an excellent job organizing and executing a wonderful and informative cruise. The food was awesome, guides were informative and the crew was great.

I was not made aware of the optional tours in Paris with the exception of the Montmartre tour.

We had a wonderful time on our Viking cruise (Zurich to Paris, August 2018). Everything was well organized, from embarkation to departure. The crew was extremely professional. The food was excellent. The ship was very clean and well maintained. The daily schedule is a nice mix of structured activities with free time. My minor complaint is that the cabins are a bit tight. Our ship avoided some of the problems that affect European river cruising during summer months when water levels are lower. The captain monitored the situation very carefully and we departed from one of our ports a few hours earlier than scheduled. This proved to be a smart decision. Our ship, Viking Modi, was one of two ships sailing on the Rhine and Moselle in late August that arrived on time.

Our room, staff, good food certainly was above average

Viking took care of us from the time we arrived until our flight home and didnt miss a beat the entire trip. Food was excellent, service even better.

Excellent trip. The included shore excursions were sometimes a little to much walking and climbing steps, but it was still good.

Good standards made the events very special!

Viking River Cruises are first rate. The onboard staff are all friendly and professional. We haven't met one yet that we thought was anything else but that. Itineraries are very interesting and the local tour guides really enhance any trip.

Somehow, the food was not as good as the previous river cruise. A little bit disappointed. Except that, overall it was good.

This turned out to be a troubled and disappointing trip. Due to high water levels the ship(s) could not and did not sail. Our trip became a land tour on coaches and a transfer from the Viking Hild to the Viking Heja which also did not sail. The crew on the Hild was very good as opposed to the Heja where the crew seemed to be going through the motions only. Our trip home was delayed in Montreal by 4 hours due to aircraft maintenance problems. The Christmas Markets were crowded and mostly food. Having been to some of the cities previously, we were stunned by the crowds. In Prague, we oddly were in the square at Charles University just as a shooting broke out leaving 14 dead. Viking has offered vouchers for 50% of the total paid for the trip as compensation for the lack of river cruising.
