Viking Rinda River Cruises Reviews

Viking was everything it promised to be. They couldn't have done more to make the trip go smoothly and without anxiety on our part. The only negative if there was one is I would rather have seen fewer cities with more time in each. They were all whilrwind tours which were very good, but left us wanting more.

The Viking River cruise cabins are the most cramped uncomfortable rooms we have had on any cruise ever. I would not take another river cruise with them. This is not Affordable Tours or our agents fault but are Viking’s! While the service and excursions were superb the cabin size, lack of a fitness center and self laundry are a big negative.

All Viking Cruises have been outstanding.

The gardens of Giverney were spectacular! I also love the light show/music in the old quarry - well worth the extra cost for an added excursion!

I believe Affordable tours does a great job throughout the whole process

I would like to see the Paris at Night excursion on a different night than the last one (maybe the night in Paris on the front). We were in Paris all day at the end, came back and went out again at night. I had little time to pack and get ready for the early flight the next AM. Otherwise the trip was great in all respects.

Service was excellent. Great ship and crew. The best of everything, you must sign up and not miss this experience.

Excellent cruise...service was perfect as were all excursions!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Viking! They were just fabulous and amazing people! They were wonderful, the crew, program manager, tour guides, canin steward, waiters...just everybody! Best vacation we ever had and worth every penny!

We enjoyed this trip immensely. The staff made you feel special..wonderful service. Many extras are included in the price. Food was very delicious. Shore excursions very interesting with very knowledgeable guides. Overall a pleasant experience.

Overall, the Viking staff met expectations. However, the Bucharest team seemed lacking in experience and being able to deliver on the Viking promise of excellence. The multi-hour wait at the Bucharest Airport was uncharacteristic of Viking. And, the transportation to the Vienna Airport was chaos.

We like Viking Ocean better than Viking River. Food was very good but Viking encourages people to go into the dining room early and save seats so often it was hard to find a table that had room for our group of four. Tours and guides were very good but the optional tours are often expensive. They have the details down to make it an easy vacation.

Staff etc great but dinner seating too crowded and noisy. We had group of 6 and had to stand in line for table rather than enjoying cocktails. Also both Rhone and Rhine rivers polluted and smelly at times. Tours excellent! Rooms above expectations except would book 3rd level next time as many times room facing the underside of pier.

Trip was described as a river cruise which began while riverboat was docked in downtown Paris. About 3 weeks before the trip, after the date that we could cancel without penalty, we were notified that boat would be docking 11 miles outside of Paris. As a result, the entire Paris experience was changed resulting in way too many hours spent on bus shuttles or alternative trips which replaced the ability to step off the boat and explore the city. Viking provided no compensation except for an on-ship credit for a lunch. In addition, although we booked our flight through Viking, they refused transfer us from our point of arrival in Paris. We do not plan to travel again with Viking.
