Best Value and Service on Viking Vali River Cruises
Most amazing trip. Cant wait to do another one.
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.
While Viking did everything possible to make the trip as enjoyable as expected, I would probably not book another river cruise with Viking or their competitors. The total cost of the cruise far exceeded the value received. The cabin, while functional, was cramped and located at the stern of the boat and subjected us to noise and vibration whenever the boat docked, left the dock or positioned to enter the locks.The included tours for the most part were shallow and very limited. Most of the really interesting excursions were optional and considering what was already paid, very over priced The program director was great and was the most enjoyable part of the tour. High water limited the time on the sun deck and restricted the view of the riverbank scenery. I feel escorted bus tours provide much more sightseeing for the money. The meals were excellent, but I feel that is where most of our tour cost money went.



The Viking Ship experience is excellent. Viking air is another story. They need to upgrade their process.
