Passage to Eastern Europe Cruise Reviews

“My friend and I took our first river cruise on Viking Primadonna from Budapest to Bucharest this past November and it was a FABULOUS trip! We also did a pre-cruise extension in Prague which was awesome too. Everyone associated with Viking was professional and knowledgeable. We have already booked our next river cruise for October of 2012! Thanks, Viking!”

Rhine Getaway Cruise Reviews

“The most wonderful experience! Great accommodations. The staff were so gracious, friendly and helpful; they treated us like we were so important. Remembering our names was exceptional. Tour guides were fun and made each exploration special—and they were careful to make sure we all got to and from our excursions with nobody left behind. Also meeting new friends from other countries made the trip even more fun. I am eager to go on another. We highly recommend Viking for any cruise you may want—they are premium!”

Vineyards & Vistas Cruise Reviews

“My husband and I had the most wonderful time on our Vineyards & Vistas cruise. The recently refurbished Viking Fontane was absolutely beautiful! The staff was great, the food and wine fabulous and the tours were very interesting. It was our first river cruise and we are planning on another for this year. It was so much fun meeting new and interesting people while sailing the Moselle and Rhine River. Viking gives us the perfect way to travel and explore new and interesting destinations.”

Elegant Elbe Cruise Reviews

“We have just returned from Elegant Elbe, Berlin to Prague. We traveled with two close friends of ours and had a wonderful time—the food was excellent, the staff was friendly and went out of their way to make our trip enjoyable, and the many extras made the whole experience memorable (wine with dinner, planned excursions with buses at every stop at no extra charge, clean and comfortable rooms, a large bottle of water in our room every day, entertainment almost nightly). We spent several days in Berlin before the cruise and several days in Prague after the cruise—we highly recommend this extra time. We plan to do another cruise next year.”

Looking forward to another Viking cruise. Thanks so much!”

Footsteps of the Cossacks Cruise Reviews

“We just completed this cruise that started in Kiev and ended in Odessa. We had a wonderful time and thought the cruise and its itinerary were very good. We had a brilliant lecturer on board and of course the sites of Kiev (a gem), Yalta and Odessa are just fabulous. The river itself is a restful journey, stopping at two towns along the way. The ship is extremely clean, well-organized and our room was pretty and quite comfortable; housekeeping were extraordinary in their work and took immediate action if anything was needed. The crew and staff are great—efficient and extremely friendly, nice people who try very hard to make your experience a good one. The food is very good, varied with quite large portions. The trip is well worth it and a great deal of fun. I have taken many cruises and I cannot think of a negative on this one. A great experience, especially if you are a history buff! We loved it.”

China’s Cultural Delights Cruise Reviews

“This was the most amazing trip we have ever taken. Thank you to Viking for providing such a safe environment, complete with luxurious hotels and gracious, well-informed tour guides—ours was very dependable, caring and patient. We witnessed sights we have only read about and would have never imagined setting foot in. We were in constant awe and comfort as the days flew by.

Magnificent Mekong Cruise Reviews

“As second-time Viking cruisers (Russia was fabulous!) we knew we’d be well cared for, but the Mekong cruise was far beyond our expectations. The (chartered) RV Tonle was a really cool ship with a capable and helpful crew. After our tour leader showed us the history and bustle of Saigon, the cruise up the river was truly a trip into a different world. Our days in Cambodia were some of the most exotic travel experiences we’ve ever had. We plan to go back to Cambodia next year to spend more time in the Angkor Wat temples. Our Viking cruise was the best introduction to this fascinating and wonderful part of the world. My wife and I have recently been studying the Viking River Cruises brochures to spot our next trip to a wonderful new location. All of the Viking staff have made us want to be regulars.”

Pathways of the Pharaohs Cruise Reviews

“What a fantastic trip along the Nile in Egypt! Everything—including all the hotels, shipboard accommodations, balloon rides, food and guides—were very well put together and were right on target. I would recommend this to anyone. We really appreciated the unbelievable knowledge of Egypt and the intelligent and thoughtful way this knowledge and understanding were passed along to all of us in a way that we could really comprehend. We were treated royally.”
