Bad communication

Ship: Viking Sun
Sail Date: Nov 26, 2011

The ship experience was lovely. Very intimate with less than 200 on board. Food was delicious and service was good, although some of the servers at lunch/dinner seemed to be cranky at times. Our cabin steward was wonderful--she kept our room spotless. The piano player in the lounge was exceptional. He took requests and played age appropriate songs for our group and showed us a good time each night. My main complaint is that we only got 2 days of cruising since the Rhine River was not navigable for most of our trip. No one from Viking communicated that to us or we might have made other plans. They did put us up in hotels but that's just not the same as being aboard the ship.

First Time Cruisers

Ship: Viking Danube
Sail Date: Jul 03, 2010

We weren't sure what to expect but our cruise was better than we could have imagined. At first we felt guilty about being so spoiled, but we quickly got used to it and enjoyed every minute.

p This was our first River...

Ship: Viking Prestige
Sail Date: Jun 03, 2012

p This was our first River Cruise and i don#39;t think it will be the last!!!! What a charming way to enjoy a relaxing cruise..... ! The Viking Prestige was a beautiful ship..... up-to-date in every way.... I had full internet connections everywhere except when we were down in the deepest locks. The food was great..... selections were very varied and everyone should have been satisfied! Ports of call were nicely done with the included tours... seeveral times we went out on our own just to be able to prowl the side streets and sample the local fare. Our room was very spacious and had lots of storage... our attendant was awesome and kept everything very pristine! The scenery was beyond description - the main reason we chose this trip - and we were not disappointed!! We loved everything.... Viking did a fine job and we would not hesitate to book with them again!!!

Are you kidding?

Ship: Viking Prestige
Sail Date: Jun 01, 2012

Viking has just pulled the biggest gaffe of any cruise line we have ever used. We booked a river cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam 10 months ago. We also booked our airline through them (and paid a $300 premium to arrive one day early with preferred selection for our air travel). Our airline seat assignments were arranged. Five months ago, the airline switched to a larger plane. Viking did not tell us or our travel agent of the plane and seat changes....and we did not find out about them until after we received our final packet of information from Viking. The package showed the seat assignments we had selected for the return flight, but no seat assignments shown for the departing flight, probably because they were embarrassed about how miserable they were. We have been given the WORST POSSIBLE seat assignments. For our long flight to Europe, the four members of our party have been given the MIDDLE SEAT in FOUR DIFFERENT ROWS. We are now told it is too late to change our seat ass...

Ports in Viking River Cruises

St. Petersburg, Russian Federation (120 Reviews)

Peter the Great styled this to be his Venice of the North. Italian architects created baroque facades, the match of any, to line the banks of the Neva River. Long, arched bridges join the city's halves. You'll want to see the spires of the Saints Peter and Paul Fortress, the blue domes of the Ouspensky Cathedral and, of course, some of the million masterworks of art contained in the Hermitage galleries of the Winter Palace. Learn More »

Odessa, Ukraine (10 Reviews)

Walk the stone-paved streets of Odessa with its beautiful buildings and monuments. Each has its own story, rumors and legends. Maritime Boulevard offers breathtaking views of the seaport, and the famous Potemkinskaya Stairs and Old Odessa remain as they were in Porto Franco times. Also, discover one of the most gorgeous Opera Houses in Europe, rivaling even the Vienna Opera. Learn More »

Amsterdam, Netherlands (8 Reviews)

One of Europe's leading cities, Amsterdam's rings of canals and traditional Dutch architecture are unmistakable. Rich in art, history and culture, Amsterdam is home to the Van Gogh museum, Anne Frank's house, and the Rijksmuseum, which houses many works by Rembrandt and Vermeer. Learn More »

Sevastopol, Ukraine (6 Reviews)

Sevastopol sits on the southwestern Crimea peninsula, offering a rich connection to the past and a beautiful view of the Black Sea. Birthplace of the modern Cyrillic alphabet, Sevastopol features picturesque village squares, a gorgeous harbor, and a fascinating historical museum. Tour ancient landmarks, trace the steps of Crimean War soliders, or dive headfirst into the exciting area nightlife. Learn More »

Yalta, Ukraine (5 Reviews)

Yalta faces the Black Sea on the southern shore of the Crimean Peninsula. Settlements on the site date from prehistoric times, but modern Yalta developed only in the early 19th century, becoming a town in 1838. Its favorable climate with mild winters and its scenic location between sea and mountains make Yalta one of the most popular holiday resorts of Ukraine. Learn More »

Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam (5 Reviews)

Ho Chi Minh City is the economic center of Vietnam. Until the reunification of North and South Vietnam in April 1975 the city's name was Saigon. The Communist government of Hanoi renamed it in honour of Ho Chi Minh, the leader of the Communist forces during the Vietnam War. But the inhabitants of the city have never quite gotten accustomed to the new name and thus still prefer the old name,Saigon. Learn More »

Shanghai, China (5 Reviews)

Shanghai's reputation as a center of unrestrained commerce and intrigue has drawn adventures since the time of the Opium Wars. Modern Shanghai will surprise you with its sprawling landscape of towering offices, beautifully contrasted by calm lakes and graceful pagodas dating from the 10th century. Take a trip to Wuxi and visit a silk factory, or serene Jichang Gardens. Learn More »

Rotterdam, Netherlands (4 Reviews)

One of the largest and most modern ports in the world, Rotterdam is the major foreign-trade center of the Netherlands and its second largest city. Among the noteworthy buildings that survived the German air bombardment of 1940 were the stock exchange, the city hall, and the Van Beuningen Museum, with its collection of paintings by Dutch masters.
