Viking Heimdal Cruise Reviews - Reviews

It was the least enjoyable river cruise that we have taken. But we are booked for another one in October and we will see how it goes. We are planning to take a Viking Ocean Cruise in 2025. One last thing. I booked my flights through Viking and somehow I never got the seats I picked. On this cruise I tried calling , Viking and was assured of my seats and that did not happen.

Lovely itinerary along the Rhone. The larger towns and city (Avignon, Arles, Lyon) were of more interest and provided quality local guides. Disappointment with day tour to Ardeche in terms of small-town visit. The excursion to Beaujolais was very disappointing. The chateau on our tour was run down and wines were poor quality compared to some other passengers' experience. I found this with their Bordeaux trip as well. Viking needs to do better quality control to ensure that all passengers are having the same quality experience. That said, I would recommend this cruise and will travel Viking again but feel they have lost some of their quality perhaps as a result of its expansion to ocean and expedition cruises.

Very nice fall cruise. Always love going to France.

Maybe Vikings can have better included excursions since there were many historical sites and sceneries, but they were all “optional” excursions. This was an expensive cruise, better designed and included excursions would make us feel more deserve and rewarding.

Over all it was a wonderful experience. The few glitches we encountered were resolved for the most part. We really enjoyed the ship. Couldn't have had better service and food. We did have the add on of 3 nights in Paris. The city tour was good. Spend a lot of time in Notre Dame, which was good. Would have liked to go through Montmartre, though. Would have liked a photo stop in front of the Louvre and Arch d'triumph.

The ports of call and sights to be seen along the way are outstanding. Viking does a very good job of organizing the tours and content. Food is very good, not great. Service is outstanding.

This Viking cruise was our first river cruise. We can’t wait to do another. The ports were great. It was very relaxing. The food, staff and the clientele were great.

No complaints.  The staff was exceptional.  Our dinner waiters Akos, Dennis & Gary took such great care of us for all our meals.  Pascal the chef was amazing and our cruise director JP was fun, fun, fun !!!!!

The ship was beautiful and although the rooms were a bit small, the was plenty of room and was comfortable.

I would definitely travel with Viking again.
