River Cruises - All Cruise Reviews

I celebrated my 60th birthday with 3 of my Gal Pals. We were called the Texas Group - Boots and all!! Every one was wonderful, food was wonderful. We even had the Hershey Wine company on board.

We booked this cruise almost 2 years ago. It finally arrived this month. From the ease of checking in, our rooms are ready and the food was available for us to eat. The staff in the dining room, the bar and the state room attendants all did an excellent job. Program director Dave it was fabulous. Always available. We can't say enough good things about our Viking River boat cruise. This was our most relaxing vacation ever. Thanks

Loved it and highly recommend. The ship, staff, and tours were all exceptional. The only disappointment was the food in the Main Dining Room. I will definitely consider AmaWaterways for a future cruise!

Unworld provides nice destinations and good service. FOR THE MONEY, they are a disappointing option with regard to food and beverage and some amenities. While their liquor options were good, their wine options are far more limited without upcharge then we were lead to believe. They advertise themselves to be boutique, but I did not feel that way at all.

I would have liked more information about the cruise upfront, before I sailed, so I could make educated decisions.

Outstanding, met or exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend to others to take a Viking River Cruise. We bought Vouchers to be used for a future cruise. The staff was great and met our every need.

In spite of the rain and cold, Viking Cruises, the staff, and tour guides helped us to create memories we cherish and want to share with others. This type of group travel has quickly become one of our favorites and we plan to do more of it and invite even more friends to join us.

Overall I would have to say that we enjoyed our travel upon the Viking Eir as it's a relaxing and slower paced 'cruise' than any we have been on to date. Give Kudos to the entire crew of the EIR as they are very efficient and well trained and attentive to your every need. One suggestion is to upgrade your bed and pillows as ours were not all that comfortable.

A wonderful experience for this 1st time river cruise couple! We've taken several ocean cruises, and although it's different, it was very enjoyable. The tours included in the cruise were interesting and were kept to small groups.

Had a fun time with friends! Food was tasty & fresh, but slow and as time went on, dining ran smoother. Wait staff was attentive but short handed. Purser's desk was well staffed & knowledgeable. Entertainment was good. Ports of call were interesting for the most part. We liked the hop on hop off feature with narration from a guide.

I would not recommend this cruiseline. The staff for all intents and purposes are unprofessional and untrained. The ship is older and not well maintained. It is NOT worth the price they charge.

Great river boat. Food very good. Great service and beautiful vistas. Beautiful part of the world. I loved the cruise extension in Prague. Went on the panoramic Prague tour-best guide the whole week. She gave us an in depth description of Prague through the ages till today while walking the city and what life was like before their independence. She was just knowledgeable about everything we asked.

Great cruise. Viking has truly exceptional service, excellent food and very professional. Included tours were less than what we expected. The optional tours were very good to excellent, except for Munich, which was a terrible tour - not worth 25% of the cost of the tour. Viking handled our transition from one ship to another because of water conditions very efficiently. Almost seemed like we were on the same ship. The upper deck was closed for 5 days, which was unfortunate.

An unforgettable experience! I have made several comments above about tours and ports, as well as the personnel and service. I want to emphasize how impressed I was with Viking staff. My deepest appreciation goes to our Program Director, Radim Wajshajtl for all he did to make sure everything run smoothly and to help solve the many problems passengers had. He was patient, efficient, skillful and always friendly. Viking is lucky to have him!!!

Viking is outstanding as a destination cruise specialist. They are friendly, helpful, and determined to make this your best cruise ever. We will be cruising with them again in the future.

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.

Definitely worth the extensive time required to fly to China. The history, the scenery, the customs, the Viking experience provided many long lasting memories!

Very good experience. Special thanks to Michelle Warnes, our Travel Agent. She was exceptional! Anticipated our every need and met it in advance.

The cruise on the Yangtze was a very nice cruise, although it wasn't until the third day on the ship that we actually started to see some fantastic views on the river. From there on in there were really pretty views from the river, including the Three Gorges and then the Goddess Stream. The tours during the cruising were all very interesting and when we weren't cruising through scenic areas, there were always great presentations on the ship by really knowledgeable staff to pique everyone's interest. This survey only asks about tours while on the ship but it's important to note that once the sailing portion of this trip was over we had several days where we stayed in some wonderful cities and in some beautiful hotels and did tours that were amazing (The Great Wall of China, The Terra Cotta Warriors, Tienanmen Square, The Forbidden City, etc). All of those things, combined with the cruise, made for a great trip.
