River Cruises - All Cruise Reviews

It was a trip of a lifetime and highly recommend the Viking Modi. The cruise director Elena was marvelous and did a great job keeping us entertained.

Our Cruise Manager, Henry was outstanding! He was there every step of the way and available to assist in any way possible. Henry was perfect and, a great asset to AMA! We have been on large ship cruises in the past but enjoy river cruising much more because it is just more intimate and enjoyable with fewer people! You feel like you are getting greater attention from everyone (wait staff, front desk, Captain, etc.! Additionally, the small tour groups in each port is an excellent way to learn about the history. All of our tour guides were very informative and knowledgeable! Also, kudos to Captain Jack (not correct spelling) as he was very personable and visible! Receiving a post card thanking us for traveling on the AmaMora was a nice touch!

If someone wants to flavor the Swiss chocolate, the German strudel, the French escargot, the Pays Bass stroopwafels, enjoy the view of the castles from the ship, visit the marvelous medieval cathedrals, eat good food (drinks are a personal option), this is the cruise to enjoy.

If we were to do another River cruise, without a doubt we would go with Ama Waterways, we had a wonderful experience. Service, cleanliness, food....outstanding.

All was excellent except for dinner meals which were not a 5-star. Highlights of cruise should include excellent dinners. In no way was this so. Very disappointing…May or may not cruise w/Viking again.

it is the type over cursing that we love, meeting new people for breakfast, lunch and dinner, that is hard to do in an ocean cruise. It seems even on the tours we know someone that we had met at dinner. We will cruise again, but probably not for a few years.

Nothing could have made this trip any better. Viking has thought of everything!

I'm glad I did a river cruise, don't know I'd go again. If you are someone who likes to see and do a lot, like us, I would rather rent a car and stay in one place and be able to eat when I want, not be time pressured to get on the boat. Additional excursions were $$$. But if you want everything done for you and mot want to think about transportation, etc. the cruise is a good option.

I wanted to love this cruise but it was just fair. There was not enough to do and the food could have been better. The staff was great and that was a plus.

I didn't comment on each port because each was wonderful with many new experiences & different cultures than we have experienced before. You also learn about the history & present day life in each area. We did the pre in Ha Long Bay & post in Bangkok & both were excellent. Our tour guide Tony was awesome, intelligent, caring & really gave us quality information about his country. The local guides in Cambodia & Thailand were also excellent. All the local people we met were vey friendly & eager to offer help if we needed it. Everything about this vacation was perfect. I would do this cruise again if I ever can find the time which could be difficult because of my age & tours/cruises backed up by COVID. DO IT if you get the chance.

The ship and crew exceeded expectations from the moment we landed in Paris until the moment we left recommend you participate in as many activities as you can because it just enhances your experience

Overall, it was a great experience, but not sure I would do another river cruise. Would be difficult if you are solo as not a lot of ways to meet fellow travelers or find experiences for one person.

It was an awesome whirlwind and bucket list worthy trip. Blessed to have been able to do it. You have to keep a journal of sorts to remember it all.

Great experience, the crew on the ship were great. Flights booked by Viking could have been better.

Very new boat and crew, servers still practicing but are positive minded, and there are still growing pains.

There were so many things wrong. I can’t list them all.

Overall, this was a once-in-a lifetime experience for us. Highly recommend Viking riverboat cruises. Can't say enough about their organization, the itinerary, tours, crew and staff, from the time we departed our plane to when we walked to our airport gate departing. Was really neat to meet/interact w the officers. Exhausting but worth it!!!

A nice cruise and worked well for multiple family members in different cabins. Everything was pretty good, very little was great, and little was terrible - with the exception of running aground in the middle of night and spending 13 or so hours on a sandbar missing the next port and seemingly shortening time at the following. Crew did best they could in those circumstances. Truly biggest criticism was lack of flavor in food. Perhaps catering to older clients this is necessary, or perhaps it is just a miss?

Our accommodations on this trip were phenomenal. The beginning of the Cruise actually starts with a three day stay in a luxurious hotel in Cairo. With tours and outings to various museums and the pyramids. What an adventure just traveling the city of Cairo, it’s markets, shops and other wonderful sites. Air transfers from Cairo to Luxor and return were well done. Our whole 14 day experience was once in a lifetime and made so much more enjoyable by our choosing Viking.

This was an exceptional cruise. Much better than we expected. From the home departure airport, through the cruise and return home. A smooth, professional and very comfortable trip. Thank you.
