River Cruises - All Cruise Reviews

This was my first river boat cruise and it exceeded my expectations. I think, waterways is a great value. All travel connections went smoothly. We loved the staff and made friends with them. Stephanie Peters was a wonderful, enthusiastic tour director. Elvis in the dining room was outstanding and Costa the waiter was the best

Now on my fourth Viking Christmas cruise and this was the most enjoyable of all. From booking to excursions I have witnessed nothing but improvement from Viking since 2010.

Definitely recommend extra days in Budapest and Prague. Both great cities with great people. Tours are early but well managed. They could improve the information on tour departures. Generally the were 5-10 minutes earlier than the written material stated. One tour did not include the organ concert as stated in the tour description.

This was an excellent cruise. Be prepared to relax and enjoy the quaint essence of each port.

Our cruise manager, Camille was absolutely fabulous. Friendly, organized and fun, all of the people in my party loved her!

The staff, especially the food service and room service were excellent! The Salzburg and Abbey tours were outstanding.

Everything was top shelf from the food to the service. However, one person was truly outstanding for her service and dedication and that was MIA who was in charge of the tours. She went the extra mile for everyone always putting safety first. She also dealt with a few obnoxious Passengers in the most professional manner that I have ever witnessed. Viking tours is most fortunate to have an employee like her!

Overall we rate Viking, Crusiesonly, and Wendi Kaye top notch and together made our trip very enjoyable and fun.

The land extension offered in conjunction with the cruise was very good. The Sofitel hotels are luxurious. However, the design of the ship did not match that level of luxury, The river boat was lacked any luxury design. Asian design is quite exotic, and the ship lacked it.

We did 2 days pre in Berlin . Then Elbe cruise . And 5 days in Berlin

Another great Viking cruise. The staff make sure every detail is taken care of so you can enjoy every minute of your trip.

The Ama Bordeaux cruise was ideal if you like wine and are interested in seeing the Bordeaux region. We did not do a wine themed/sponsored sailing and we were fine with that, as we wanted to drink the wine of the region. Others have mentioned, that this cruise does not do a lot of sailing, as the region is a smaller distance compared to other cruises. We were perfectly fine with this. We cannot say enough about the Ama team: Melissa our cruise manager, captain Tony, Rosaline our hotel manager, our bartender friends: Alex, Kameliya, and Paula (we love all of you), and everyone else doing amazing things: Chef Silviu, Maitre D Alex, Purser Deyan, Mihaela the 1st housekeeper and poor Erni our wellness host who probably didn't get as much business due to the rainy weather during our cruise. As typical with Ama there are several choices for port of call excursions and Ama does a great job helping you to fit in as much as possible. The Illuminations sail was also wonderful way to end the week. We really had so much fun. We added the post cruise in the Loire Valley and it was definitely worth it, as that is a beautiful region and we stayed in an amazing chateaux!

Overall ... great cruise ... excellent crew, staff, and director ... couldn't ask for anything else

We had a wonderful time! Have already booked another cruise for 2021. The crew and food was superb!

We had a wonderful time and met some new friends who we hope to travel with again

Grand European River Cruise...from Budapest to Amsterdam...17 days...a perfect balance of river cruising, church and castle enrichment, fabulous food and drink tasting, and overall seeing the heart of Europe. Danube, Main, connecting canal, and the Rhine Rivers...all in one cruise. Highly Recommended!

Have been very pleased with the Viking experience, it's all about the destination. All tour guides are knowledgeable and provides lots of information. Food and restaurant staff are excellent! Enjoy the "smaller" feel of a river cruise.

Beautiful ship with excellent food and service. No passenger issues. Great stops with excellent tour guides.

It was perfect from start to finish. We don't have a single negative thing to say. Viking exceeded our expectations.

The cruise was excellent. The crew was awesome. Raquel as a tour director was incredible.Guides and drivers, excellent. A great experience. We are not new in cruises: it was our 12th. And we can rate this one in the top 3 we had so far.
