River Cruises - Europe Cruise Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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

Loved this taste of different cities on the Danube. A great teaser and I hope that I get to visit some of these place. A great way to get a little view of different places and decide whether or not to come back.

great cruise and ports of call. Staff provided out standing service and were very friendly. Cruise director Stephen went out of his way to take care of my personal situation.

Since all of my photos are on my Cell Phone, and if I download them to put on this review, I will have to start all over again. Suffice it to say, this trip was all that we expected and more. If we were getting younger instead of older, I think we would do another one somewhere.

This was our first river cruise... such a wonderful experience! We loved seeing the same people every day and the smaller intimate ship. The ports were nice. Every one of the staff members were so pleasant and friendly. Thanks for the memories!!

This was our first trip to Europe and we wanted to do something special and Viking was the perfect way to accomplish this. The experienced staff, excursions that where 1st class all the way along with the food, shopping and local culture was an experience we could not had done on our own.

GREAT CRUISE!!! My only complaint is that the sun deck was closed for five days due to traveling through the various locks. I know that is unavoidable, but I think it should be explained a head of time. Otherwise, a fabulous experience!!

This was our first river cruise, great way to tour Europe.We found the service not to be on par with ocean cruises probably due to much smaller staff.

This was our first river cruise and we are hooked!  The size of the ship, the friendliness of the staff, the personal service, being able to get up close to towns and their history, the fabulous food, being free to enjoy the vacation in any way we desired... a marvelous, magical experience. 

Ports visited were very good.  Food and portion sizes were also very good.  The price of cocktails also represented a good value.  Excursions can be informative, but sometimes guides are hard to understand.  It's also difficult to follow the tours when there are several other tours happening at the same time.  Some places (

Giverny) were just too crowded.
