I really enjoyed the river cruise and the Viking experience. The food was delicious and the staff were very supportive.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Very painless. The Viking representative met us at the Budapest airport and within 30 minutes we were on the way to the ship.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We had most of our meals on the Terrace, which was very comfortable. Breakfasts in the main restaurant were fine, just that service was a bit slow.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Besides the nightly cocktails and music, the Game of the Century conducted by Carl was a lot of fun.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Sabine was the piano player every night, and was really fun. We also had a Franconian trio and a classical singer and French horn (I think) player that were good, and the Glass Blowing exhibition was great!
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Anthony, Jason, Ruslin, and Catalin did a great job. My cabin steward, Adrian, was also great. My only complaint was that the bar's stocking of whiskey was poor. The had a half bottle of Macallan when we sailed, and didn't have any more after the second night. Pretty much the same with each whiskey.
Ship Quality

Yes
Cabin / Stateroom

Really small, but enough room to clean up, dress, and sleep.
Ship tip
Actually, it was changed to Gymir at the last minute, but the only advice I would give is to enjoy the ship.
Beautiful city. We did excursions in the morning and walked around town in the afternoon. Saw several churches and the palaces. I would like to go back and spend 4-5 days in Vienna.
