Pretty Good by mulkeylaura8

Ship: Viking Embla

I sound critical but all in all was good. I was just expecting more based on hype and advertising.

it was our second river cruise on Viking finishing the second half, you will always compare it to the first which is hard to do, both cruises were excellent overall.

Blue Danube by Cruiser74351010

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Viking Embla

This was supposed to be our first Viking River cruise in 2019 but got cancelled due to COVID. We're very happy to finally do this trip. It did not disappoint. The Lipizzaner Stable tour in Vienna was fantastic.

10 Viking Embla tips

Our cabin had a veranda. We enjoyed it on the days when we were back to the room before nighttime collapsed the day, and when the weather was warm and sunny. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom adequate. No in room coffee- but, you don't have to go far to get your morning cup!

The Viking Embla was a newer, modern ship. We loved he idea of the veranda, but we didn't really use it much because of the locks and cool weather. I feel that a French Balcony would have been fine also because you still have the large sliding glass doors which open to the outside.

The staff were fabulous! The coffee bars were wonderful! Those wasabi covered nuts were delicious! I loved the way someone greeted you each time you returned from a tour. My tip...just enjoy!
