Nice cruise, but did not live up to our high expectations. by michaelrizklaw

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

Viking, through its advertisements, created high expectations which were not realized. The issues that we had were that the food was bland; not gourmet quality. Not even close. Those who we spoke with fully agreed. However, the service was excellent, and we overall enjoyed the experience. We wouldn't rule out another cruise with Viking now that our expectations are less. Another issue that we had was that when the ship fell behind schedule due to a malfunctioning lock, they decided to make up the time by reducing the time that we had on our excursion to Salzburg by approximately 2 hours, thus limiting our free time in a destination that we paid over $500 for to a mere one hour. We suffered in order for the ship to catch up to their schedule. No apology or even explanation was issued. It seemed like they hoped that we wouldn't notice. The Amsterdam experience was disappointing. We were relegated to a Hotel well outside any central location. And the Walking Tour compounded the problem; only touring sites outside the Old Town.

Wonderful Tulips and Windmills by Cruiser75014731

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Viking Gefjon / Destination: River Cruises - Europe

Tulips and Windmills was all that we hoped. The towns and sights were lovely, the guides were knowledgeable, the history and water management were interesting, the waffles and chocolate were delicious and Viking's ship and staff were excellent. We had a wonderful trip and made some new friends.

Wonderful Viking River Cruise by ericksonlinda15

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Viking Gefjon / Destination: River Cruises - Europe

This was our 4th Viking Cruise. We obviously think highly of them. The service and staff are a step above and the ships are beautiful. We were given voucher bonuses for rescheduling after our initial cruise was cancelled due to the pandemic. It was very generous of Viking to do that and it allowed us to take many optional excursions and fly business class. The port cities on this cruise are so beautiful and the Danube/Main/Rhine canal and locks are interesting to experience. We highly recommend this trip.

Do not do the Munich optional excursion; not worth the $199/person extra. Other optional excursions were very good to excellent. Standard excursions were OK; nothing exceptional

If you book a Veranda or Explorer Suite, laundry is included. The laundry staff do a great job.
