Viking Gefjon

14 Night Grand European Tour Westbound (Budapest To Amsterdam)

Sail date: August 07, 2018

Ship: Viking Gefjon

Cabin type: Oceanview

Cabin number: 123

Review summary

Due to low water level, we ended up in motor coaches, 3 different ships, having to pack and unpack. Viking's air reservation had our arrival basically enough time to get to the ship and too tired to leave the ship to enjoy Budapest port and 11am air departure did not enable a visit the last port, amsterdam. The optional tours were more expensive than the larger ocean cruises. The best part of all the changes was staying at the Sheraton at the amsterdam airport.
