This was my first Viking Cruise. I heard nothing but great reviews from friends who have cruised before. My Viking Represenative, Lisa Chase, wlked us through every step. She was in constant contact with us, handling every question and concern we might have had. She even checked to that if we were planning another curise after we return we needed to get our passport renewed.There is nothing

This is definitely the best way to see several cities in a shorter period of time (without packing and unpacking). I personally would prefer to spend more time exploring each port on my own in order to get a feel for each town. The servers and cabin attendants were fantastic. One HUGE negative was the total miscommunication of where the ship was docked for embarkation. That really put a negative

This was our first river cruise and first cruise with Viking. We were impressed with the staff, service, itinerary, guides, and food service. The staff was friendly, professional, and attentive without being overbearing. Chris Smith, our program director, was excellent in providing updates, changes, and daily schedules. Transportation to and from the airport was efficient and timely making the

This trip was our first to Europe, but also our honeymoon. What a great way to see so many cities while being completely comfortable and not sitting in a car for hours. The boat was beautiful and clean with lots of open spaces. The staff always wore a smile and were happy to help. The meals were delicious. The program director did an amazing job ensuring everything went off without a hitch

Was such a great experience that I just hope most people can have the same opportunity to experience once in a lifetime. I would like to personally thank Elizabeth and our waiter Stelian!

I enjoyed the casual dining atmosphere. It was so nice to join other guests that you may or may not know. It created the opportunity to make new

We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise on the Kari. The staff were all friendly and made every effort to please. The food and wine were great and there was plenty of it. An extensive breakfast buffet was available daily, or we could order from the menu. Lunch and dinner were order from the menu and it was possible to dine outdoors at tables on the bow in good weather. Our stateroom was clean and

Enticed by a wraparound balcony master suite at the stern of the ship, we booked a 7 night cruise with friends from Lyon to Avignon. Thanks to the company of said friends, we had a good time, but my goodness, were there issues. Obviously, being a cruise of any description means that food quality is only ever going to be so-so. And so it proved, very average quality ingredients not
