Viking River Cruises Cruise Reviews (2024 UPDATED): Ratings of River Cruises Cruise Viking Cruises (2024)

4.5

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! Doesn’t get any better! Viking does such a wonderful job keeping you entertained with a ton of fun expeditions. Dining is fantastic with food from the regions that you are currently visiting. Cabins are very

We had a wonderful experience overall. The ship was great, our cabin very comfortable and clean, the service outstanding. Loved the cities we visited, the excursions were well planned, the tour guides were very informative, our Program Manager, Jamie, was the best, keeping everything in order and everyone well informed. The food onboard was very good and tasty and the service was great. We had

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

The Program Director Jamie was absolutely fabulous, he made the cruise so much fun. The food was very good, the servers Galina and Dennis were so attentive to us at meal times. Our Cabin host Lorenzo really did a great job. Looking to go on a Viking Ocean Cruise next year. The tours were for the most part really good, however the last tour took us over 9 hours to get to Paris via bus with two

The Grand European Tour was amazing. I would give it a rating of 10 on a scale of 0 to 10. We did an extension to Prague, which was still an amazing trip but the thing that really made the tour very worrisome and will question our next trips with Viking was the lack of communication and knowledge of the Viking personnel regarding our flight back to the US. we were notified by the airline that our

Think of a Viking cruise as the experience of a lifetime because it will fulfill that expectation. While the historic and beautiful cities one visits are breathtaking and unforgettable, so too is the onboard experience. The chef prepared meals, top shelf bar, and all of the facilities are truly excellent., but to me it is the Viking onboard staff who set them apart. It really is impossible to

This was my 8th Viking River cruise so I am a loyal customer. The ship was lovely. We were upgraded from a 1 st floor window room to a French balcony. The food was good and plentiful but not exceptional. The wines were all German. It would have been nice to try some local wines. We did purchase one and bring on board once. The dining staff service was uneven. (Sometimes slow, sometimes fine. We
