Viking River Cruise Amsterdam to Budapest

May

Pros: Everything about the ship and the trip exceeded our expectations.

Cons: None

Recommended: Yes

We took this trip to celebrate our 50th anniversary. Everything regarding Viking exceeded our expectations. From when we were met at the airport in Amsterdam to being escorted to the ticket counter in Budapest, Viking did an excellent job. We would recommend Viking for anyone taking a river cruise.

Grand Européen Tour

July

Pros: The crew and ship were great!

Cons: Many of the passengers came down with cough and colds.

Recommended: Yes

We had a great time and 18 days was probably too long for us. The daily walks around each city were very educational and the optional excursions we signed up for were well worth it. We also passed thru 70+ locks which was a real experience.

Grand European tour

Staff was top tier! They went out of their way to make sure all of your needs were met...and then some.

First River Cruise

June

Pros: Clean, friendly, friendly employees throughout, well organized, professional

Cons: No place for doing own laundry; getting laundry done expensive

We had a wonderful experience. Our only glitch was our return home plane left Amsterdam an hour late, causing us to miss our connecting flight from Mpls. to Rochester, MN.

Trip of a lifetime

May

Pros: Very well organized and accommodating

Cons: The moderate walking excursions were a little too demanding for people with mobility issues.

Recommended: Yes

The cruise was wonderful. I had a problem with a couple of excursions with the guides going too fast for people with walking issues. We did sign up for the easy walk which was better.
