2023Loved everything.
What an amazing trip! We spent two days in Prague (pre) and two days in Paris (post). Loved everything about the staff, ship, food, sights, and hotels. Our program director, the captain, the manager, wait staff, cleaning staff all treated us like we were the only ones aboard. Made lots of new friends onboard and laughed and danced every day. This was our second time on a Viking Cruise and neither one disappointed. Already, talking about our next adventure on Viking. Thank you Viking for a memorable vacation!

2021We felt more than safe.
We sailed Paris to Prague! Viking you are Champs in our book! Everyone asked us all the time - will you feel safe? Well, Viking made us feel more than safe - from the moment we landed in Paris - every day on the boat or bus - on the tours - venturing through multiple countries -- absolutely every place we were! Viking made certain every person was vaccinated, tested (every day) & always masked! The staff was all so welcoming & delighted to be working.

2018Thank you for making our anniversary memorable.
My husband and I were planning a trip to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary and we decided it was time to indulge ourselves. So we chose the Viking river cruise, Cities of Light. What a wonderful, life-changing experience. Everything was perfect and the food was so impressive every time. On our actual anniversary day the staff provided a wonderful dessert just for us and sang. Very special. Thank you for being so organized, providing personal attention and making our anniversary so memorable.

2017The percision of a finely tuned swiss watch.
On a scale of 1 to 10, this experience is an 11 or 12. The Cruise Director was marvelous—always helping guests every moment... Every tour was fascinating and well-organized. Pick-ups at Prague airport and drop-offs at Paris airport ran with the precision of a finely tuned Swiss watch. The ship and all coach buses were immaculately clean. All tours started on time. Food was delicious throughout the cruise. The most marvelous innovation was in Heidelberg: after a morning tour of the "must-sees," the tour arranged a marvelous lunch in a downtown restaurant with a German university student recruited to be the "host" of each table; we plied him or her (it was a "he" at my table) with questions on the German university experience, career possibilities, etc.

2016It was a grand trip.
We are so impressed with Viking and the efficient way they operate. The ship’s staff was really wonderful—friendly and responsive. Every excursion was a delight. Wish we'd booked a longer stay in Prague...Loved the city and the hotel. The local guides along the way ranged from good to unbelievably fabulous! We loved how things ran on time. All in all, it was a grand trip and we can't wait to go on another cruise with Viking.

2018Meals well prepared, friendly staff.
This cruise was fantastic... Our guides were well informed and shared local knowledge of the areas we visited. It was a well organized cruise with a lot of good information each day. The meals were well prepared and served by friendly staff. We enjoyed the fact that we could sit with different people for each meal... We will definitely recommend this cruise and look forward to taking another Viking cruise in the near future.

2016Viking gets it right.
Viking’s service made this cruise and trip effortless. Five-star service and food. We wished we had more time at each location. Would book Viking again. Very easy to get around and they provided headsets for the entire trip. Viking gets it right.

2015This beats them all.
“Superb” does not fully describe our time with Viking. This company has the very pulse of cruising. Great ships, wonderful meals and lovely cities with knowledgeable and humorous tour guides; fantastic service. Exceptional. Luxurious. We have cruised the oceans, but this beats them all. You just have to experience it to believe it.

2016Top-notch level.
This trip was better than I ever expected. Beautiful cities. Everything was done at a top-notch level. Best staff of any cruise we have taken; always smiling. When staff is humming doing their job, it means they are happy!

2015Thoroughly enjoyed frist river cruise.
This was our first river cruise and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The thoughtful, efficient staff made us feel pampered, and the activities and guided tours were well planned and interesting. There was so much to see, but you can do as little or as much as you want. We particularly liked seeing the castles on the Middle Rhine and the visit to Lobkowicz Palace in Prague. We recommend this cruise.

2013Bye, bye, bus tours!
This was our first Viking Cruise, and we had a fantastic experience. The crew was great and satisfied our every need. The food was delicious and daily excursions were well thought out and interesting, to say the least. Viking tours get you into the heart of cities and towns you are visiting so you can enjoy the local food and culture. Signing up for our next one. . . . Bye, bye, bus tours!

2013Excellent to say the least.
Ship and crew, excellent to say the least! Smooth sailing and informative stops all the way. Food was excellent, efficient, well-prepared. This was my wife’s first trip to Germany, France and the Czech Republic and I had not been back to Germany in 40 years. I am totally sold on Viking and I can see why they receive such excellent ratings; everything is smooth and perfect.

2012Exciting and educational.
We just returned from our Paris to Prague trip on Viking. The voyage was exciting and educational and the company is very professional, with knowledgeable guides at every destination. We particularly enjoyed the additional tour of Lobkowicz Palace in Prague and the excellent tour guide we had. The Viking team was present throughout the journey with efficiency and punctuality in all venues. The ship was comfortable, smooth and quiet, and the fellow passengers were convivial and entertaining. We recommend this cruise and this company very highly. The tours were challenging though we were glad that we could keep up with the group. We were very lucky to have taken this journey and we learned a lot about places we had never visited before.

2012The best with Viking.
This was my second Viking River Cruises itinerary, having done Passage to Eastern Europe last year. My travel friend and I are absolutely sold on Viking River Cruises and think they are the best vacation available. Cities of Light allowed us to return to Prague (we were there last year prior to our cruise) and we got to see all the places that we did not see last year. Then the cruise was so well-planned. All the food, accommodations, crew, tours, etc. were the best. I wish we had traveled through the beautiful Middle Rhine area during the afternoon; we sailed there in the morning and the fog was very thick which greatly diminished our ability to view the castles. Other than that I have NO complaints. Paris was…well, how else can Paris be but FABULOUS! We have already booked our next Viking cruise for next March: we are doing Tulips and Windmills on the same ship, Viking Sky! Hopefully we’ll get to see some of the same wonderful crew. Thanks, Viking!

2011Fantastic trip!
Fantastic trip! My husband and I and two other couples thoroughly enjoyed our Cities of Light trip last summer. Everything was wonderful and the staff should be commended. We are currently planning our next Viking trip with our friends. I highly recommend Viking cruises. It is the best way to travel!

2011First class all the way.
The Eiffel Tower, the Charles Bridge, and all the castles. It was hard to believe we were really seeing Prague, Paris, the Rhine and the Moselle, but it was all captured on my camera. Viking River Cruises is first class all the way. Great food, great crew, great everything! This was our first river cruise and we have already booked another one.

2008What a wonderful trip
Just wanted to tell you what a wonderful trip my daughter and I had sailing from Paris to Prague on Viking Fontane. The captain and crew were superb! The tour guides in all the towns were excellent. It is my hope to travel with Viking sometime again in the future.
