2018Staff was wonderful
This was a special trip for Karen and I as we celebrated our anniversary. The cruise was amazing and we were kept busy with informative tours. Our staff was wonderful. Our Cruise Director provided sparkling wine in our stateroom and on the day of our anniversary made a special trip to a florist while in port at my request and had roses delivered to our stateroom. Thanks Viking!

2017I was greatly impressed.
Everything was wonderful... I was greatly impressed from the time we boarded until we left the ship. All staff friendly and accommodating... The tour guides were all knowledgeable, obviously chosen with care. I have nothing but positive thoughts about the whole experience.

2024Well done Viking!
As our first river cruise with Viking we were surprised that all the friends we made were on anywhere from their 4th to 7th cruise with Viking. Now we understand why. Our ships were immaculate. Extremely well maintained, and the staff—from the Captain down to the last mate—was nothing short of amazing. The food was dangerously tasty. We truly enjoyed our Berlin land extension and plan to go back for a visit next year to spend more time in that great city. Shore excursions were fun, informative and memorable. We made several new friends that we intend to stay in touch with and hope to cruise with them again. Well done Viking! Special thanks to our Program Director, Alan C. What a wonderful guy.

We loved this cruise. The staff was exceptional. They were so friendly and interacted with guests exceptionally. The food was really delicious. The Captain was great and there were no problems. The guides were very organized and they were so informative. This was our third cruise and we are planning our next. It's so fun meeting all the guests from so many places. We know why Viking is #1! Thanks for a wonderful trip!

2021Thank you to all the crew!
Viking did an amazing job coordinating shuttles from airport to hotel, hotel to boat. Tour guides were knowledgeable and friendly. Food on board was fantastic. We enjoyed onboard explanations of upcoming tours and the evening entertainment. Prague is a mystical city and one of our favorites. We cannot say enough about our chef. The menus were perfect with local dishes included. They were wonderful after all the walking tours. We got in our steps and enjoyed dessert! Thank you to all the crew! We are looking forward to our next Viking cruise! Thank you!

2015Easy to see why Viking is No. 1
Viking really did an outstanding job. The Elbe River is beautiful . . . lots of interesting sights along the way; all of the stops were top-notch. With only 70 passengers and a crew of 24—a wonderful Program Director, Captain, Maître D’—we were pampered every day. The other passengers were very nice and easy to converse with. Loved this trip! We have already signed up for our third cruise with Viking. Easy to see why they were voted No. 1!

2011A wonderful time.
We have just returned from Elegant Elbe, Berlin to Prague. We traveled with two close friends of ours and had a wonderful time. The food was excellent; the staff was friendly and went out of their way to make our trip enjoyable. The many extras made the whole experience memorable (wine with dinner, planned excursions with buses at every stop at no extra charge, clean and comfortable rooms, a large bottle of water in our room every day, entertainment almost nightly). We spent several days in Berlin before the cruise and several days in Prague after the cruise; we highly recommend this extra time. We plan to do another cruise next year.

2011The tours were outstanding.
The Elbe has no locks, so the cruising and even the engines were silent. Wittenberg, home of Martin Luther, was extremely interesting. The tours were outstanding. Dresden is a jewel, as is Prague. Our mistake was we did not extend in Berlin. We have been on more than 20 cruises including five river cruises, and Viking is the best value, all things considered.

2010We will recommend this trip to others.
My wife and I recently returned from our Elegant Elbe cruise and truly enjoyed this trip. We met interesting people, saw new sights, ate great food and relaxed on the sun deck while cruising. Nothing is wrong with that! And that means we will recommend this trip to others.

2010The right travel choice for us.
We returned from our Elegant Elbe Viking Cruise exhausted, happy and extremely proud of Viking. This was our eighth cruise with Viking and it reaffirmed our belief that Viking was the right travel choice for us. The guests were very experienced travelers and that helped make the timing of the events work well with the Program Director’s superb organization.

2009What a marvelous experience.
We’ve been back from our trip for about a month and still can’t believe what a marvelous experience we had. Viking’s Elegant Elbe exceeded all our expectations. We are looking forward to our next Viking cruise, hopefully in 2010!

2009A delightful trip.
I sailed on Viking Schumann between Berlin and Prague, your Elegant Elbe itinerary. It was a delightful trip due in large part to our Program Director. He was knowledgeable, patient and engaging. Viking is fortunate to have such a stellar employee on a staff of that caliber!

2008Superior quality of service.
I enjoyed the cruise and would like to comment on the service provided by the staff members. I would like to commend them on the superior quality of service they provided. It will influence my decision when I choose my next vacation.
