Overview

The sights, smells, and sounds of Europe are calling you. They are enticing you to visit, and the best way to get up close and personal with these vistas, landmarks, and palaces is to sail on the rivers aboard the Viking Forseti. This ship offers travelers the opportunity to visit several towns, cities, and countries in Europe without having to figure out the confusing train system. Plus, you’ll only unpack once.

As you travel from port to port aboard the Viking Forseti, you’ll be dining on gourmet foods, learning about the culture of the regions, and taking in the breathtaking views.

I have enjoyed all three of my Viking river trips. This particular staff exceeded the consistently high level of Viking standards. The food was amazing! There were no questions that went without answers, which indicates an excellent staff training program. The personnel were flexible and very aware of your needs before you could even articulate them. The amount of knowledge of the geographical region and the humor and stagecraft of the delivery in the public sessions was awesome. Thank you for another, and possibly the best, cruise.

Pros: Fantastic staff, each and every one! Amazing food!

Cons: Limitations of travel on tidal rivers. A few long walks to coaches from the ship.

This cruise was just perfect. We really enjoyed the quiet cruising down the rivers. There were only 186 people (not including the staff). We were able to become friendly with most. The included outings are very nice and the guides are great. They are very knowledgeable. We must give the staff on the ship the highest ratings, from the cruise director, to the chef, the the housekeepng staff. They were the best.

Pros: The size of the ship and the number of people

Cons:

Loved all aspects of the trip. Bit of advice is that you must enjoy wine to do this area. Not scenic like Danube or Rhine.

Pros: Extraordinary staff, fabulous food,great excursions, good accommodations

Cons: Nothing

Read excursion descriptions carefully and choose time on your own when in doubt. Wine master class, chateaux dinner, and visit to Bordeaux market with Chef were high points.

Pros: Staff and Cleanliness

Cons: Some weak excursions

The cruise was more enjoyable than we anticipated, which is saying something. A great way to celebrate our 49th anniversary.

Pros: The food was incredable and the staff was exceptional. The excursions were great.

Cons: The stateroom was very small, especially the shower.

Staff was the best we have ever encountered. Food and wine were lacking. Ship was perfect. Would have preferred a later dinner seating than 7'pm for everyone.

Pros: Everything but the food and wine was great

Cons: Food and wine
