Our 1st Viking experience and it far exceeded our expectations. The service was excellent. Excursions were well thought out and descriptions of what to expect on excursions was accurate. Food was exceptional. Our program director, Rene, was outstanding. Scenery especially castle section of the Rhine was gorgeous. Would highly recommend this cruise to others
Pros: Relaxed cruising, excellent service
Cons: a little more time on some excursions would have been nice

We had such a wonderful time on our Viking trip!!! Yes, we will travel with Viking again, they have been fantastic, Covid cancelled our original cruise in 2020, so we were really looking forward to our cruise, and we were not disappointed!!! Thank you Viking for helping us celebrate our 50th anniversary in such style and grace!!
Pros: Liz from Viking met us at the airport in Amsterdam, The Pestana hotel in Amsterdam, Abby the Viking Rep at the hotel, Rene: Cruise Director, the well planned shore excursions, the flight arrangements and of course ALL of the staff on the ship!!!
Cons:

The maiden voyage of the Sigrun was exceptional! Meals were wonderful, and timing of courses improved as the week went on. I loved the fact that the Captain and Chef interacted daily with the passengers. The included excursions were informative, with engaging guides. I highly recommend Viking river cruises!
Pros: Attentive staff, wonderful food, comfy stateroom
Cons: A bit of a lag in dinner service

The crew were attentive and professional. Our cabin attendant was wonderful! Ship was nicely decorated and clean. Wish they had a small convenience store for things like over the counter medicine, or small things that guests forgot to pack and could purchase. A bus tour of city center of old Amsterdam before departing would have been nice because otherwise you see nothing if Amsterdam except for where ship is parked. Also there are no excursions in Basel, Switzerland. You must leave ship in early hours to make your flight.
Pros: Clean ship, cabins kept cleam, staff professional and friendly. Food and drinks were very good. COVID tests available at reception desk for free but only if you asked for one. Ship brought in two musician groups during the 7 nights on ship. Piano player who also sang the rest of the time. Nice outdoor furniture provided. Plenty lounge chairs on sundeck provided.
Cons: No COVID protocols in place except for Viking Staff were instructed to wear masks at all times. No warnings given to guests that some passengers had been isolated due to COVID positive tests. Piano player
