Customer Reviews
- Jennifer· June 13th, 2024Our Rhine Getaway cruise was impacted by the flooding on the Rhine River, but the Viking team went out of their way to make our holiday the best that it could be under the circumstances, and we had a marvelous time. In fact, we have already booked another Viking cruise for 2025. We had the cheapest cabin option but there was nothing cheap about it. It was lovely and the cleaning crew were in there twice a day keeping it spotless. The food on board was incredible. I have never been so well fed. The staff were all cheerful and friendly and they worked very hard to make us all happy. Billy, our cruise director had a massive task presented by the flooding. He had to transfer all the guests from the Alruna to the Tialfi which involved a bus trip from Koblenz to Breisach. He travelled with us and made sure that it all went smoothly, then he remained on the Tialfi until the end of the cruise. He arranged busses to take us to the excursions that we were supposed to go to on the cruise and came along each time. On top of all that he had to deal with the guests some of which were not easy, but he remained calm and collected throughout. So top marks to Billy for a difficult job well done. The team on board the Tialfi did a great job of making us feel better about our altered itinerary. When we arrived from the Alruna they served mocktails at the door and had put a welcome card and bag of chocolates in every cabin. Every time we came back from one of our bus excursions, they would be waiting with either mocktails or macarons. Viking are simply amazing, and I am recommending them to all my friends.Show more
- Cheryl· April 9th, 2024This was our first Viking cruise and loved the River Cruise as there are less than 200 guests on board. The staff were friendly and very professional, the food was amazing and the Tours each day were special. Met some other guests on board who made it a fun experience - lots of laughs.Show more
- Yasmine· February 8th, 2023Absolutely fabulous - best experience of my life! First time overseas and went with my 90 year old grandpa who also had a “better than five star” experience. The crew were all beautifully lovely people whom you could tell enjoyed being there, and every stop was stunning. Just booked our next cruise for August/September and we can’t wait!Show more

Asked on June 18th, 2022Is it possible to just do the cruise from Trier to Bamberg?
- Viking CruisesOperator•Written June 2022
It's usually no problem to embark late or disembark early but it must always be approved by the operator, of course, and may not be available at all docking locations. However, please note, the operator's do not offer any discounts in these cases and the full rate for the full cruise would still be applicable.

On the 12 day version of this trip they have a land tour portion on top of the 8 days on the cruise that sees you in Paris for the first 2 nights and then Prague on the last 2 to make this a 12 day trip.
