2021SUPERB TREATMENT
This was our 7th Viking Cruise. The Helgrim might be a smaller ship but the service was not economised. All of the crew made our trip enjoyable. We expect superb treatment and were not disappointed. Well done to all.

2019WHAT A MEMORABLE TRIP
A truly “golden” adventure. My sister and I took our first Viking cruise on the Passage to Eastern Europe and had been impressed with Viking’s service. For years, I’d wanted to explore the Douro River of Portugal, being interested in “roads”—or in this case, rivers—less traveled. This trip exceeded my expectations and proved without any doubt that Viking’s attention to service and to hiring a real “team” of happy crew members pays off for everyone on board. Not only were the excursions—both included and optional—excellent, as was the cuisine, but the camaraderie among the staff was obvious. What a memorable trip! Hopefully, every other passenger on this trip in the future will experience the beauty and history that the Douro River affords as well as Viking’s delightful and personal service.

2018CANNOT FIND ONE SINGLE NEGATIVE
After our first Viking river cruise in 2016, we made a toast with friends we met on board to book the Douro River in 2018. We cannot say enough about how great both trips were. The staff, the food and accommodations are 10+ stars, the ports and local guides so interesting and varied in all aspects of local life. We love that we have structured tours yet plenty of free time to explore on our own... We cannot find one single negative about the entire Viking experience. The best endorsement I can give is that both us and our new/old friends just booked the Danube for 2020. Thank you Viking family!

2017ENTIRE TRIP WAS MAGNIFICENT
Our second Viking cruise, as we had done Bordeaux first. The entire trip, from our pre-extension in Madrid, flight to Lisbon for two nights then on to Porto to board the ship for seven beautiful nights was magnificent. The beauty of the architecture, the sweeping vistas along the Douro River and the Portuguese people were all outstanding. The staff each caring, incredibly knowledgeable and lots of fun too! Our favorite cruise. Hope to return soon.

2014WE LOVED THE SHIP
This is our second Viking cruise, and we were blown away by the beauty. The hillside vineyards were postcard perfect. We loved the ship and its size. The staff was amazing, so friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend this cruise.

2013A SPECIAL TOUR
This was our second Viking tour; the first, Portraits of Southern France, was superb. We learned a lot about Portugal thanks to our wonderful guide, loved the views on the river, and appreciated the cities and vineyards we visited. Viking does a good job on so many levels: cleanliness, helpfulness, and making your tour special.
