Viking Egil

Overall Great but !!!!

August

Pros: Extremely good crew, comfortable stateroom

Cons: Only 1 really - espresso had to be paid for like expensive alcohol!

Recommended: Yes

Couldn't believe I was in Europe on a European ship and I had to pay $3 a pop to drink an Espresso at breakfast or any other time.....really ticked me off and will probably cause me to pick a different cruise line next time. Not a big DEAL but the annoyance factor was off the chart considering the price of the trip & accommodations. don't get it!!!

Romantic Danube on Viking Egil

July

Pros: Super service, great food, nice size ship

Cons:

Recommended: Yes

We enjoyed a delightful week aboard the Viking Egil. Oliver, the grand master of ceremonies, did a great job keeping us informed and entertained. It was so nice to be able to be nearby the towns and cities we visited, reducing travel time, and the excursions were interesting and fun, especially the Nuremburg War Trial/Nazi overview, the two Abbey's and the Mozart/Strauss concert in Vienna. The food was delicious and plentiful, with a great cappuccino/latte/coffee machine available 24/7. We had a suite which included laundry and daily fruit and other snack treats, a nice touch.

Danube Romantic River Cruise

July

Pros: The staff couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful.

Cons: Information on the tours was not the most accurate.

Recommended: Yes

Information about the tours was not always accurate. The brochures indicated there would be a dinner cruise Saturday evening in Budapest, on the Danube. The cruise consisted of anchoring in the middle of the Danube River for a couple of hours. That provided a very limited view of the city at night. This was compounded by the fact that our tour group on Sunday morning met the ship north of Budapest, so we had a very limited view of the Budapest sights from the river. The brochures also indicated that the tour of Budapest would include a stop at Heroes Square, a sight we visited briefly the day before, but were sure we would spend more time there with a guide the next day, The tour director indicated we would not be stopping at Heroes Square on the tour, because there was construction. We did not see any construction, and our tour consisted of two circles around the square, by bus. I do want to indicate the staff on the ship couldn’t have been more friendly or accommodating. We had two people in our group who got sick during the river trip, and the staff went above and beyond to assist them. In addition, three people in our group required special meals, and the staff made accommodations to provide special dietary food for them.

Choices

October

Pros: Gentle tours

Cons: Making a big deal about all who taken Viking more than once. They were treated like the elite of the passengers.
