Viking Gefjon

SHIP OVERVIEW

Gefjon is credited with the creation of the Danish island of Zealand. When the ruler of Sweden offers her all the land she and four oxen can plow in a day and a night, she transforms her four sons into beasts of burden. Together, they uproot a swathe of earth from the mainland and deposit it into the sea, creating Zealand. This act of might earns Gefjon respect among gods.

Viking River Cruise Amsterdam to Budapest

MAY

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Everything about the ship and the trip exceeded our expectations.

CONS

None

RECOMMENDED

Yes

We took this trip to celebrate our 50th anniversary. Everything regarding Viking exceeded our expectations. From when we were met at the airport in Amsterdam to being escorted to the ticket counter in Budapest, Viking did an excellent job. We would recommend Viking for anyone taking a river cruise.

Grand Européen Tour

AUGUST

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

The crew and ship were great!

CONS

Many of the passengers came down with cough and colds.

RECOMMENDED

Yes

We had a great time and 18 days was probably too long for us. The daily walks around each city were very educational and the optional excursions we signed up for were well worth it. We also passed thru 70+ locks which was a real experience.

PROS

Very well organized and accommodating

CONS

The moderate walking excursions were a little too demanding for people with mobility issues.

The cruise was wonderful. I had a problem with a couple of excursions with the guides going too fast for people with walking issues. We did sign up for the easy walk which was better.
