Karen

The Operator had tried the best to make alternative arrangement for the part of cruise that could not be completed because of the low water level of Elbe River.

AY
Augustus

Although the cruise was partly completed owing to the low water level of the Elbe River, the Operator had tried the best to meet the needs of the customers. The alternative arrangements made had satisfied my needs.

BL
Bill

The services is excellent, Seem like my family.

JS
Joel

Because the Elbe River was too low to sail, we had to remain on the two ships while they were docked and make bus trips to the places described in the itinerary. Although that was a disappointment, it was something that Viking could not control. Our main purpose was to visit the various excursions promised and they all met our expectations completely.
