Viking River Cruise:Buyers Beware

[JVilleGal]

Not me!!!!

If you want to get everything promised to you by a river cruise company, book Scenic European or Crystal River cruises, both are new and both are excellent. Oh! you can't book Crystal until 2017 or late 2016. By the way! Viking is not the cheapest.

 

Before you book anything anytime for any vacation, READ, READ AND RESEARCH :rolleyes:

 

Happy Sailing.

What an odd thing to say, 1st who knows what Crystal is doing as they have not sailed yet and may I ask if you have ever sailed on a river cruise??

 

There are excellent river cruise companies and the only one with issues in the last couple years is Viking.

 

River companies with excellent reputations are (in no particular order)

Tauck

AMA

Uniworld

Avalon

Scenic

I'm sure I'm missing some one. And one was left off the list intentionally!

And PS this thread died last August!

No matter when a thread dies, it is alive as long as people( you and I ) keep posting.

 

I have sailed river cruises. Viking and Avalon. I am booked on Scenic for 2017.

 

I included Crystal because I know what that are about. They are excellent in every way. Why would they produce a River cruise less excellent than their Ocean cruises.

 

Have a great cruise JVILLEGAL, no matter what ship you sail on.

 

I still say! the best way to avoid problems on vacation is to Read, and research.. That is my personal opinion;)

 

Happy cruising everyone.
