Viking Gullveig

SHIP OVERVIEW

Her name means “gold branch.” This beautiful, beguiling Norse sorceress loves and desires nothing more than gold. When she leaves the realm of the Vanir gods and travels to Asgard, home of the Aesir gods, in search of gold, Gullveig talks of nothing else. Worried by her gold-lust, the Aesir cast her into the fire three times. Each time she rises from the flame brighter and more beautiful. When she then returns to the Vanir, they vow to avenge her mistreatment, and so begins the fabled war between the worlds.

PROS

food was excellent; stateroom was very comfortable, everything was so clean, some extraordinary viking employees traveling companions interesting

CONS

service was uneven, seemed like there were short a few folks, offshore excursions were okay, not special, not enough free time for my taste

Yes

I guess I am not well suited to river cruises but it was worth doing at least once.

River cruising

DECEMBER

PROS

The ship was excellent. Clean, good food, and good service. Everyone was so polite and helpful. Our bartender Zorn was AMAZING!

CONS

Weather could have been better but nothing Viking could control. A bit cold and wet with a dusting of snow. The lounge entertainment needs to be stepped up a bit.

RECOMMENDED

Yes

This was our first river cruise. It was a wonderful cruise, great stops, great people, and well organized. We will definitely be taking another Viking cruise! Highly recommend adding on the Prague extension.

Gullveig Trip

JULY

PROS

Attentive staff, clean/comfortable stateroom, outstanding social/program director,

CONS

Food (small portions, limited menu, average quality), limited activities on ship

RECOMMENDED

Yes

We determined an ocean cruise on a bigger ship and with more activities and meal choices was more suitable to our tastes (and for anyone with active lifestyle). Would not do again but hesitate not to recommend becsuse based on personal preferences.

<div>We would have liked to have sailed on the Gullveig all the way to Nuremberg. However, an accident on the Danube prevented the ship from cruising beyond Linz. Viking and the Gullveig did a wonderful job of arranging motor coach transportation for those going on the tours to Gottweig Abbey and Salzsburg, etc., and for then taking those guest to the Egil at Straubing. The staffs of both ships should be commended for making our trip pleasant and enjoyable.</div>
