Viking Kvasir

SHIP OVERVIEW

The Norse god Kvasir is born out of peace. When the two warring factions of the Aesir and the Vanir agree to form a truce, they do so with each god spitting into a bowl and stirring the saliva. From this, Kvasir, a new god of knowledge is created. Kvasir embodies all the gods’ knowledge. So great is his knowledge that there is no question he cannot answer.

PROS

Great staff, great programs, wonderful Captain

CONS

They ran out of certain types of popular alcohol, Bourbon for example

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Overall a great experience, I know Viking tries to let you know of the difficulty of walking but they need to figure a way of enhancing that wording, some of the guest we were with had a very tough time with the cobblestone streets. Capitan was engaged and will to talk even as he was docking the boat Would highly recommend this

Viking Kvasir, Sail Date Monday 8/5/2019

AUGUST

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Onboard dining experience was excellent in all aspects, housekeeping staff very friendly & accomodating

CONS

The included tours required early wakeup and early breakfast in order to not miss departure time. Suggestion: allow 1 day for a late morning or early afternoon included tour to allow a leisurely morning.

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Overall, a very good experience on the Viking Kvasir. The 5 day extension on land upon leaving the ship was well worth the extra money. The Viking tour guide for the extension (Tina Hudnik, from Slovenia) was great!! The best hotel experience was in Geneva (final 2 nights of the extension) at the InterContinental Hotel Geneve. Viking's land coaches were modern, comfortable, and drivers were highly skilled. Local tour guides had plenty of knowledge, patience, and handled all questions.

Rhine Viking River Cruise

MAY

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

New long boats very nice, liked the convenience of 110v outlets in cabins. Staff very attentive and accommodating. Chef Mario offered copies of his recipes and asked for suggestions.

CONS

Sometimes very long walk between boat and buses for on land excursions. We experienced a medical emergency and there is no basic first aid onboard for such emergencies.

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Return flight from Amsterdam on United Airlines wasn't a pleasant experience. Arrived 9 am for 12 noon D.C. flight. Two other flights (Chicago 10 am & Houston 11 am) were lined up, almost out the terminal door to be checked in. United counters not well staffed, not well marked, signage too small (may be fault of airport?) Only 3 counters open. Chicago & Houston passengers being called to front of line, some even missed their flight. D.C. passengers finally checked in. After standing in line for two hours, we were checked in at 11 am to be told boarding started at 11:15 and we had a long walk. United gate D57 was last gate in terminal, no transportation provided by airport for long distances. Almost missed our flight, despite being at the airport 3 hours early. Food on flights was not good. Will do as Europeans do and bring our own food.
