Itinerary

Viking Danube River Cruise onboard the VILHJALM Longship

• The prices listed below include River Cruise on the Viking Vilhjalm,  Viking ground transportation, and a bus from Gloucester.   Those outside the Gloucester area can fly from any airport in the USA on Viking Air.

• If you want to sign up you need to put a $500. per person deposit down and your FINAL PAYMENT WILL BE DUE  October 2022- 12 months before the cruise. This is how Viking conducts business.   See the Cancellation Policy below to understand what happens if you need to cancel.  If you experience a covered reason for cancelation your Travel Insurance will kick in.  Basically, if you need to cancel up to 120 days before departure you will lose $100 per person UNLESS your reason for cancellation is covered by the insurance. Closer than 120 to departure see policy below.

The VIKING Cancellation Policy is very strict. I have set up an Allianz Group Travel Insurance policy ( with Covid Protection) or you can purchase your own.    Insurance is usually nonrefundable.  Sample pricing for Allianz group policy for this cruise with Viking Air for a standard cabin is $236. per person and covers Covid issues.   There is no age penalty so someone 80 plus pays the same as someone 30 years old.

• All persons on this trip must be vaccinated against the Covid-19 virus and provide proof if asked by the airline and cruise line.

• Covid protocols are constantly changing but at this time you will need a negative Covid test prior to boarding the outbound plane in the USA to Europe.

Regarding our Danube Waltz cruise:

Viking Longship VILHJALM  has 4 decks:

The Main Deck is water level and the Standard Cabins. - see pricing below for all staterooms

The Middle Deck which has French Balconies and Veranda Staterooms

The Upper Deck has the Suites and Veranda staterooms.

The Sun deck is the outside space for lounging and relaxing and seeing all the Castles, Cathedrals, and Vineyards while cruising on the River.

The VILJALM was built in 2016 and holds 190  passengers and 50 crew.

Note- The cabins that usually sell out first are the French Balcony Cat D because they are above water level but not the more expensive cabins on the upper deck.  See photos below of the three types of cabins.  If you want more info on Viking Veranda Suites or Explorer Suites, call Laurie or see the Viking website.

On board, there will be a daily briefing on the ports we will visit and lots of entertainment.

• Each port you can explore with a complimentary VIKING shore excursion, venture out on your own or Viking offers other excursions at cost.

• Specialty Coffee and Tea are complimentary  24 hours a day.

• Beer, wine, and soda are complimentary at Lunch and Supper.

• If you want to add VIKING SILVER SPIRITS (Open Bar for alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks) the price for the entire cruise is $150 per person extra. ****Viking allows guests to bring alcoholic and non-alcoholic bottles on the cruise at no cost and DO NOT charge a corkage fee.
