Viking Beyla

July

Pros: Clean ship, friendly and helpful staff, delicious food and drinks

Cons: Too much time on buses, lenghthy and sometimes dull tours, lack of evening entertainment

Recommended: No

We enjoyed our time on the boat. Our flights going were cancelled so we missed most of our stay in Prague. Our flights leaving were also cancelled so we had to pay for an extra hotel night in Berlin. Our travel agent was able to get us flights on Lufthansa the following day. We connected in Frankfurt, and was delayed quite a long time. The Lufthansa agents at the gate were disorganized and disrespectful to the passengers. We have flown Lufthansa in the past and was very satisfied, however, on this flight, the services were substandard.

A beautiful new longboat

November

Pros: Lovely, modern decor. Comfortable staterooms. Amazing use of storage space---unique for riverboats.

Cons: No elevator. Long walk to stateroom.

Recommended: Yes

This is a stunning riverboat. It is only two years old, so everything is state of the art and shiny new. Staff was exceptional. Dining room experiences were excellent. Loved that they provided casual eating opportunities in the lounge for breakfast and lunch.
