Enjoy the Low Countries

Come see the rainbow of colors and visit some of Belgium’s most beautifully preserved medieval cities for the ultimate spring journey in the Low Countries.

Norse Heritage

Her name means "goldbranch." 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, the powerful Norse seer, talks of nothing else. Worried by her gold-lust and the passions it arouses in them, the Aesir cast her into the fire, not once but 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.

River cruising

| Danube river from Budapest to Prague
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.

Europe River Cruise

| Budapest, Vienna, Krems
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.

A PAMPERED WEEK

| regensberg, passaou, krems, vienna, budapest
I guess I am not well suited to river cruises but it was worth doing at least once.

Danube River cruise

| Amsterdam,Budapest,Vienna,Nuremberg
WE had a wonderful time. Enjoyed all the tours. The service was excellent. Looking forward to more whne have time and money saved.

Gullveig Trip

| Nuremberg, Vienna, Kriems, Budapest, etc.
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.
