Viking Grand European River Cruise - Budapest to Amsterdam!

[@suehorn5006]

This was a great video. We are taking this cruise in Sept./Oct. and your video was very helpful.

[@panoramictravels]

Thank you, I'm glad I could give you a sneak peek of your upcoming trip!

Just watched your video, Steve. Very nice job. The mapping was interesting to show the route to the next destination. Loved the titles & descriptions on buildings & places. Everything was done very well, inspiring us to take this cruise.

[@panoramictravels]

Wow, thanks! You will love the Viking Grand European cruise!

[@Roadhog49]

BRAVO!! WE'RE GOING IN JULY. THIS REALLY GOT US EXCITED EVEN MORE. THANK YOU AND GO TIGERS FROM A GIANTS FAN!

[@panoramictravels]

Thank you, I'm glad I could provide an overview of your upcoming trip!

[@Beachbabyboo]

Really well done video. Thanks!

[@panoramictravels]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! We will be on our first Viking Ocean Cruise later this spring (in South America: Chile, Argentina, the Falkland Islands and Uruguay) later this spring. Be on the lookout for a video sometime in the summer. Subscribe to Panoramic Travels to make sure you don't miss it!

Love your video, we are planning to go, just not sure when. Question....your tours, were these the included tours, or did you do the optional ones. Thanks

[@panoramictravels]

Some were included and some were optional. I really don't remember which were which at this point. In my more recent cruise videos I make it a point to mention if the tour was optional.

I enjoyed this wonderful video. We are going on a river cruise in a couple of weeks. You took wonderful pictures. May I ask what kind of camera

[@panoramictravels]

Hi, Kathryn (that's my daughter's name!). I'm glad you enjoyed the video. The cameras were nothing special. I captured most of the content with an iPhone 11 Pro. We also got content from my wife (iPhone XS and an old Nikon D5300 DSLR) and our friend's Canon EOS Rebel. My wife just bought a Nikon Z6 II full frame, mirrorless camera, so future videos should be even better! Enjoy your river cruise! We have one scheduled for April 2024: the Capitols of Eastern Europe.

[@kathrynmcmeekin9931]

Thank you. Your pictures were great. We have an iPhone 13pro. We were thinking of not taking our Nikon, as we didn’t want something else around our neck. Getting closer to our cruise now, yeah

[@panoramictravels]

@@kathrynmcmeekin9931 My wife and I both have iPhone 13 Pros right now. They do a great job - except for zooming and low light conditions. We just got back from our first Viking OCEAN cruise. It was the South America and Chilean Fjords cruise. My wife took her Nikon mostly for nature shots like when we were visiting penguin colonies in the Falkland Islands (a place called Volunteer Point). You might want to take your Nikon and only take it on the excursions where it will do a much better job than an iPhone. By the way, I'm working on the South American videos now.

I have subscribed and will look forward to future videos. Thanks for the camera advice

[@jevontruex1026]

Wonderful Video. Booked this for this coming October/November. How is the weather that time of year? Looks cool but not to bad?

[@panoramictravels]

Thank you, Jevon! Well, you can see us wearing coats and jackets in the video. There were cold days, but I don't remember it being too bad. Just remember to layer so if you're too warm you can take a layer off. I hope your Grand European River Cruise is as great as ours was!

We just got back from this trip and it was WONDERFUL! Viking did a FANTASTIC job; well worth the $$ spent. We were on the Viking Vidar June 2023. I'm not sure how old the boat/ship is but it looked brand new. We hit great weather with temperatures in the low to mid 20C (72F-85F). The entire vacation was a fabulous experience-perfect really.

[@panoramictravels]

@@apackwestbound5946 that DOES sound like perfect weather!

[@gulfchef]

No sound after 2 seconds???

[@marksowerbutts4949]

No sound at all, but may not need it after all

[@panoramictravels]

This video has over 13 thousand views. You are only the second person to say there is no sound. The sound is working fine. I think the problem is on your end.

[@williamgrable2418]

Were there any wheelchair passengers on this cruise?

[@panoramictravels]

We have been on two Viking River Cruises and one Viking Ocean Cruise (so far). I do remember seeing at least one passenger in a wheelchair. That person still got to enjoy many of the excursions, as a Viking crew member accompanied him during the excursions.

[@robertawilkes6531]

No sound on TV

[@panoramictravels]

I think the problem is on your end. I can hear the sound when I play it. Also, 2,400 people have viewed the video and no one else has mentioned a problem with the sound.
