Review summary

We had a wonderful time on this cruise. The ports were beautiful and the service on the ship was excellent.  All the excursions were wonderful and we enjoyed both the included and the optional ones. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and super friendly.This is my second Viking cruise and I am considering booking for a third one with Viking.

The only issue I had was the docking of the ship changed from a port close to Amsterdam Central Station to a port far away from the City Center. Viking ran shuttle buses to take guests into town but it was still quite inconvenient.

It is not up to the cruise lines about where they dock.  We now have a problem in Paris with a broken lock.  We had to dock outside the city.

Thanks for the review!  We’ve been on several river cruises so far but we haven’t done a Tulips & Windmills itinerary or sailed with Viking yet.  What trip are you thinking about for your third river cruise?
