Review summary

The crew, staff, and services were excellent!! Our group of 10 thought it was the trip of a lifetime. Recommend this Viking Rhine River Cruise to anyone. Use he leisure excursions if walking is an issue. Enjoy the entertainment and the comic narration of evening update for next day. The Chef was excellent and the personalized service for vegan and gluten free was beyond excellent. A tip of my hat to VikingFreya crew and Daniel Garron at RCI tours who coordinated everything for a group of voyage novices. Excellent job Dan.
