Review summary

We thoroughly enjoyed Viking and the Rhine! It was a pleasure meeting people on a smaller ship and Viking went out of their way to accommodate the guests. I can't complain about any part of this cruise!

We loved the ships design. It was always clean and neat!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We chose a veranda suite for extra room to navigate. We were delighted when we got to our room and saw there was ample room to get around. The veranda was a must for us but we may not choose the suite next time.
