Review summary

Too many photos to upload and not enough room to add an appropriate review. What is so very special about Viking Rhine river cruise was their assistance navigating through all the ports and the embarkation and debarkation and return home handlings. Once again a very very stress free vacation in a foreign country and would do it again. Thank you Viking for taking care of us.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Couldn't ask for a better experience. Because we had a pre extension in Amsterdam Viking coordinated everything. There representative who was with us at the hotel made sure our luggage and transfers to the ship were all done. Awesome

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Everyone of the areas to eat in were spotless and the staff was great. I'm a fussy eater but didn't have a problem finding anything to eat or drink.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Our ship was a long ship with no pool or rock climbing. They did have some topics which you could have went to but as busy as we were with excursions we never really participated in those talks.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The piano player was great.

Children's Programs

Don't have children and no children were on our cruise

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The best of this cruise was the staff.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The outside of the long ship was not all that great looking but that is a long ship. The inside and onboard areas were spotless and I couldn't find anything wrong with them.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Very clean but kind of small. We are use to the penthouse suites on the big ships so this took us back to when we first started cruising. But we only slept there and it did provide a very sweet place for that. With the small rooms you also get a small bathroom and shower but again very adequate. We are not there for this room but for the tour and off ship excursions. Could I do another cruise with the same room - yes.

Ship tip

Enjoy your time - it will be one of the best vacations you will have.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Everything was handled and controlled by Viking - no stress.
