Review summary

Was a great vacation, although long since we did extensions in Amsterdam and Praque. Would have been more enjoyable if we hadn't had to be tested almost every day, but now that I am back I hear they have stopped that, which is very good.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
some minor delays

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
All dining options were great.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
On a river cruise there are not a lot of activities, just relaxing.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Probably one of the best features of a Viking cruise.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Could not be better.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We expected some tight quarters, but were still very satisfied with our cabin.

Ship tip

I thought the location of our cabin near the center of the ship was a big plus. You didn't have to go as far to the dining room or lounge and the gang plank to get on and off the ship.

Ports of call

Amsterdam, Netherlands

4 out of 5
A large city, and very busy with lots of bikes. Did the walking tour the was fine, but really enjoyed the tour of Harlem.

Kinderdijk, Netherlands

4 out of 5
It was very interesting to see a windmill up close, glad we did.

Cologne, Germany

5 out of 5
beautiful town, could live there. They like their beer better than I did.

Koblenz, Germany

5 out of 5
All these smallish town were great, with a lot of history and wonderful architecture. It would have been easier to report about them if I were doing this right after the touring.

Miltenberg, Germany

5 out of 5
By now all the towns are becoming a blur, but in a good way.

Wurzburg, Germany

5 out of 5
Another quaint German town, did the included walking tour.

Bamberg, Germany

5 out of 5
Also a great town.Did the included 4.5 hour walking tour. Tried their smoky beer, not a fan.

Nuremberg, Germany

5 out of 5
More of the same, did the walking tour. You really need good shoes and expect swollen feet.

Regensburg, Germany

5 out of 5
Maybe my favorite town, another walking tour.

Passau, Germany

5 out of 5
Passau is beautiful as well, did the walking tour and then paid for the Bavarian Cruise & Baroque Town Scharding, but would give this tour a C+ only.

Melk, Austria

5 out of 5
More of the same, a short stop with a walking tour.

Krems, Austria

5 out of 5
Did the Wachau Valley Winery tour. Thought this was top notch.

Vienna, Austria

5 out of 5
Big city, different atmosphere, but good. Did the Beethoven/Strauss concert and it was very good but warm.

Budapest, Hungary

5 out of 5
Loved Budepest, also a big city. Did the Hungarian Icons, a total waste.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
smooth
