We were attracted to river cruising by my mother who has taken several. A group of friends selected this itinerary because it offered several interesting ports. We traveled as a group of ten.
We were met at the AMS baggage claim by Viking representatives. Were were directed to a staging area, and moments later to motor coaches for transport to our hotel.
We opted to add a three day/two night pre cruise stay in Amsterdam. This allowed us to spend time in Amsterdam seeing the sights and museums.
We found the cabin to be smaller than what we had experienced on ocean cruises. However, the cabin was very comfortable. We really enjoyed the veranda which allowed us to sit and watch nature and cities along the river.
Throughout the cruise our housekeeper ensured that we were always fully supplied with everything we needed.
