We cruised the Rhine River on the Viking Ingvi - a brand-new ship for 2014. Starting at Basel, Switzerland and ending in Amsterdam, the trip was magnificent. The amount of activities, the sights, and the people we met - especially in the ports - were all wonderful.
The ship was immaculate, the staff friendly and efficient, and the trip could not have been better.
Our tour guides on shore were knowledgeable, friendly and so very interesting. We came away from each town on the Rhine with knowledge that gave us a sense of knowing what it's like to live there. We were not tourists; we were travelers.
Our stateroom was more like a modern apartment! Very spacious with generous storage. The lighting was incredible. the quarters were not tight at all with the two of us, and the small balcony outside the sliding glass doors gave us a wonderful view of the Rhine. Getting that level of accommodation was a smart move on our part. The room was kept spotless by the crew, and it was very comforting to come back to a perfect room after a long day on our feet in town. We loved the European craftsmanship that went into the building of the ship in general and the staterooms in particular.
