We had taken a river cruise with Viking in France and enjoyed it. My husband had never been to Germany and I knew he would like the mountains and sights. The cruise was wonderful, the sights fantastic, and the tours were great! Our favorite optional tour was the Cologne Cathedral Tower Tour - absolutely fantastic!!!!! The construction of the cathedral, the warehouse of statues, corbels, friezes, etc was amazing. The view - breathtaking.
The weather was a little rainy, but the view was still wonderful. The castles along the river enjoyable even during the showers.
The food is great and you will never be hungry. The staff is friendly and very helpful. You will not have any language barriers with the crew or local tour guides. The included tours are very insightful, but added a couple of optional tours enhances the experience. Sign up for a Viking river cruise today!
