We wanted to be on a ship with fewer people than the large cruise ships. Our experience was one of perfect harmony with the people we met, the sights we photographed and the food and drinks provided by this amazing group of people. We have never been on a cruise before so we studied a long time to see what we could afford and the services each line would provide. We decided Viking was a perfect fit for us so we took the chance and paid for the trip up the Rhine river. We also added two days to our trip to stay in Amsterdam for a longer period of time to get to see and know it better than just landing there and having just a day to explore. After learning how to use the trams, we had the city to ourselves. The restaurants were cozy and served wonderful food and I had a lot of time to photograph the city and its inhabitants. The rest of the trip was perfect and we are now thinking of taking another Viking trip in the near future.
We were in a beautiful room with a sliding door for access onto a small balcony which afforded us the pleasure of watching the shoreline and wildlife as we cruised up the Rhine. Our attendant Nenad was the perfect person to make us feel at home and he always had our room perfect whenever we came back from a tour. It was the trip of a lifetime for us and we will tell everyone to charter with this company if they want the perfect experience.
Nice way to get to know the city.
Got to see and visit the cathedral which was incredible.
Got some great pictures on this one.
Incredible architecture and information.
