Located on the Sun Deck.Although Viking provided high quality experience in every way, having to do part of our journey by bus rather than boat was disappointing. Having to pack and unpack in order to change boats was a bit frustrating. I realize that Viking cannot control the water depth of the rivers, but because of this experience I am not anxious to make another river cruise. I may be more inclined to choose an ocean cruise where water depth is most likely not a problem.
Viking is wonderful. We had to have a boat change at the beginning because of water level issues, but the cruise was seamless. Viking is a class operation in every sense.
This was our first Viking cruise and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience and look forward to future cruises with Viking.
Our Viking Rhine River cruise was wonderful. This is our second Viking river cruise and it was everything we hoped for and exceeded our expectations. The new longships are beautiful, our French balcony cabin was great, the food on the ship was delicious, and our included tours were educational and informative. I would highly recommend Viking cruises.
We've been on two Viking river cruises so far. Stayed in an Explorer Suite both times. Viking has figured out how to pack maximum enjoyment considering customer preferences for how much guided tour time and on your own time you desire at each stop. They are highly organized and highly trained. Their staff are very friendly and it rubs off on their customers. And the food is excellent. We'll book again.
