Viking Helvetia Review
Rating by category
Additional details
When planning a Christmas or New Year's Holiday Cruise in Europe you have to plan and be prepared for any type of weather, especially on the Rhine, Danube or Elbe Rivers.
2011 was especially challenging with the low water level conditions throughout Europe....
We kept in close contact with Viking River Cruises, Cruise Critic members and our European friends. By the time we were ready to depart on December 17th we knew we would be cruising, rather then busing through Europe.
Cabin Review
Deluxe Stateroom with Window
Since we generally do not spent much time in our cabin we had chosen Cabin Category D, which on Viking Helvetia is at water level, with large window view.
We have found the area very quiet - could not hear any hallway noise.
Comfortable seating area for reading or watching the TV in your room.
The bathroom, toilet and shower is adequate; if need be one person can shower the other utilize the sink at the same time. We have found closet space and drawer space quite efficient.
Suitcases are stored under the bed during the cruise.
