I had given up on ever experiencing a cruise holiday and I was pleasantly surprised that my wife readily agreed to a cruise on the River Rhine last year.
Viking River Cruises did not let us down!!
Our first experience was great even if the weather was rather wet precluding evening drinks on the sun deck.
We had been advised to select a stateroom nearest to the centre of the vessel and therefore our stateroom proved to be extremely comfortable,quiet and with excellent views from the full height glazed window.
