Viking Tor Review
Rating by category
Additional details
Out Viking Tor cruise along the Rhine, from Amsterdam, Netherlands to Basel, Switzerland, was filled with beautiful sights (and sites), wonderful food, and terrific people. From the windmills of Kinderdijk and cafes of Cologne to the castles of Heidelburg, the beautiful streets of Strasbourg, this trip had something for everyone. Learning how to construct a Black Forest cake or simply catching the glorious view floating up the middle Rhine presented only two aspects of the trip.
On board, the crew and staff were thoughtful, helpful, and fun to be around. The food was delicious and not like the overpowering piles found on those huge vessels. The intimacy of the Viking ship makde for a friendly, accessible atmosphere.
Having gone as part of the Pied Piper group enhanced the atmosphere in which we could get to know our fellow travelers well enough to create some lifetime friendships.
Cabin Review
The stateroom, though small, was compact with room for everything. On our previous Viking cruise, we had a Veranda room, which was slightly larger and included a small deck with 2 chairs. However, having made that trip in April, it was too cold to use it, so we opted for the french Balcony, which was absolutely fine.
