Ours was a travel group of 7 adults, who took 3 double cabins and a single cabin. 3 of us had been on Viking cruises in the past; 4 were new to river cruising. All seemed to have a wonderful time during the entire trip. Cabin Staff was mostly from Eastern Europe (Romania), but we also had a sprinkling of Filipino and other European countries. All spoke very good English and German. The Cruise Director, David, was from the UK and provided excellent service and background lectures to each of our stops. We were well taken care of, in the tradition of Viking service. Besides the main part of the cruise, a subset of us paid for and spent a few extra days in Munich (NOT part of the cruise) to get acclimated to time zones. And we further supplemented our stay by spending 3 extra days in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, an ancient medieval town about 1 hours train ride from Munich. Highly recommended stop at Rothenburg, either on your own or as a part of the excursions on other Viking venues. Cruise itself was well run. A special treat was the ship's chef taking a large group of us to the local farmer's market to pick up the produce that would become part of nightly dinner. He toured us around to his favorite cheese shop; fruits and veggies; and sausage stalls. We even were treated to a round of very nice German Weiss Wine. Favorite stop would be Vienna, where we were shown where to buy a local chocolate delicacy, which translated into English was "Mozart Cookies/Balls" - marzipan dipped in rich chocolate. Very fine with Viennese Coffee and/or strudel. Had lunch in an 800 year old monastery, too.
