If you have a problem with motion sickness then a river cruise is for you. And the one to choose is Viking. They do so many things right it's almost impossible to list them all.

What they offer on a river cruise is an intimate ship (capacity 190 passengers) and open seating. Our ship had only Americans and no children. Viking River ships don't have triple or quad cabins.
