I had wanted to take a Viking Cruise and liked the idea of cruising the Rhine. The various stops along the river appealed to me.
Completely by luck we traveled on the Kvasir. Every member of the crew was exceptional at his/her job. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I was particularly impressed with the procedure for leaving the ship for excursions and returning to the ship. Enjoyed the guides and very competent bus drivers for our excursions. Food was excellent and the menus were varied and interesting. Good wines. Excellent service at every meal. I especially enjoyed having the chef talk to us about the dinner menu each evening.
We were met at the Amsterdam airport. From that point and throughout the week, we didn't have to worry about a thing. At the end, a bus took us to the Basel airport where a Viking employee met us and checked us in for our flight. Viking really takes care of their passengers from beginning to end!
The cabin was as little smaller than pictured but it was very nice and adequate for our needs. Extra amenities included water, a bottle of wine, fresh fruit daily, and a small arrangement of fresh flowers. Very comfortable bed. High end lotion, bath gel and shampoo items in the bathroom. The cabin was nicely designed to accommodate our needs.
