This was probably the best vacation/trip my wife and I have ever taken. We celebrated her retirement by cruising the Rhine. The tours and tour guides were excellent from start to finish. Food on board was really good, probably gained a few pounds. The accommodations were perfect in size and cleanliness. Now the staff especially the Cruise Director was fun and professional in every manner. The buses for the tours also were clean and always on time. The only criticism was we should have extended our stays at both ends, now that was my fault! We will be cruising again with Viking when we save up enough money to do it again maybe the Danube next. Thanks to the Captain and Crew for making it the most memorable vacation we have ever taken. The bar Manager, House Keeping Director, and Restaurant Managers as well as the dining staff were especially attentive to our tastes and needs. We will be doing this again. Also we met some really nice people that we are still in contact with. Thanks
