We choose the Rhine River Cruise in August of 2016, because it sounded like a new adventure we wanted to experience. Sixteen family and friends from Colorado, Connecticut, Minnesota and Utah, all traveled together as a group. The all inclusive vacation included great service, dining, cabins, entertainment and shore excursions. Absolutely no complaints!!!! It was an A-1 vacation that I would highly recommend to everyone. We began in the Netherlands, then through Germany, France and lastly to the breath taking beauty of Switzerland, our favorite country of them all. We were glad that we planned ahead and bought Euros for the first 3 countries and Francs for Switzerland all before we left the states. I have to admit, some of us were a little apprehensive about traveling to an area outside of the United States, but our fears were alleviated once we boarded the boat. Viking Cruises took very good care of us from the time our flight landed in Europe to the time we left for home.
Our Veranda Stateroom was very nice and located in a very convenient part of the boat.
Lots to explore, but had the most fun riding a gondola to the top of the hill.
Our husbands took the Mercedes tour while the women shopped in Kehl, Germany. Later, we all walked over the bridge near our docking point that allowed to be in Germany and France at the same time. Pretty cool.
