We chose this cruise on the recommendation of friends. It was our first cruise of any type and were drawn by the relaxed itinerary, small ship population and daily historical excursions. We viewed several videos online in advance to acquaint ourselves with the ship's features and feel the Viking crew lived up to the representations in every way. We will cruise again when life permits, and will ...

My wife and I had been thinking of doing a river cruise for some time, having taken 5 sea cruises over the years. The idea of sitting on the deck of a river cruise ship watching the scenery go by seemed intriguing.

My best friend of 60 years and I decided to take this cruise at the recommendation of her daughter and it was truly amazing! However, we did NOT get started on the "best foot". Our ship, The Ve was in dry dock when we arrived in Amsterdam with "maintenance issues". We were supposed to be able to embark on our ship at 12:30 p.m. and all throughout the day, we were "updated" with various times, ...
