After over 20 plus cruises on ships with 350 to 4,800 passengers, we thought we would try river cruising. Some concerns were the size of the ship and the fewer number of passengers. Could we find places on the ship to relax without a crowd? Would only one meal time be ok? Would our cabin be big enough? Would we fit in with our fellow passengers? Is a small crew going to be ok or will service suffer?
When our credentials arrived, we should have known what our trip would be like. There were simple to read and easy to carry documents, outlining every moment of our trip and FAQ's that were very helpful. Even the case the documents arrived in could be used for the cruise.
We arrived in Amsterdam for a two night stay and were met by Viking Representatives who put us in a cab and we went straight to our hotel. We met our next Viking Rep in the hotel and were given information about the hotel, dining, our Amsterdam Tour and suggestions for what we might do on our own. There was always someone available to answer any questions.
