My group of 6 chose this cruise on the Rhine for the history and the photographic opportunities - and the food! We were not at all disappointed. The care and service provided by Viking was outstanding. Our cabin was well-appointed and comfortable, and the ship itself was beautifully maintained.
The trip was perfect and the guides on the walking tours were informative. We did not do any extra excursions and we did not feel at all deprived, although our fellow passengers loved their excursions; we felt that we became well acquainted with the towns we visited. I sometimes wished we had more time to explore each city we visited. The highlight of the tours for us were the cathedrals we visited.
The food, both on board ship and in the various towns and cities, was spectacular, and our Viking concierges were very well informed about restaurants in the cities where we stayed.
