It was suggested by our Travel Agent, that we use. A Viking Representative show a outstanding video of the Rhine Getaway and we knew this was the trip we needed to do ! Petty much every thing went like a fine oil machine. Our Travel agent working with Viking took care of every detail From the moment our luggage was brought to our Stateroom to our first meeting with the Caption and the Crew. to Our Program Director, who was the BEST. She kept us informed and amused. The food is plentiful and of excellent quality and of course wine or beer is served at lunch and dinner. I would like to mention the trip excursions that are provide, by Viking.. They are well planed with plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings, without feeling overwhelm . If you are the type that doesn't like surprises or disappointments. Then a Viking River Cruise is for You !
