RHINE RIVER CRUISE (2023-09-24 TO 2023-10-02) EMBARKATION 9/24 UBER driver arrived 10 minutes early than 5 AM reservation but that was fine. $2.90 airport surcharge, booking fee $9.14, reservation fee $5.00. LAS to ATL went off without a hitch, wheelchair was waiting right in the jet way and took us to the Delta lounge. Then arranged wheelchair to go to the gate for CDG. CDG is a maze ...

This was my 5th Viking Cruise, second time doing the Rhine. Our very first Rhine Cruise was July 2015. Wow! Viking has changed! Many of the optional excursions were included in 2015. This time not much offered. Too many shuttles being used to get to towns and back to boat. The service has gone down. We weren’t even recognized for our 5th cruise! They did have a cocktail party for returning guests, ...

The first half of this cruise was terrible. We had Viking arrange our travel and will never do that again. We paid the extra $100 for air plus ($200 total) which was a total waste of money. No one ever contacted us about our travel and they booked the worst flights we have ever had going overseas. It took 18 hrs and we missed the entire of the first day of the cruise. The first stop was ...

This seven night Rhine River cruise takes you to several major cities and cruises the section of the river with the largest concentration of castles and vineyards. The timing of the castles cruise was in the morning when the sun was shining on most of them on this Basel to Amsterdam cruise direction. The ship docked in Rudesheim in the evening and walking around the town on our own when most of ...

I will start with the things I like and that was the ship. It was very nice and cabin was very comfortable. We had the deluxe french balcony. One closet that had draws below was useless because it hit the night stand and you could not open the draws. As usual the service was excellent. Now on to what I did not like. I thought the food was just OK. I never had a meal where I said that was ...

In comparison to Uniworld or Ama our cruise didn't sparkle - it was good but not special. Staff did their jobs but for the most part that is all they did - no real sense of a 'can do' hospitality vibe. Food was good but not memorable. Breakfast buffets offered numerous options but were basically the same each morning. Lunches offered three choices each day with the option for a burger or ...

We were very excited about our first river cruise and chose Scenic purely because of it’s reputation of being a ‘luxury’ brand. We departed by bus from Zurich and transferred to Scenic Jade at Basel, sailing out from Basel to Amsterdam on 29 May for 14 nights, exiting the ship on 12 June. We wouldn’t call it 15 days – you’re on the ship from the afternoon of your arrival and then kicked out of ...

My wife and I were looking forward to our week aboard AMA Siena which left from Basel to Amsterdam. Overall, we had a nice journey but had some missed opportunities to rate this 5 stars. This was our second river cruise and first cruise on AMA. First we were not able to embark in Basel due to high water levels on the Rhine specifically in the locks near Basel. Waking up the morning of the ...

6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

We had high expectations for our Viking river cruise along the Rhine river, unfortunately everything was a little flat and slightly disappointing. The food was good but not great, the service was nice but not exceptional and there was little entertainment on the ship. We are active and in our early 60's and it felt like the cruise caters to an older slower going crowd. Breakfast was the best ...
