Anyone sailed Viking River Cruises?
My folks are thinking of taking a Viking cruise (European river cruise on
the Danube) this summer. Can anyone shed some light, hopefully based on personal experience, on these cruises? Thanks in advance, Rusty |

Although there are barges on some French rivers, the slower barges do the
canals, if I'm not mistaken, and that is what she mentioned she'd like to do. |

Anyone sailed Viking River Cruises?
There's a few detailed trip reports on my site of some neat river cruises,
complete with photos. One is a Russian river cruise on the MS Vladimir Mayakovski which is run by Value World Tours http://www.mytripreport.com/display.php?reportid=175 Another is a riverboat trip down the Rhone in France on the Cezanne http://www.mytripreport.com/display.php?reportid=187 There are also a couple of reports for barge cruises in Burgundy, France and in Holland, which are quite interesting and can be found on this page: http://www.mytripreport.com/search.p...theme=cruising Hope this may help you.

Hi Rusty,
I voyaged on the Viking Spirit from Amsterdam to Vienna summer before last and can provide an unconditional recommendation as it was enjoyable from start to finish. If you would like details then please contact me directly. Aloha |

Anyone sailed Viking River Cruises?
Last year we did one of the competitors: Uniworld (on the Rhine, from
Basel up to Amsterdam). The Viking ships we saw looked comparable. I enjoyed the trip a great deal. Very very different from an ocean cruise (of course), but the river ships have a number of points in their favor. One issue: meals. We were generally docked overnight (not in transit, as you usually are in an ocean itinerary), so, although you've paid to eat on the ship each day, you're only a stone's throw from local establishments. The Uniworld food was good enough that we opted for ship meals about 80% of the time -- but the situation is a bit of a dilemma! wrote in message ...
