The Rhine Cruise was th first cruise we had even been on and it exceeded our expectations in every respect. So much so that we booked another Viking cruise within 7days of our return home The boat, cabin, public areas, food, crew, excursions, facilities of every kind, were faultless. We were the only Scots on our trip - the other guests were predominantly American which was something of a surprise but it did not adversely affect our holiday - we even made good friends of an American couple. If you've never tried cruising we think Viking will spoil you for any other cruise line. Their all inclusive style is very good value.
