Had a marvellous time on the Helvetica from Amsterdam to Basel. Viking seem to think of everything - and get it right. Highly recommended. Wish I'd gone for a fortnight's cruise rather than a week! On a constructive note, I would say that not having a lift on the Helvetica was something of a problem (I'm a blue card holder) and if you can stick to direct flights and avoid changing at Schipol, you won't regret it. Changing planes involves a LOT of walking Didn't affect me personally as I was transported by buggy and wheelchair, but my wife was very tired after the walking.
