I arrived in amster 3 days early so I could explore the city and get over jet lag Amsterdam is a fabulous City

I enjoyed meeting new people at each meal

I was glad I didn't leave the Netherlands without a trip to see some windmills very beautiful

I now rank it as one of the most beautiful cities I have visited there was hardly a street that wasn't postcard Picture Perfect

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Join excursions at every port as they are included
βœ“Bring cash as some restaurants may not accept cards
βœ“Consider a river cruise during non-holiday seasons for lower prices

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Difference between river and ocean cruises β€” River cruises drop off at different places for excursions, making private excursions harder to book
What to do if not joining an excursion β€” There often isn't much to do but sit on the boat if you don't join an excursion

YouTube Video Description↓

Viking has several longboats that travel up and down the Rhine River, including the Viking Einar and Viking Sigrun. I embarked on the Rhine Getaway seven-day river cruise, which started in Amsterdam and ended in Basel. The boat stopped at cities along the route, including Rotterdam, Cologne, Strasbourg, Kehl, Rudesheim, Koblenz, Speyer, and Colmar, with excursions to the nearby areas of Kinderdijk and the Black Forest. This video will give you a day by day overview of the cruise experience and the highlights of each excursion that I selected. Please see the videos below for more detailed videos of the various destinations along the route.
