Creator's Key Takeaways

And even though Amma is my favorite river cruise company, this one is a Viking because I had credits from Michael and my ill-fated cruise off Norway

It was either use it or lose it. It's been a very long time since I've been on Viking. So let's see what has changed or what hasn't changed.

Since I travel alone, I have a great deal of difficulty using the train system, which would certainly save me a lot of money, but not dragging my big suitcase

don't forget to travel where we can because the spots and places are getting slimmer and slimmer.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use travel credits before they expire.

https://www.TravelsWithSheila.com I prefer AMA over Viking for river cruises but have a Viking credit to use or lose. So, I opt for a Viking Foresti Bordeaux River Cruise. Please don't forget to Subscribe Share and Like. Thanks. April 2026
