Viking Rinda Ship and Stateroom Tour

On their first river cruise, Jan and Tracey take you on a guided tour of not only the Viking Rinda, but also each of the five cabin categories: Standard Stateroom, French Balcony Stateroom, Veranda Stateroom, Veranda Suite, and even the Explorer Suite. While this was on the Viking Rinda on our Danube Waltz Cruise, all of Viking's Longboat ships are nearly identical.
