going soon:) hubby's grandfather sang the lead in ' Ole Heidelberg " @ his University ( Heidelberg University founded in 1300s) . Later this was turned into the great American Musical " The Student Prince". We're excited to see where he lived!
What are the entertainment options on these ships after the daytime excursions are over with and everybody is back on the ship for the night ? I didn't see really any great options in this video which gives me reservations.
If you are looking for night life, a different cruise line is for you. I think they have a pianist, and tv in the room. The European river longships have less than 200 passengers, Ocean liners are under 1,000 (some may be 2,000). It is my understanding that river cruises are more like bus tours in terms of set schedule for eating (except for the additional buffet), and tours. On ocean cruises, there is a choice of shore excursion, on river cruises everyone does the same walking tour (in groups of 40 or so) ,sometimes stopping for part of a day before heading to the next stop up the river.
Part of the atmosphere on a Viking cruise is that you will meet similar people. We sat on the top deck or in the bar and did the simple art of conversation.
We are scheduled to sail Gymir out of Amsterdam but have no idea which dock we're supposed to go to. I looked at all of our paperwork from Viking and it's not listed. Any idea?
If you notice, there are luggage tags with Viking on them. They will pick them and take them to a van. There normally is a Viking representative at the luggage stalls.
I was a bit underwhelmed with its decor ., I thought Viking had a reputation for high luxury.. the interior seemed very dated and drab .. the Viking River Boats vary ?
You’re going on a cruise to see the many poets of call and the outdoor scenery, not to be thrilled by the inside of the ship. High end is usually a “classic” palate rather than a circus themed one.
If you are traveling from the west coast of US or Canada, it’s 17- 20 hours of flights. Not much to do or see on the ship. The city tours are similar: church, museum, cobblestone street …. Room and dining service were good. Food was good. Internet was horrible. And the toilets were loud. You hear neighbour room flushes ! You can also hear the people walking on the sun deck if you are staying in the top floor.
Thank you for this great video. I am excited to travel with my sister next year, my only apprehension has been the vaccine mandates. I do not tolerate them well and have not had any. I know I may have to get one if Viking doesn’t change their policy by late summer 2023. . My sister and I are on the EIR in November 2023. Neither of us have ever traveled on a Viking cruise. I called Viking a few days ago and they said that VAX mandates have been lifted in all the countries that our particular cruise is going to. So at this point it’s just Viking that still has a mandate.
This is definitely the way I’d like to see Europe!
Excellent video. Thank you.
We just came back from the river-tour with Viking, (from Amsterdam to Bucarest, 4 weeks) we had a ball... love it.
A senhora é portuguesa?
Devo embarcar e gostaria de saber mais sobre a experiência
did you fly back to amsterdam after?
Thanks. We are on Viking Lofn from Budapest to Amsterdam at the end of April 2023. Can’t wait,
This was a helpful video. Leaving in 3 days for our trip down the Rhine!
Hey Danny and Taylor. Looks like a beautiful ship. Will watch and enjoy. Thanks so much for sharing and see you next video.

Wow! Amazing! 😊
Looks awesome
Thanks Danny
Loved service. It is like all cruises, tips are expected at 25 eur day. For a couple it is 300 eur, 7 day cruise.

Like the music at the beginning
Do you have any pictures or videos of the back stairs from the standard rooms to the second floor?
Absolutely love Your video , Goodnight I Hope You have a superb Day tomorrow
Is room service available?

Taylor, are those your drone shots?

We went on our cruise and everything worked out! 😁@@Drew-dg1qr
Hold on, how tall are you mate? Or more importantly how high was the ceiling at the front desk? You were about to bust your head.
I came on here hoping to see the different cabins. Except for a quick photo, there was nothing. Why didn't you show the cabins?
This is the ship tour, and all the rooms and suites are on the channel as well. Each with their own video.
I agree, and the background music was so annoying. Not necessary at all!

Scandinavian decor is minimal and different than you are used to
Which ship is this?
It’s hard to focus when I’m trying to guess how tall you are the entire time 😂😂
He’s very tall
@@fluffytail6355Either he's tall or the ceilings are very low
He said 6' 5" based on another video.
@@ethanjennings6442 ceilings are low as well. I just finished a Viking cruise two days ago.
Is this guy a giant, or is everything else really small?

Curiosity factor…to the man who narrated this video: how tall are you?
Looks like something you do in you’re late 50-60ies
Sounds good to me!
Is this good from younger kids
18 and up allows. There are a few river cruise lines that offer family cruises and they are absolutely wonderful.

If you're not vaccinated... at least against covid... you might not be around for your cruise next year so this may be a moot point.
More worries if you got it. Start researching studies from multiple counties on covid effects.😢
@@davidalvarez1560Maybe she already had Covid so your point is moot.
@@sha200385 you can get covid more than once so you can go sit on a pineapple with your "point"

it's beautiful but why don't they have a gym for a few weeks without sports just sleeping and eating I think I'll give up
no, at every stop you do a walking tour on the river cruise. Their ocean cruises have a small gym and have the typical shore excursion options.
