- Our first cruise experience! We spent an entire week aboard Viking River Cruises' Viking Long Buri, exploring the south of France. We started in Avignon, and cruised the Rhone River all the way to Lyon. Along the way, we ate amazing food on board our Viking Cruise, and also explored cute little French villages, ate loads of French cheese, and drank a LOT of French wine and champagne.
It was a fabulous week, we were also got to meet a lot of new friends aboard the Viking Buri, both guests and the amazing crew! This was a perfect way to experience our first cruise. I cannot recommend it enough.
And, be sure to watch the entire Viking River Cruise video...there's a lot of animals in this one, some of them are extremely adorable!
Overall, I was happy with the food and wine onboard our Viking River Cruise. And, there are a few reasons why I would recommend touring France on a river cruise.
First, France is a hard place to travel. Is it as hard as China? Certainly not. But, at least for us, in comparison to nearby Italy, or Spain, or even Portugal, France is hard. The language is hard.
When it comes to the cuisine, French food is not as recognizable to me as it is in Italy, where most dishes can be considered comfort foods - dishes I grew up eating. Last, France is expensive.
So, what does that mean for the French river cruise experience? Menus are in English. The staff speaks English. French dishes are on the menu, and are explained by the Chef each night. And, all of your food is included. No price tags on menus. It just made for a much more enjoyable French river cruise experience.
I am very happy we explored the South of France with Viking. It made our experience in France easy and carefree, and that much more enjoyable.

Cute video you guys! Just booked this one for Oct. 2017. Can't wait...it's torture. Viking River Cruises are the absolute BEST!! Cheers
Enjoy! You will have a good time, and will eat and drink well ;)
We just signed up for this cruise, except beginning in Lyon. Your video is wonderful! Can't wait for the wine tours! And the cheese! Also, loved your feature of kitties in the villages! Cheers!!!!!
Thanks! Enjoy!
“French champagne” is redundant. But, still a terrific video!
this is long buri
What day of the cruise does the boat actually cruise
I don't remember which day. There was only one long day of cruising. I am sure it is on their itinerary.
What month did you take your cruise? The weather looks great!
Great question! We did the cruise in May. We had good weather for almost all of it, but did have one very rainy day. But, it was a travel day, so it didn't affect anything.
Ama Waterways is better. Was amazing comparing to Viking.
Very irritating music. Sounds like a travel brochure.
