A Rhine River Getaway on a Viking Ship
/It won’t be a historical Viking ship; I’m sure all of them that aren’t in Davey Jones’ Locker are rotted away. What we are doing is taking an 8-day cruise on a ship operated by Viking Cruise Lines from Basel, Switzerland to Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Here’s what Viking has to say about the trip we’re taking. The web page talks about cruising from Amsterdam to Basel but we’re going in the opposite direction because we wanted to extend our trip by a few extra days in Amsterdam.
SPECIAL NOTE: These albums are works in progress. Photos will be added, deleted, and rearranged to update the albums. Some ports of call are missing and will be added soon.
I’ll be posting links to my Google Photos albums for each port of call. I’m skipping the narrative for each day. If you’d like to read my impressions of our spring 2022 cruise up the Danube River from Budapest , Hungary to Passau, Germany with a Prague, Czechia extension just scroll down the page.
Welcome aboard!
Here are a few pictures from travel days October 31 and November 1. On future updates to this post I’ll refer to separate Google Photos albums by “City/Cities - Date”.
