sumiandkage Posted March 16, 2019 #79 Share Posted March 16, 2019 We've never really had cruising on our vacation list but my parents wanted to take the family on a Viking river cruise, and I'm a firm believer in not turning down something that should be interesting and fun. So we're in for a Basel-Amsterdam trip in June and are DIYing a few days in Bernese Oberland before and Amsterdam afterwards, and I'm starting to get excited about the trip 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much to do in Munich including various Biergartens. A trip to Schwanstein Castle is very recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many excellent museums and palaces, the Englischer Garten, the Viktualenmarkt, Dachau Concentration Camp. The day trip to Neuschwanstein is very worthwhile, as is Salzburg for a day.

HoogieNZ Posted March 26, 2019 #87 Share Posted March 26, 2019 We are booked on our first River Cruise with Viking in November this year "Grand European Tour" from Budapest to Amsterdam and really looking forward to it. We are both in our 50's but we have previously done Holland America Ocean cruises so like the quieter cruise companies :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare boblerm Posted March 30, 2019 #94 Share Posted March 30, 2019 This May, we are doing Uniworld's Grand France, which is 7 days on the Seine on the Joie de Vivre, followed by 7 days on the Rhone on the Catherine. We are taking Uniworld's 2 day pre cruise in Paris. Our 2 previous river cruises were both on Tauck, the Danube, and the Rhine - Moselle. Counting the days!

Rare jpalbny Posted March 30, 2019 #95 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Bob, that looks fun! We did the Rhone on SS Catherine in March 2015. Met a few couples who were coming off the first half of Grand France - at that time the first half was on an older ship. The trip on SS Catherine was great - hope you enjoy it!

need2travel1 Posted March 30, 2019 #96 Share Posted March 30, 2019 We just booked this morning! Uniworld's Castles on the Rhine Basel to Amsterdam on July 26, very excited! I know we'll probably encounter water level issues but that's the date/ pricing that worked best for us (Hub is a teacher so can only travel July-very early August) Any & all tips/info more than welcome!!. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people recommend a shorter trip for their first river cruise. That said, I wish you a wonderful trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
