Discover the Rhine Getaway with Viking: A Journey Like No Other


 


Stunning Scenery


From the moment we set sail, I was captivated by the breathtaking landscapes along the Rhine. Picture charming villages, rolling vineyards, and majestic castles dotting the hillsides. Each day offered a new vista, and I found myself reaching for my camera constantly!


 


Immersive Cultural Experiences


Viking excels in providing immersive experiences. I participated in guided tours that allowed me to explore cities like Amsterdam, Cologne, and Strasbourg. The local guides were incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories and insights that brought each destination to life.


 


Exceptional Onboard Experience


The ship itself was a dream. With spacious staterooms and elegant common areas, it felt like a home away from home. I loved enjoying a glass of local wine on the sun deck while watching the scenery glide by. And the dining options were a highlight—I savored delicious regional dishes paired with exquisite wines.


 


Engaging Shore Excursions


One of my favorite excursions was a visit to a local winery, where we sampled some of the finest Rieslings. Viking’s included excursions are thoughtfully curated, ensuring you get a true taste of each location. Plus, there are optional excursions if you’re looking for something a bit more adventurous.


 


Relaxation and Enrichment


Between ports, I enjoyed relaxing on the ship and participating in onboard activities. Whether it was a cooking demonstration or a lecture about the history of the Rhine, there was always something to engage my mind.


 


Personal Touch


Viking’s small ship size means a more intimate experience. The crew quickly became familiar faces, providing personalized service that made me feel truly valued as a guest.


 


Why Choose the Rhine Getaway?


This journey is perfect for those who appreciate art, history, and stunning landscapes. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with friends, this cruise caters to a wide range of interests.

Another fabulous trip!
Rey has booked several domestic and international trips for me over the years. Each time the experience was fantastic. Rey is not only a knowledgeable and experienced travel agent, he is patient with groups and always provides stellar customer service. The resorts are always fabulous and his recommendations on what to do when we arrive at our destinations make my vacations more enjoyable. I’ve counted on Rey to book fabulous vacations for over 10 years and he always delivers the best. I’ve always enjoyed the individual attention and care Rey provides his clients. He understands the apprehension that comes along with trying new places and is thorough and accommodating as a result. He’s also great at making suggestions on future vacations and I’ve never been disappointed when I follow his suggestions. Rey will remain my travel confidante for many years to come. He’s the best, hands down!

We have worked with Rey for many years and have always enjoyed the experience. Most of our travel has been river cruises in Europe but last year we did a trip to South Africa. Rey is very thoughtful, thorough and responsive.

Rey and the Almeda Travel family have been so good to my family in assisting us in all of our travel needs/goals from beginning to return. Rey has shown nothing but the utmost professionalism, patience,guidance, and quality service that is so difficult to find these days. We have trusted Almeda Travel for the last 5-6 years for our vacations and will continue to do so, I also strongly recommend if you’re looking for an agent/team that is knowledgeable and consumer responsive go with Almeda Travel!
