  • To read more about our cruise, there is a free e-book at sandijerome.com This video is about our first day on the Viking River Cruise - Rhine Getaway. It includes a few minutes of the bus trip from the Hyperion Hotel to our Viking doc in Basel. Then there is a walk to the monument of the three kingdoms - France, Germany, and Switzerland followed by a tour of the boat. It concludes with part of our evening port talk and first dinner aboard the ship.

    Great video of your trip. My Wife and I took the Rhine Getaway from Amsterdam to Basel in the fall of 2021. Viking's service is outstanding.

      Thank you so much - I think we will have the memories of the trip for many years to come.

    I am looking forward to following your trip as I would love to do this cruise. I know Basel very well as I have often visited friends who live nearby, however I never did manage to get to Dreilandereck! Amsterdam is also a favourite destination. Thank you for your filming your adventures.

    Our only Viking river trip was on the Douro river in Portugal. W we had done Viking Ocean few times and the experience was wonderful. We did the river cruise inin early spring of ‘22, and it was less than wonderful. The food was good, but not great. Service was a little hit or miss. The cruise director was frequently drunk, they put us in the wrong cabin to start. I think I had food poisoning once and missed the next day’s tour. I wanted to hear about someone else’s experience with Viking
    River and so I am watching you today

    We are doing this trip in August. I think you were there in September. You look dressed for fall? Was it warm off ship?

    • @sandijerome
      @sandijerome  Před rokem +1

      We were there in Sept and it was brrrrr....but that was because we're from the Orlando area and we shiver at 70 degrees. Most of the others were very comfortable - but we were bundled up. You might notice that in the videos.

    Were there any wheechair passengers on your river cruise?

    • @sandijerome
      @sandijerome  Před rokem

      Yes, but I don't recommend the River cruise - I talk about this in my free e-book sandijerome.com/free/RhineRiverCruiseSandiJerome.pdf - Page 36 - my chapter on Handicapped Passengers - or in print on Amazon www.amazon.com/dp/B0BM3XTVF6
