We want to go next year for 1-2 weeks, interested in castles, wineries. Any suggestions.
In May 2014 we took an 8 day Viking River cruise up the Rhine River from Basel to Amsterdam. Opted to stay an extra 2 days in Holland. Never been on a cruise before and WE LOVED IT. The ships were newly commissioned in Sep 2013. About 180 passengers and 51 crewmembers. Very well organized from the time to get off the plane until your departure. Guided tours every morning with options for others in the afternoon. The menu varied and region specific. Wait staff and service crew were there for all your needs. Met another couple on the cruise who've been on 49 ship cruises, their first river cruise and said it was the best they'd experienced.
