Holland’s waterways via Viking River Cruises Viking Legend
River cruising is one of my favorite ways to cruise.
Totally different than ocean liner cruising, a river cruise allows you to get up-close and personal with history. Nothing is more fun than floating down the rivers of Europe on a river boat.
A great way to greet spring: a river cruise through Holland’s waterways
To follow is a report from Sandra Marshall, an employee at Viking River Cruises:
I had the pleasure of sailing on our newest vessel, the Viking Legend, this past March through the beautiful waterways of Holland. I cannot imagine a better place to be in the spring! The flowers were beginning to bloom against a backdrop of quaint row houses in the towns and cities and in the fields throughout the countryside. Our sightseeing included visits to the Van Gough Museum, cheese tasting at a family farm in Gouda and Windmill touring in Kinderdijk. And oh yes….we also did an optional guided tour through the Red Light District, complete with Audiovox headsets! Our tour guide never blushed…but I did! Holland definitely is a beautiful, fascinating and “liberal” country!
The food on board the ship was fabulous!
Viking’s new menus offer local, organic produce whenever possible, and a new “healthy choice menu” with health conscientious items to choose from. We have also switched our steaks to USDA Angus beef, keeping with the finest standards that our clients are accustomed to. All meals were complemented by fabulous European pastries and ice cream, complimentary bottled Austrian wine, and exceptional service.
