Friday, 3 June.
No pictures to post today.
Sailed overnight from Breisach to Basel, going through six more locks, for a total of ten on our cruise.
The Viking experience has been outstanding! The staff is amazingly attentive and courteous. Cleanliness is impeccable. Rooms are compact but very efficient. We had a veranda, which we highly recommend for relaxing and viewing the sites. Food was wonderful, and plenty of wine and beer with your meals. There is a Spirits package, but cannot imagine why you would need it. There were at least 3 occasions aside from meals where they served drinks.
We met many interesting people, mainly from the US and England. And we discovered that people from the US who have not been to Oregon pronounce it Oregone!
We did not attend any of the late evening music offerings, as we were too wiped out after the day's tours. When we docked in Basel, we were able to stay onboard until time for the Viking shuttle to take us to the airport. We had lunch with a couple who were boarding in Basel, so could tell them a little about our trip. At the airport, a Viking rep took us directly to AirFrance's checkin. Next time we will consider booking an extension on front or back end; we heard good things about them from others.
We definitely recommend Viking!
