Interested in river cruising in Europe? I discuss the 8 things that anyone considering a European river cruise needs to know before they go.

Viking European River Cruises 6 Key Watch Outs
Viking River Cruises is probably the best known European river cruising company, and has a wide range of river cruise options in Europe. Before you decide to go on a European river cruise with Viking River Cruises, I share with you 6 important watch outs and things I think you need to know. All things I would like to have known in detail before I did a river cruise with them. I explore things like what they offer, the on board facilities and experience, what the Viking river cruise fare covers, which they are best suited for ( and who your likely passengers will be) and the dress code.
Note: I did travel as a guest of Viking River Cruises before making this video. They covered my fare in a 7-night Danube cruise on the Viking Vilhjalm. The fare for the standard cabin would have been £2,645 (US $3,000) including flights and transfers from London Heathrow to and from the ship.

I talk and show you through 4 things you need to know about, like what they are and what is consistent, the range of cabin options, the facilities and (importantly) what they do not have that some other river cruise ships have.
