We’re on the Rhine now from Basel to Amsterdam. Started on the Viking Eir and switched to the Viking Mani yesterday. We left the ship at Strasbourg then bussed to Speyer for our included excursion then on to Cologne. Yesterday excursion to Koblenz and then a cruise through the gorge with lunch on a local sight seeing boat. Everything was handled with super efficiency. Day one we were told the ship switch was likely to happen. We also received an email prior to our trip informing of same. A couple of paid excursions had to be canceled but we will receive an onboard credit - which if it isn’t spent will be returned to our credit card. We also received a $25 pp credit for lunch for the day we were off the ship in Speyer. it’s so sad to see the Rhine so low. Almost no water in places. I’ll see if I can upload an image. The ship switch hasn’t affected our enjoyment at all. Helps if you are informed and educated (thanks to everyone on this forum) and “go with the flow”.
