In the summer of 2025, we had the wonderful opportunity to do back-to-back river cruises with Viking. The first cruise was on the Rhine River. While Viking's cruises sail in both directions, our cruise started in Basel, Switzerland and ended in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. In this episode of the Real Food Traveler Podcast, we, RealFoodTraveler's Courtney Drake-McDonough and Jimmy McDonough, tell you what to expect from the ship and sailing experience and from each destination along the itinerary.

And listen to our Part 2 podcast about sailing on the Rhone and a post-cruise extension in Aix-en-Provence.
