I had spent a week in and around Amsterdam in 2002 while on a Dutch tulip cruise on the Viking Europe, so it was fun to see the city again, even if just for a short time. After our boat tour of the canals of Amsterdam, we toured the wonderful Rijksmuseum. Even though I've been to the Rikjsmuseum three times, each trip I learn and see more!
We returned to the Viking Spirit for the last time in the late afternoon and completed our packing.
Disembarkation was very easy on this small river ship. Everyone was sad to leave their fellow cruisemates who had begun the cruise as strangers and ended it as friends. I came away with my love of river cruising reinforced. These small ships are the best way to see central Europe with an organized tour. Thanks to Viking River Cruises for a wonderful voyage!
