Thank you all for the great feedback. I'm more than convinced that any kind of biking for our senior group would not be in the best interest of having a happy ending to our 1 day cruise stop in Amsterdam. I think we'll stick with trams and our good ol' feet to get us around. I'm sure our wive's will find plenty of things to spend the money on!!!

Do you know the cost? Also, I see that you are from the area. Any suggestions on electric bike rentals near the port. We are family group of 6 (65 to 75) and still capable of biking safely. It may be a good idea to have a guide for our small group, but would also entertain doing a self tour. Appreciate any local advice.

Thanks for the great advice

Thank you!

Hello Informed River Cruisers. I am planning my first trip to Europe to take a Viking River Cruise. I have traveled all my working life (all in the US, Mexico and Caribbean). I've been on 25+ cruises (Caribbean and Alaska) but never to Europe. Just a few questions. Is it a good idea to get to Amsterdam a day or two before the cruise, or is it safe to arrive on the day of departure? We are doing our own flights on Delta (non-stop from Orlando) so is it a good idea to arrange transfers to the port with Viking or just do our own? What is the biggest mistake(s) first time River Cruisers make? Is September a good time to do a River Cruise (Antwerp to Amsterdam or vice-versa? Thanks for whatever help you can offer.
