Paris to the Alps trip now

[milling73]

We are on Paris to the Alps - Viking. We left Paris by bus Monday to Trier. Arriving boat around 6 pm. 
Tues and Wed (today) boat sailed on Moselle. 
Tonight we are informed that we will leave our boat tomorrow morning, by bus to Koblenz then on for a “scenic panoramic BUS DRIVE  to meet our new boat in Strasbourg. We were not scheduled to ge in Strasbourg until Sun. For remainder of trip  we remain on boat as hotel. All excursions by bus. 
our 12 day Paris to the Apls trip is 4 nights hotel, 8 nights boat, 10 days of bus and 2 days sailing. 
Again anyone taking Rhine / Danube trips in next few  weeks CANCEL NOW

 

whoever wrote yesterday that Paris to Alps trip, or Grand European is not impacted by low water levels is lying. We are on this trip and just got off orher. There is no sailing. These are bus trips and the best you can hope for is a boat hotel! A very expensive and disappointing bus trip. 
 

Viking may have lost money in last 2 years, but for sure they are losing repeat passengers or future guests. 

I just heard from fellow cruisers - Viking did vintact them with a sorry it was not what you expected and included a $500 voucher for future cruise. Four long days of bus/hotel, with not comparable room or meals, no choice of being on bus, no spirits package on a $10k trip, and they offer $500.

I am sorry to read this. A disappointing experience. Hope you can enjoy Strasbourg a little despite the situation.
