Norse Heritage

The Norse god Kvasir is born out of peace. When the two warring factions of the Aesir and the Vanir agree to form a truce, they do so with each god spitting into a bowl and stirring the saliva. From this, Kvasir, a new god of knowledge is created. Kvasir embodies all the gods’ knowledge. So great is his knowledge that there is no question he cannot answer. When two dwarves, Fjalar and Galar invite him to feast with them, Kvasir accepts their invitation only to be murdered by the dwarves. They drain his blood and mix it with honey and ferment it into a highly potent mead. This becomes known as Kvas, the Mead of Poetry, that imparts wisdom and inspiration to all who drink it.

Rhine Viking River Cruise

| Basel, Switzerland to Amsterdam, Holland, with extended pre & post stays in Lucerne & Amsterdam
Return flight from Amsterdam on United Airlines wasn't a pleasant experience. Arrived 9 am for 12 noon D.C. flight. Two other flights (Chicago 10 am & Houston 11 am) were lined up, almost out the terminal door to be checked in. United counters not well staffed, not well marked, signage too small (may be fault of airport?) Only 3 counters open. Chicago & Houston passengers being called to front of line, some even missed their flight. D.C. passengers finally checked in. After standing in line for two hours, we were checked in at 11 am to be told boarding started at 11:15 and we had a long walk. United gate D57 was last gate in terminal, no transportation provided by airport for long distances. Almost missed our flight, despite being at the airport 3 hours early. Food on flights was not good. Will do as Europeans do and bring our own food.

Epic cruise experience

| Amsterdam, Cologne, Heidelberg, Strasbourg, and Basel
What more can be said? Perfection!

Hi my name is Andy from San Diego.

| Amsterdam
Fantastic trip !!!

Exceeded expectations

| Antwerp to Amsterdam
Overall a great experience, I know Viking tries to let you know of the difficulty of walking but they need to figure a way of enhancing that wording, some of the guest we were with had a very tough time with the cobblestone streets. Capitan was engaged and will to talk even as he was docking the boat Would highly recommend this

Wondeful Way to Relish the Rhine

| Rhine
Our second Viking cruise, and this one shows them at their best on their new longboats and a great river.

Viking Kvasir, Sail Date Monday 8/5/2019

| Paris France, Luxembourg City, Germany, Switzerland
Overall, a very good experience on the Viking Kvasir. The 5 day extension on land upon leaving the ship was well worth the extra money. The Viking tour guide for the extension (Tina Hudnik, from Slovenia) was great!! The best hotel experience was in Geneva (final 2 nights of the extension) at the InterContinental Hotel Geneve. Viking's land coaches were modern, comfortable, and drivers were highly skilled. Local tour guides had plenty of knowledge, patience, and handled all questions.

Viking cruise

| Amsterdam to Antwerp
Great overall.
