13 things i hated on my rhone river cruise

Happy Monday friends! Today I wanted to share with y'all 13 Things that I hated on my Rhone River Cruise. Y'all these are very serious. *smiles* I even made an entire instagram reel all about them. (You can watch, like, and comment on it HERE!)

So here they are...

1. The Red Carpet Welcome on Embarkation Day and at Every Port

The Viking Delling Crew are experts in treating every guest like royalty and create such an oasis of a haven in a busy and stressful world that you will now look for this everywhere after your cruise.

2. The Views as the Delling Glided Past Riverside Villages

The views of the different towns and villages along the cruise will have you dreaming of new places to visit and see in this beautiful area of France

3. The Fact that Our Stateroom had a Veranda

This was absolute luxury in every single sense of the way. I can not recommend this enough for this cruise.

4. The Morning Sunrises as We Sailed Along

Seeing the morning sunrises as we sailed along was the absolute perfect way to start each day. I now literally dream of mornings on the Rhone River.

5. The Shore Excursions that were far too Immersive.

The history, the culture, the architecture, all of it was absolutely inspiring in so many different ways.

6. The Beautiful Doors in Viviers, France

The doors in Viviers, France as we walked along were completely dreamy. As I gently strolled back to the ship after our tour, one of the doors was cracked open and the owner was standing nearby. I asked if I could take some pictures of the door and the owner ended up inviting me to go behind the door and walk this beautiful pathway to a beautiful garden. It was absolutely lovely, and now I dream of doors that hide beautiful gardens everywhere. 

7. The Gourmet Meals Everyday Beside Large Picture Windows

The views as we ate each meal were absolutely stunning. Whether we were sailing or docked in a port, they were absolutely incredible. 

8. Seeing the Viking Delling From Afar

On this cruise there were several ports where you can see the Viking Delling from Afar as you are walking back from a tour (like in Arles), or across the river while docked in Lyon. Seeing this beautiful place we called home for 7 days from afar was a constant reminder that the trip was short.

9. The Cobblestone Streets

Y'all know my little love of cobblestone streets, and on this cruise there were ample opportunities to walk them which was absolutely incredible.

10. The Adorable Postes in Perouges, France

I am not sure I need to even explain this one because y'all know I love letters and messages. Aren't these boxes absolutely adorable? If I thought that the red and blue of the Canadian Postes in St. Andrews By the Sea (Canada) years ago were delightful, this picture perfect color immediately grabbed my eye.

11. Music Trivia on Board the Viking Delling

I have attended a lot of music trivia nights on different cruises (and obviously off the cruises also) but this one was so much fun! 

12. The Evening Views of Lyon

The views were absolutely incredible and so delightful. I wanted to get off and go walk around this beautiful city at night. 

13. Absolutely Everything

Since our Rhône River Cruise on the Viking Delling in April I have been asked numerous times if there was anything that I didn’t like about the cruise and the absolute honest answer is no. The only thing wrong was absolutely everything because it was perfect and we loved every second of it. Thank you Viking Cruises and the crew of the Viking Delling for making it truly impossible to find anything that we hated or disliked at all. It was incredible.

Happy Monday friends! Let me know if you have any questions friends!
