- Day 1AvignonFri, Sep 04, 2026
Avignon's narrow streets are lined with churches and remarkable medieval buildings. This "City of Popes” was the papal seat for 70 years during the 14th century after the sitting pope abandoned Rome and fled here. The massive church-fortress Palais des Papes, or Palace of the Popes, was the center of the Christian world during that controversial period. It remains a work of Gothic splendor. Another of Avignon's notable structures reaches into the Rhône, the ruins of the Pont d'Avignon. The 12th-century bridge, immortalized in folk song and dance, once spanned the river.
- Day 2ArlesSat, Sep 05, 2026
In the last days of the Roman Empire, Arles was the capital of Roman Gaul and boasts many Gallo-Roman ruins including Les Arènes; this ancient amphitheater seats 20,000 and is still used today for bullfights and plays. The town has an energetic feel, attracting farmers from the countryside to the frequent and famous Provençal market. It also enjoys a rich artistic heritage; the Mediterranean sunlight here inspired legendary Impressionist Vincent van Gogh to paint a number of works. Many of Arles's sights are immortalized in his paintings.
- Day 3AvignonSun, Sep 06, 2026
When the Catholic Church acquired Avignon during the 1300s, it quickly transformed the quiet riverside village into a major religious and cultural center. Evidence of the makeover is everywhere. In addition to the enormous palace, the church constructed a wall around Avignon and provided mansion-like residences to its cardinals. Avignon Cathedral was dwarfed by its neighbor, the Palace of the Popes. Centuries after the papacy returned to Rome, the Vatican called for a gilded statue of Mary to be placed atop the cathedral; her golden gaze still welcomes visitors today.
- Day 4ViviersMon, Sep 07, 2026
The sleepy town of Viviers was founded during the 5th century. This former Roman settlement became a bishop's seat, and conflicts during ensuing centuries required the town to be fortified. With the Renaissance came a more stable period of wealth that allowed many new houses to be built, including a fine example of the era that still stands, the Maison des Chevaliers. Some buildings date back to the Middle Ages, and time seems to stand still along the cobblestone streets of its Old Town, dominated by the 12th-century St. Vincent Cathedral with its beautiful windows.
- Day 5VienneTue, Sep 08, 2026
Situated in France's Côtes du Rhône region, Vienne is the gateway to Lyon's countryside. It is one of the oldest towns in France, with a history that can be traced through its architecture. Among its Roman remains and artifacts, the Roman Temple of Augustus & Livia dates back to the 1st century AD. Its Roman amphitheater, nestled in the hills of Mont Pipet, is one of the best preserved in the nation. Vienne also boasts remarkably preserved medieval buildings and market ruins. Other landmarks include the Abbey of Saint Pierre and the Church of Saint-André-le-Bas.
- Day 6LyonWed, Sep 09, 2026
Lyon straddles the Rhône and Saône Rivers. After Paris, it is considered the country's most significant cultural center. Amid a cityscape of red-roofed buildings, tree-lined boulevards and riverside promenades, the cobblestone streets of Old Lyon host a rich collection of Renaissance architecture and intimate traboules, unique passageways through buildings that connect adjacent streets, all of it overlooked by the grand basilica atop Fourvière Hill. The city also boasts a wealth of outstanding museums, cultural treasures and excellent Lyonnaise eateries.
- Day 7LyonThu, Sep 10, 2026
Lyon is known as the food capital of France. It is not uncommon for well-heeled Parisians to travel to Lyon for dinner. The city is surrounded by towns and villages that produce excellent fresh produce, and gastronomic outlets are plentiful here. The great chefs of Lyon enjoy celebrity status, whether they prepare classic recipes the traditional way or elevate them with their own signature touches. Their delicious meals may be paired with a glass of light, fruity Beaujolais from the north or a bold Rhône red from the south.

Aga was able to secure our balcony room quickly as it was last-minute. Thank you!
Very satisfied with Viking and Affordable Tours
I was a bit of a "nervous client" so contacted Vince several times during the planning stages and he was always, friendly and responsive. Will definitely use him again!
Everyone on the Viking ship were very accommodating. We stayed two extra days and really appreciated the hotel Viking chose and the help from the Viking desk at the hotel.
This was our first river cruise, and we were so happy that we chose Viking. The ship was beautiful, the included shore excursions were very well done, and the Viking staff were exceptional...they made our cruise a memorable experience.
We had a great time. Viking staff was outstanding. Also Affordable Tours was very helpful to my husband, when I got sick on the trip. Also the insurance we purchased was also helpful when my husband called them. The meals and entertainment were great. We met lots of interesting people.
Viking has great service. All the staff is very service oriented. They always make you feel like you are the best group that they ever had on their cruise.
Viking Rhine River cruise from Basel to Amsterdam met our expectations. Unfortunately, the dinner on the last night onboard was very poor and is not what you want your passengers to remember. In all, we were happy working with and would book another trip with Affordable Tours.
I had extensive comments, but your site timed me out. In short, the trip was outstanding. We strongly recommend the Edinburgh pre-extension and the Basel post-extension. Viking did a terrific job.
Viking is excellent. It is not for us. We do not eat at 7pm ending at 9pm, that is far too late for us.
The Viking longship was quite beautiful and the rooms more than adequate. We made use of the upper deck which was quite comfortable after we got back from sightseeing. The food was good, but not gourmet and very plentiful. The included tours had very good local guides.
Viking Cruises has top notch service... including the housekeeping crew, the chefs (yum!), program directors, excursions on land and wait staff. Experience and customer service details are what made the entire trip worthwhile. Not to mention the excellent 2015 new river boat ships. Everything sparkled. Will do it again on Viking, either the China or Baltic cruises.

Trip was fantastic. Aside from airline cancellation and delays, the Viking Cruise lived up to our expectations.
