Overview
In Norse mythology, which is what Viking’s brand new Longships are named after, Alsvin is a horse that pulls Sol, the god of the Sun. This modern-day Alsvin will surely pull you from interesting port to interesting port.
Onboard, there are a few different stateroom options, none more grand than the two Explorer Suites, which offer cruisers 270-degree views of the river and its banks from the wrap-around verandas. Most of the Viking Alsvin’s staterooms include either a veranda or sliding glass windows that turn the entire room into a French balcony.

Viking Alsvin
Our Viking voyage on the Alsvin lived up to everything Viking promoted it to be. My wife and I felt like we were cradled through our first vacation in Europe. In addition to the regular local tours the Program Director added a "leisure" group for those who were not as mobile or fast so they could tour at a more relaxed pace and avoid stairs & hills, and he added an "energetic" group for those who wanted to move quickly and have more free time after doing the tour. Advice to future travelers: watch for the sign-up date for optional excursions and register quickly. We had one fill-up before we did. It turned out to be fine as we met friends that afternoon for a lovely day. I can't say enough good things about our trip on the Viking Alsvin.
Pros: Too many to list here- great ship, outstanding crew & crew to guest ratio!
Cons: The only con was having to pick from all the opportunities since you can't do it all.

Viking Alsvin
The Alsvin is very nice. Seems a little short staffed compared to other Viking boats we've been on. We never had to get our own drinks at the bar in the lounge like we often had to here. One of Viking's selling points is that they dock right in the center of cities. Pretty much true on their Amsterdam to Basel and Passau to Budapest cruises. Paris to Prague felt more like a bus tour than a riverboat cruise. Aside from the 4 hr ride from Paris to Triere and Nuremberg to Prague, we pretty much had a bus ride to/from town every day. Only in one or two towns were we close enough to walk into town. The tours were all nice, but they could cut the time at the palace in Prague shorter since you are just walking around the courtyard. More free time would have been nicer. Overall, it's very nice.
Pros: Nice ports
Cons: Lots of bus time
