    No, you can’t use points for this, unless it is offered and booked through your credit card portal which is rarely good value.

    You can’t use points but Viking is top-notch.

    We just finished their Christmas markets tour last week.

    They have prime docking in all cities and towns.

    Most other cruise lines had to be bussed into the towns

    AMA Waterways and Uniworld are much nicer than Viking.

    I’ve done about 8 river cruises and those two are where you want to be.

    Marriott is running a cruise with points promo right now!

    You get to cruise on AMAWaterways, which is a nicer, smaller ship than Viking.

    Try Ama Waterways!

    We’re going in 2025.

    All potential excursions at each stop are included rather than just one.

    Bicycles are free to use.

    Fewer cabins on the same size ship as Viking = roomier rooms.

    Brand new promotion for free land extensions on select cruises!

    The only cruise you can use points on is Virgin Cruise (but those aren’t river cruises).

    The only other option is to book a cruise directly with a credit card, and then use points to reimburse yourself.

    Viking has consistently won the top awards from Condé Nast, Travel and Leisure, Cruise Critic and a bunch of other places.

    They are expensive but so worth it.

    We are going on our 8th and 9th with them this year.

    France’s Finest in May.

    You just missed a whole year of them just taking a $25 pp deposit for cruises!

    It was their 25th year.
