Regarding Viking River Cruise (Rhine) & disability aids in visiting Germany
Hello all - I am taking a Viking River Cruise next year through Germany with my mother; I do not require a wheelchair, but using a mobility electric scooter to help me reduce the walking on the excursions would be a huge help so that I can see more. Otherwise relying on my feet and my cane, I will have to miss more.
Viking told me that a motorized wheelchair/scooter cannot be brought on board, period. Not even a folding one. I found at least one website for rentals of such items but I am not sure how easily a day rental of such a thing can be done in Germany. I am trying to contact that company, but thought I would also ask in case others have had experience.
Alternatively, if anyone has done the Rhine 8-day cruise and can give me any insight on how strenuous these excursions are and what I can expect, that would also help me plan.

Donβt go into the Rhine river (major rivers in general), not even knee deep!
I just now saw a news report similar to the many reports that are sadly common place every year when the temperatures go up come summer. 3 teenage girls were sucked into the currents yesterday while playing a ball game with friends. A 17 year old was rescued but ultimately passed away in hospital and two younger girls are missing since yesterday evening but are now presumed dead as the rescue effort has been discontinued by authorities.
The Rhine is not a natural flowing river! It has been straightened to allow for better commercial shipping conditions and as a result a larger volume of water flows through a narrower and deeper riverbed, creating unpredictable and extremely strong currents.
I grew up close to the Rhine and was always told about the dangers of it but I feel like many others are less aware of the risks so I urge everyone to pass on information about the very real dangers of rivers like the Rhine.
Last year the most tragic story I remember was two children who didnβt know how to swim going in close to the shore and getting picked up by the current. This year the story I mentioned above is the first major news story about it but thereβs many more to come sadly.
Pass it on, donβt EVER go swimming in the Rhine!
Edit: Unless youβre in a marked, ideally supervised, swimming area

Took some pictures of the Neptune fountain in my hometown Berlin at dusk. Thought it might be interesting for the Poseidon/Neptune worshippers, the four lovely ladies around him are supposed to represent the big Prussian rivers: Elbe, Oder, Vistula and Rhine. Built in 1891.
