Day 2, Strasbourg
The boat moored at around 08:00 with the included shore excursion 'Strasbourg' Highlights' leaving at 09:00. Rain was heavy so we decided not to take the tour.
For lunch we chose Morwald's Sauvignon Blanc 2021 (Austria, Wagram) with pleasant memories of visiting the winery on a previous cruise and Erhard Morwald imploring us to drink more of his wine on Viking.

Rain had let up so we took the 14:00 shuttle bus into Strasbourg but on the journey the heavens opened again. Krisie and Dan were made of sterner stuff and got off the bus to explore Strasbourg on their own, when we returned to the ship. The rain stopped shortly after and Krisie and Dan had a good time.
At 18:15 their was the safety drill. The room steward had taken our lifebelts out from under the bed, and because of inclement weather we mustered in the lounge, instead of the top deck as in past times. I'm not sure how much practical use this exercise was.
With dinner we had Francis Coppola's Diamond Collection Zinfandel 2020 (California).
I had Slow Cooked Beef Short Ribs, which I expected to have bones, but there were none, just very tender succulent meat.
After dinner we went to the lounge to listen to guest musicians, the Fouli Tchay quartet playing French swing and jazz.
At 22:30 the boat left for Speyer but we were asleep by then.
