We did a Viking Main-Rhine-Mosel cruise a couple of years ago and were the only gay couple and one of only two non-U.S. couples! We were also amongst the youngest but met a couple nice people to share dinner tables with and had a blast. The cruise was fantastic with excellent food and great excursions!

Can't report yet but will try to remember to do so after we return at the end of April. Hubby and I (mid & ate 50s) are cruising with his college roommate and his husband (early to mid 50s) from Passau to Budapest with a couple of days at either end. All of us are big ocean cruisers but this will be the first river cruise for any of us. My hubby and I had talked about it but had some of the same concerns that led to the OP question so between that and the increased costs we never had booked. When our friends called to say they had we jumped onboard so to speak. We figured if we ended up on a boat full of wheelchair bound homophobes, then we will at least have two other folks to pal around with!

Thanks for your good wishes and I agree with your sentiment about meeting new people...thought I don't find it that hard.
