The Grand European river tour in April-May 2013 was our 2nd tour with Viking. The first was the Roof of the World tour in China and Tibet. We booked the European tour based on our very good experience in China. Overall we were disappointed by comparison.
First the good points:
• Crew and staff were great-well trained, enthusiastic and knowledgeable.
We had suite which consisted of a small sitting area with couch and a bedroom with a nice size bath attached. the room was reported to have about 270 SF, but it seemed smaller. However, the room had a French balcony and a veranda. The room was comfortable and the staff that attended to the room were great. Some passengers complained of pipes rattling and loud noises from toilet flushing, but our room on the 3rd level was quiet.
