There simply was no detail missed by the Viking folks: The web site answered all of our questions; the pre-cruise mailed package included a historical booklet as well as luggage tags and cruise schedule; the perfect air connections; the warm welcome at the Budapest airport and tour bus trip to the ship; our terrific program director David meeting us as we arrived at the dock; absolutely no check in...only cabin keys provided when we provided our name; a welcomed chilled flute of champagne on the quarterdeck; the immediate accompaniment to our cabin by a supervisor; the delivery of luggage as we were being told of the cabin features; the expansive buffet lunch waiting for us in the dining room.....rather than go on and on, simply know that the personal touch was like nothing experienced on our many other cruises from beginning to end.....the Mercedes van delivering us to the Viking representative at the Munich airport that personally escorted us to our check in counter.

Friendly, courteous, energetic, generous.....truly warm service. Alex was easily the most professional and caring waiter we've ever experienced!  The food was excellent, varied and plentiful. The wine offerings with meals were quite good.

The piano player/singer Peter in the lounge was top drawer! The included tours were excellent; the not-to-be-missed optional tour to the Vienna concert was fabulous! Our group of fourteen used the library for private gatherings accompanied by local wines purchased along the trip. There's time to relax on deck and take in the views; time to exercise with circling the top deck; time to nap and recharge. Our cabin (326) was adequate and comfortable...and so well serviced!
