My wife and I, along with another couple, did the 14 day Grand European cruise. This was our first Viking River cruise and it will certainly NOT be our last. We had a fantastic time.

Our ship, and the crew, were excellent. Sonja was our cruise director and she was very well organized and helpful.

The wait staff was wonderful and they were entertaining as well. They really seemed to enjoy their jobs.
