I cannot say enough good things about our recent Viking Longboat River Cruise ~ The Grand European Tour! Everything was taken care of for us including the air. We were met at the airport, taken to the boat and treated like royalty. We loved the small amount of guests (180) & crew (50) and seemed to interact with everyone during the trip. We especially enjoyed getting to know a number of people from Australia, New Zealand & the UK! We spent most every evening after dinner in the lounge listening to Bobby's fantastic piano playing & dancing, playing games & singing along to favorite tunes. During the days we were treated to the sights of each city with a walking &/or bus tour with free time to explore most places if we wanted. There were only a few add on trips cost-wise, and my favorites were Rothenburg...a fairy tale city after a drive along the "Romantic Road" through Franconia and then the evening orchestral Concert in Vienna...just outstanding. The crew could not have been more friendly, kind, informed and considerate. My husband has some special needs and everyone was so very helpful. Our 2 special waiters (from the Phiiippines) took care of him every meal by bringing him his favorite things, helping him get seated and a cheery greeting by name. Our Program director gave us an enormous amount of information each evening before dinner, at special events, as well as on our outings...we were fascinated with all the history. Our Concierge & front desk people were cheery, funny & always more than helpful. Even our Housekeeper was thorough and impecable woman who smiled & cheered us on every day when we came & went. It was truly a trip of a lifetime and we hope to go again to yet another area...Paris/Normandy perhaps?

Room was on the main level of the ship with our own private balcony, which we loved...especially when going in & out of ports
