Viking Cruise Critic Review draft

We booked and paid for the Empire Cruise of 50 days two years before the trip began, and before the keel of the ship was even laid. We were lucky to get on the cruise, we almost waited to long, and Barb, the Viking representative was very helpful.

Every cruise we take after this will be measured by this cruise. We talked to several people who have been on Viking's River cruises, and they say Viking has them perfected. It would really take something to be better than this cruise we had on the Viking Star. Read more
