Having followed the early experiences with the ship back in April/May, we were pleasantly surprised that all but the most minor glitches have been resolved. Our sympathy to those pioneers.

We had a great cruise and the Viking ship and staff came through superbly.

Dining was very good in the main restaurant with a lot of good choices. Services was usually outstanding with only a couple nights where they seemed understaffed.
