Viking was first class all the way. Good flight over. Great pre-cruise and post cruise stays in Budapest and Amsterdam. Ingvi and crew were just superb. Loved excursions and just the nights sitting on our balcony enjoying the scenery on the river. Highly recommend to all if you haven't river cruised do and do it with Viking you won't be disappointed. Most enjoyed the daily excursions well laid out with great guides. On board entertainment was fun and culturally awakening. Loved on board lectures and pre-port briefings, very informative and entertaining. Ship was beautiful and very new, just at one year old. Service was beyond compare from front to back. Yeah Viking.
Loved our cabin. Although they are less than 300 square ft they feel bigger. I'm sure the balcony helped. Great bedding, very comfortable. It was our go to place to wind down.
Did a walking city tour and found out many things about Slovakia that we didn't know. Saw first hand they devastation that the Soviet period and the subsequent civil war as Yugoslavia broke up had on this nation and city. But also saw the come back and improvement that is underway.
