On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the highest), I would have to rate the cruise a 15. The crew and service were excellent, the food and wine were excellent, and the shore excursions were well organized. Our tour director was extremely informative, and the chef, aside from producing excellent food, was a real character. The entire staff, without exception, were friendly, professional, and extremely efficient.
Our cabin was very clean and very comfortable.
Prior to the cruise, we spent 3 extra days in Paris. When we arrived at the airport, Viking was there to meet us and get us to the hotel, which was a 4-5 star hotel. They provided a walking tour of Paris, and insured we had no problem getting from the hotel to the ship.
