This was our 3rd Viking cruise and as with our other 2 it was exceptional. Our stateroom was very comfortable and in a convenient location. The crew, everyone of them were wonderful. We began our adventure with a 3 day extension in Helsinki which was very interesting along with a one day side trip to Tallin, Estonia, everything well arranged by Viking. The planned excursions were very interesting and organized very well. We took advantage of the additional river cruises in both St Petersburg and Moscow, additional ways to enjoy the city. We enjoyed the discussion groups about Russian history. As we have come to expect the food was very good and the addition of Russian dishes gave us new experiences. Viking arranged our air travel which was very convenient. When planning our next river adventure there will be no thought to going with any other line other than Viking. This was truly a marvelous trip with a marvelous group of people servicing the Viking Truvor.
