We are sold on the river cruises because we like to see and visit places, not stay on the ship and veg. So we tried Viking's new ocean cruise somewhat reluctantly. It turned out to be great. We were in a port and seeing great cities and sights every day but one. We got what we wanted. And when we were sailing, Viking did offer great food, entertainment and a nice well-equipped gym - so I could keep in shape for all the exploring!

Viking takes good care of you. And this is important - they don't nickle-and-dime you on everything. Yes, there are some extras for a few options, but you can do plenty with the complementary excursions, so the extras are truly something extra.

Looking forward to cruise seven!
