We liked the size of the ship. It's layout was very easy to navigate and the itinerary was just what we were looking for. Our cabin was very comfortable with a great lay out and a beautiful , sleek color scheme. We really enjoyed our veranda in the early morning and late at night sitting quietly and reading. The food was incredible and we enjoyed the specialty restaurants to the utmost. High tea was extra special with it's accompanying music. The pools were wonderful and I especially liked the ice room and hot tub. The entertainment was very enjoyable as well as the lectures. The service was outstanding and met our every need with a lot of personal attention. The staff was most accommodating, friendly and courteous. The ports and shore excursions were very good, but we really could have used more time in at least two of the ports. We highly recommend the Viking Ocean Cruises as well as their river cruises.
