Booked this cruise with my daughter as a college graduation present and it was a gift to us both. This was our first cruise and, although I don't have another experience to compare it to, it was a wonderful experience. This cruise line really knows what it's doing from start to finish. We booked air through Viking which was a great price and they timed everything up better than I ever could on my own. We had a pretty good idea of the places we wanted to see but tossed around the cruise line to pick going through about 3 brochures. Viking just stood out and it did not disappoint! The staff, ship and food were better than anticipated. Shore excursions were great and well organized. We WILL be doing this again and the only decision to make will be the destination. Can't wait to cruise with Viking again soon!
The French balcony stateroom was better than I expected. The king was broken down into twins for us which took a little bit more space, but there was still room to move around as much as needed. The bathroom was the perfect size and the shower was a lot bigger than I thought it would be. Everything was clean and housekeeping did a great job. Glad we didn't upgrade to the veranda - the sun deck was too nice to stay inside!
A pretty town!
A rainy day so we hung out in the cabin and watched about 2 seasons of Downton Abby.
