This was our first Viking Ocean Cruise, but it will not be our last. The ship was new and very luxurious. All the small details of construction were first class from the a/c supply to the beautiful dining rooms. All cabins had an exterior balcony that allowed you privacy and a beautiful view of all cities and the fjords. You never to felt crowded or pressured to buy drinks like on many cruises, but the friendly staff was always available. Everything was well organized and run very efficiently. The food and wine selections were incredible. The open seating at meals was great and allowed us to visit with people from all over the world. The Viking singers, dancers, and musicians were first class and really enjoyed their jobs. All performances were top notch and all entertainers were so helpful and easy to visit with after their performances. The entire two week cruise was like staying and eating in a five star resort. I do not think anything could have been any better.
