We did not want to do a cruise with hundreds of people and Viking offered something smaller and more intimate with a great reputation to support it. From what we had read and heard from friends, Viking was the best choice and we were not disappointed. The ship, staff and experience was beyond all of our expectations. From the moment we arrived we felt that this was what we were looking for as a vacation experience. Viking focused on what our needs were, we were able to personalize our experience and do as much or as little as we desired. Our fellow guests were friendly and people we truly enjoyed spending our time with, many of whom traveled with Viking in the past. We plan to vacation in the future with this wonderful company. Europe has so many opportunities we plan to explore using Viking as our tour guide to the many adventures that await us.
