We had traveled on the Viking Star earlier this year and enjoyed it so much that when we arrived home we called and booked another cruise! The ship is exquisite!! The decor in the cabins as well as in all the public spaces are nicely decorated. The cabin was spacious enough for the two of us, plus the bathroom floors are heated! Our cabin attendants were very efficient and fast. The food including the specialty restaurants were fabulous! The service was impeccable. My personal favorite restaurant is Manfredi's. As for the entertainment and lectures, they both were great too. The lectures were informative and interesting. The Viking Singers and dancers were amazing, they are a highly talented group and could be performing anywhere. There is a nice gym onboard too and a spa. In regards to the excursions, Viking hit a home run with this too, by contracting with top notch tour guides. We learned a lot about their country and the love they have for it. We will travel again with Viking!!
