We had never been to Europe and had heard excellent things about Viking river cruises. We decided to take the Paris to Normandy cruise and are thrilled we did. From the moment we were picked up at Charles De Gaulle Airport, until we were dropped off at the airport the following week, we were treated in the finest manner. The ship was clean and very modern. We had a French balcony room. Though somewhat smaller than we expected, it was always clean and utilizing under the bed storage for our luggage we maximized the size of the room. We appreciated the heated bathroom floor, as well as the excellent quality of toiletries that were always replenished. It was a nice touch to have bottled water in our cabin, replenished daily.

We enjoyed our dining experience. The food quality and choices were excellent and we enjoyed our wine choices. We met many delightful dining partners, many of whom we have kept in touch with. The dining staff was excellent and helped make each meal special. We enjoyed having an outdoor breakfast and lunch on the Aquavit Terrace. The buffet choices were plentiful. We enjoyed the entertainment, particularly the pianist and many of the interesting lectures. The cooking class where we learned to make a lemon tart was enjoyable.

A highlight of the trip for us was the excellent shore excursions. The program director made sure everything ran smoothly. We found all the tour guides to be excellent with a wealth of information to share. We particularly enjoyed our trip to Monet's Garden and our visit to the American Military cemetery will not be forgotten. We took advantage of some of the special tours, like the trip to The Louvre, Versailles and the tour of Paris at night and they were excellent. We also took advantage of the free shuttle ride into Paris, where we enjoyed exploring the beautiful city. Our vacation was outstanding and we look forward to sailing with Viking again.

Though smaller than expected, it was always clean and we maximized the space by storing our luggage under the bed.
