This was our first time with Viking River Cruise. It was disappointing. My husband and I always want to visit Russia and Viking was the only river cruise line that went there in 2016. There is a pole in the center of the cabin and you have to be careful not to trip over it..
The flights Viking booked us was really bad with 3 connections. They could have get us there with only 1 or 2 connections. We spent long hours in the airport with cancelling flight and changing airline before even leaving the US. You paid what you got with Vikings.
The food choices on board was limited, food tasted horrible and the presentation not appealing at all (always with two green onions on top, but they were not green onions) - didn't know what they were. We have been river cruising many times with other cruise lines and definitely this was the worst. Prawns were just small shrimps and there were no seconds. One of our table mate asked for more and was told initially "No", then later came up with a few. It seemed they did her a big favor.
