"Viking has made that simple ambition very easy with the "Paris and the Heart of Normandy" cruise.The fact that you also see and learn way more than you expected is the "kernel" that makes Viking so special...."Read More
Friendly, attentive, & professional crew worked very hard. Veranda room was nice with the huge windows, but we won't get that again due to the noises from on deck above. Someone was moving chairs up there, so we couldn't sleep. We could even hear footsteps... sounded like someone in heels. The only real disappointment was the paid excursion of Paris, where we were on the bus so much we never got ...
My wife and I took a New England cruise out of New York a few years ago and had a good time and saw interesting things, but it did not compare in the slightest to a river cruise on the Seine with Viking. The sights on the tours were amazing and wonderful, but just sitting on the balcony and watching the French countryside go by was also great. There were a large number of swans on the river and ...
What a wonderful way to see Paris and the Heart of Normandy! This was our first Viking cruise and it was just magical. We honestly couldn’t think of a better way to do it. Viking goes out of your way to make you feel at home when away from home. We are in our late 30s and had such a wonderful time meeting people of all different ages, there truly is something for everyone. Every excursion was an ...
We chose this river cruise so that we could see Paris, the Normandy countryside, and visit Omaha Beach without having to drive or lodge in multiple hotels. It was great to have the cruise and excursions in English as well. Everything went according to plan, and we enjoyed the trip immensely. Pickup from and return to the airport were extremely helpful and the service on the ship was very good. The ...
Our previous experiences with Viking had all been better than we anticipated and this was one of the best ever.
There were almost seamless issues from the pickup at the airport, the drive to the cruise dock, the warm welcome at registration, the light buffett offered in the lounge and the final access to stateroom . Always attention to detail, awsome and friendly service and a very relaxing ...
This one was chosen especially because of the visit to Normandy.
The ship was extremely clean and cleaning personnel were pleasant.
All the guides were very professional but personable. Th extent of their knowledge was remarkable. We enjoyed our little bike ride to Monet's home and garden. The sunflower fields were beautiful.
We enjoyed our food tour in Paris. Riding the Metro for ...
This was a great opportunity to see Paris and Normandy in one trip. The crew was exceptional; they were all attentive to every need. From the staff who maintained the cleanliness of the cabins to the wait staff they were on their mark every day. It was also great to see the Captain frequently walking the ship and connecting with passengers. The highlight of our cruise was our Cruise Director, ...
We got a swan room which was fine as we were there to sleep alone. The crew was amazing I have a gluten allergy and they went out of their way to accommodate me. The lead waiter even went off ship and bought me gluten free chips. This was our anniversary trip and they provided us with a huge flourless chocolate cake to celebrate. Honestly above and beyond is an understatement. Only one bad item ...
We chose this cruise because we’ve heard wonderful things about Viking , we’ve always wanted to go to Paris, and Viking was offering free air fare, which was just the icing on the cake for us.
The ship was clean and well set up, the staff was absolutely amazing, and the excursions offered at each port were well done. Our cruise Director Mia was absolutely phenomenal, she seemed to be everywhere ...
I chose the "Paris and Heart of Normandy cruise. I loved every minute of it! The food was amazing. I never missed a meal and was never disappointed. The coffee on board was wonderful. It was available all day and there was always different types of creamer and flavorings to add to it. The chocolate cookies were so good and perfect for an afternoon treat. Wish I had one now! The staff went above ...
