This was our 5th European river cruise and our second Viking river cruise. Our first choice was to go with Uniworld,but they were sold out. We decided to go with Viking because we'd had a wonderful experience with them in China. We took this cruise primarily for the Normandy Region and the history of D-Day.
Viking notes the Pride was renovated in 2009 but it's appearance is still dated and tired. The deck furniture is stiff and uncomfortable. We were told the ship is going to be replaced in 2014.
Pros
#238 close to stars leading to dinning room and sundeck and near the ice machine.
