Sail Date: Jul 2015
Cabin: Veranda Suite

We joined the Viking Eistla in Budapest. First impressions were that this was a smart, well-designed and well-appointed ship and this proved to be so over the next 14 days. The vessel is comfortable and quiet, with good lighting and temperature control. Public areas are pleasant and airy, and the lounge had plenty of space except for the rare occasion (eg disembarkation information) when everybody tried to be there at once.

An attractive feature was being able to choose to eat either in the main restaurant or in the Aquavit Terrace. The restaurant provided a wide range of food for all meals whereas the Aquavit offered a lighter buffet selection and was less formal. We enjoyed the Aquavit for continental breakfasts and light lunches.

Excursions were very good on the whole. The locations were always splendid and the local guides excellent 9 times out of 10. I also greatly appreciated the punctuality of the arrangements - the ship moored and the tours set off at the predicted times.

Cabin Review

Veranda Suite

Cabin AA

The cabin was attractive and comfortable, and everything worked. We also appreciated the regular supplies of water and fresh fruit, and the flowers.

Despite having selected the second largest accommodation class on the vessel, we did still feel slightly cramped however. Cabins are significantly smaller than similar classes on ocean cruises.
