This was our very first trip on Viking, and our very first trip to Europe, and we wouldn't have changed a thing. From the time we landed in Nuremberg, to 8 days later when we were taken back to the airport, we were treated like royalty.
*The staff was absolutely wonderful and attentive to all of our needs. Our Program Director, Terry, was beyond terrific. He made us feel comfortable and at home from the very first day. He remembered our names when we passed him on the boat, and always took the time to talk to us and answer our questions. The same can be said about our Concierge, Cristina. What a joy to work with.
*We took advantage of all of the shore excursions, and enjoyed all of them. The daily schedule was planned out very nicely. It gave us plenty of time to explore the city on our own, or take part on an added excursion.
We booked last minute and had a very limited budget to work with. We were pleasantly surprised by our stateroom. Yes, it was smaller, with no veranda/balcony, but seriously, we had what we needed and then some. Every little space available was usable space...right down to the bathroom.
If we had to pick a favorite port, we would definitely pick Regensburg. It was a quaint little town, with the feel of old time Europe
