Fabulous trip with great tours, food & accommodations. It was all above our expectations. We were upgraded to Penthouse category which was a great bonus. It has been our dream to visit Istanbul, Kusadasi, Santorini, Monenegro, Croatioa, & Pula. Spending the last day in Venice on our own at Viking's expense just added to our enjoyment. There were some issues with flights but Viking did their best to resolve them.

Tours were included. This is great since other cruises always charge extra. Our guides were local and knowledgeable. They were able to answer our questions and provide insights only locals would know.

Food was fabulous. Dining experience at Manfredi's and especially the Chef's table were not to be missed. We requested a table for two and were always accommodated. This was especially nice.

Beautiful & comfortable. Lovely balcony view of our destinations.

Istanbul

Really enjoyed the perspective from the water. This was unexpected but a good use of the amount of time we had in Istanbul

Istanbul

Excellent, only wish there was more time to see other attractions.

Kusadasi

Excellent

Kusadasi

This was probably highlight of the entire trip. Only 1/3 excavated! Unbelievable & our tour guide gave us info that made the experience even more fun.
