My friends needed one more and invited me. Am so happy they asked, and even happier I said yes.

Being my first European trip made this even more special and Viking made sure the trip was nothing less than sensational. Viking stands head and shoulders above the cruise personnel in other shipping companies. Outstanding. Friendly employees (so many other shipping companies have downright sour employees), happy...and it seems to be REAL, helpful...soooo helpful with such a pleasant demeanor.. The personnel simply couldn't do enough for us. And they worked with such terrific attitude. Before each port we'd inquire as to any suggestions they had for personal favorites at that port and they happily gave us many hints. So sweet.

The tour guides were fabulous...spoke very well in what was not obviously their first language (english), and worked hard at enunciating. Rarely did I not understand a word. They were so gracious and accommodating as well. Was blown away....and again say there is simply no comparison to other cruise lines. The buses and transport vehicles were absolutely immaculate.....fresh and clean smelling. Wonderful.

Cabin Review

The cabin was immaculate on embarking and remained so due to wonderfully competent cabin stewards. These people were also so friendly by the end of the cruise I felt I was leaving friends. Everything that could be done to make our experience in this cabin comfortable was....and with a smile....a genuine smile. We had a veranda cabin and found it exceptional. It is very special, of course, the size of the balcony was very appropriate and we could see everything we wished to see from that side of the ship.
