We wanted to see new destinations in Turkey, Greece and the European eastern Adriatic, and follow it with areas of Italy and the Riviera ending in Barcelona. We have enjoyed Viking River Cruises and thought the small ocean cruise ship was right for us. The ports were beyond our expectations and the included shore excursions were very informative and allowed ample time for further exploration on our own.
The crew was friendly and ready to meet every need. The ship was a beauty and beyond state of the art.
We had a penthouse Veranda stateroom which was spacious with ample dresser drawers, and closet space to meet our needs. The self service laundry and complimentary pressing service we were nice extras and the daily restocked beverages and snacks were more then we expected.
