I chose this cruise because the itinerary included many of the stops on my bucket list and I had heard good things about the Viking cruise line. We were not disappointed! The ship is beautiful with many amenities and helpful enthusiastic crew members. The excursions were well planned and informative. Many things are included in the overall price which makes for a more relaxing, fuller experience. The dining option were plentiful and we enjoyed every meal. Not wanting to miss an opportunity we were exhausted by the end of our sail but would do it again in a heart beat! We had been warned in advance that the Viking line caters to an older clientele. In our early 50's we were on the youngish side but everyone is so friendly and the atmosphere so relaxed that it is incredibly enjoyable. If you are more interested in the ports and the history than in dancing the night away this is the cruise line for you. (Not that you couldn't dance the night away but I was always ready to head to the cabin so I would be fresh for another full day in port.) Every detail is seen to by the Viking staff. There are pre port talks on boards and water bottles and hand cleaners provided as you leave the ship. We are anxious to plan another Viking cruise!
Well equipped cabin with lots of storage space. Binoculars, walkie talkie system for excursions and steward sevice sets these cabins apart from other cruise lines.
