This was my third Viking Cruise. I love the ship, ports, friendly staff, excellent cuisine. I could go on and on. I just keep coming back for more. Embarkation was well organized and efficient. Love Port Talks. Attend as many as possible. Those not attended were watched on the video feed. The ship was beautiful. It was well maintained and staff were always cleaning, painting scuffed areas. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. Any request was granted. The wines that were paired with the meals were excellent. Let me say that the Gelato was a big seller, always lines at that counter. Food was outstanding and they always offered something new and interesting. Enjoyed the Italian theme one night, the fresh fish fry, all just wonderful. The cruise director was also a gem. She had a beautiful voice and joined in the entertainment. We will keep coming back to Viking for more cruises.
