This was our first Viking river cruise and it certainly did NOT disappoint! We chose Paris to Normandy because we wanted to see the city of Paris, the French countryside and the beaches at Normandy. The staff was amazing! The meals were beyond delicious and each meal was a delight with the waiters serving our table! The entire week was very well organized, definitely not their "first rodeo" as our cruise director told us! The tours were wonderful with small groups and the tour guides were great! I also loved the headsets they provided so we could hear every word! The icing on the cake was when they took us to the airport by bus to catch our flights home there was a Viking representative there to meet us and make sure we got our boarding passes and showed us the way to our departing gates. They didn't leave a stone unturned! A most enjoyable week and we will definitely be cruising with Viking again!!!!!
