Several years ago we had taken the Viking cruise in China. It was wonderful. We decided to take the Viking Star to the Baltic this past summer and were delighted with the service, food, accommodations and, of course, the ports. Especially interesting were the side trips in each port. The guest speakers were interesting and well prepared. Questions were answered quickly and fully in the port talks. The ship was very comfortable and immaculate. Viking had also made the travel arrangements for us. These also worked out very well and were much appreciated. Everything was obviously very professionally done from the fine reception in Bergen to the departure in Stockholm. We enjoyed the opportunity to swim on board and relax in the fitness area. Entertainment was good and well received by most of the guests. There was no pressure to purchase additional drinks or gifts. Perhaps our favorite time of day was when we would go to the Cafe and enjoy the fine dining with service from the excellent wait staff. Everyone helped to make our trip memorable. Thanks for all the hard work!
The cabin crew did an excellent job of keeping the cabin clean and well equipped. The crew was always pleasant and eager to please. They were helpful in giving us hints and information about doing laundry and getting departure times correct.
The guide was good, but the city was too crowded. It would have been better if we had had more time there.
