This cruise was amazing! We visited incredible places-from Venice to Barcelona. The ship was beautiful and the entire crew were fantastic. Every crew member greeted us with a smile. Our cabin was beautiful, clean and so comfortable. The young man who took care of us and our cabin couldn't of been better. All of our shore excursions-the included ones and the optional ones were exceptional-the tour guides were knowledgeable, transportation on shore was comfortable. All of the ports visited were places we had always hoped to visit. We had adequate time to explore on our own and still see the sights included on the tour. The dining experiences on the ship were top of the line in every way-menu, service, dining options. The Cruise Director was unbelievable as were all of the entertainers. Every show was so enjoyable. In summary-this was the best vacation ever! We plan to do another Viking Cruise in 2018!
