The timing on this cruse was perfect............we took the extended stay at the beginning of the cruse. The hotel and Viking staff the first 3 days were amazing....they were always there to answer any questions. We did take one tour which gave us a quick overview of Paris and then were on our own to explore............

once on the boat.......the process to check in was quick, room was perfect and we were off to a quick start!! The Staff on the boat were amazing and entertaining..........the food was excellent...wine selection......not so good but were able to bring on our own wine from Paris.........Dining was at the same time every night......we always tried to sit at a different table to meet new people......the ports were educational....the guides were very smart!! they knew their history!!! Disembarkation went smoothly.......there were guides everywhere explaining the process at the airport..........even helping at the kiosk!!

yes, we are already planning our next trip!
