We are previous cruisers with Viking and had thoroughly enjoyed the prior trip. This one went just as well. The small ship with limited guests makes for a very enjoyable experience. Never any lines and you are treated well. We like the casual dress code and food is excellent. The included tours are a great introduction to the area and you always have plenty of time to explore on your own. Crew is very attentive and helpful. The ship is docked right in town most of the day into the evening. You can easily get from the ship to town and back several times if needed. Liked going to the capitals of several different countries including Vienna and Budapest.No kids on the trip and everyone spoke English. We have found that most guests on Viking are from the US. We were able to get the flights we wanted and Viking worked with us on changes. we look forward to future cruises.
