Neighbors recommended Viking and have been on many Viking ships including Ocean Cruises. My husband and I have done extensive ocean cruising and were mainly interested in the river cruises.
We did back to back cruises, called France's Finest. Both of the ships we were on were wonderful. We were aboard the Delling and the Rinda. We did enjoy the Delling a bit more than the Rinda. The cruise director, Oliver, aboard the Delling was outstanding.
Both ships were great and we had the same room on each cruise which was nice. Our room stewards were wonderful but the best part of our cruise on the Delling was our waiter, George.
We enjoyed a super fun day in Avignon. We toured the markets, walked all around the town, sampled cheeses and wine and even took a cooking class. Marvelous day.
