We arrived at Charles DE 'Gaulle airport from the US and once we found our way around, the Viking "people" were right there to get us to our destination. Once on the ship (Viking Rinda) we were amazed at how quickly things were ready for us to start unpacking and enjoy the rest of the cruise. All of the staff were EXCELLENT and we felt very comfortable right away. The cabin was at water level but, very nice and we knew that long before we got on. (never planned to do anything but sleep there anyway.) We were certainly kept very busy for the entire cruise and took many tours to see as many places as we could manage...Yes we were tired by the end of the day but, that's what we signed up for! The tour guides were very knowledgeable and we really liked the headsets for the tours. (it was great to not have to strain to hear all of the tour guides comments and such) Our Cruise director was thorough making sure everyone was where they were suppose to be and when...The crew was very friendly and helpful and we had a lot of fun with the dinner staff during meals! I am looking forward to the time when we book another one of these tours and We will definitely do this again! (when time and finances allow of course)
