Viking was recommended by friends who had recently been on a Viking river cruise and could not say enough good things about it. They were not wrong! Everything was spotlessly clean, well maintained and exceptionally well organized. The crew were fantastic, very eager to please and we made friends with many of them during the trip.
Have been on sea cruises before we chose a river cruise for the views, locations visited and the much smaller size of the ship. With just 180 guests the whole experience was much more friendly and far less crowded. There was never any issues getting seated for meals or served at the bar or for that matter getting any that you needed. The ample and helpful staff were always on hand to make the trip as enjoyable as they possibly could.
The food was good with a reasonable selection at each meal. Evening entertainment was OK, it could be said that it was a little limited but I felt it was just enough for the type of cruise.
Very clean, well maitained and serviced perfectly.
