I went on this cruise as several members of my family decided to go. It is a great way to travel together but still have options to do things separately if desired. I thoroughly enjoyed this cruise to the Baltic. I had not been to any of the included countries except Germany previously so the cruise was all brand new to me. The Norwegian region is absolutely beautiful and definitely will be visited again at some point in the future. The boat was first class as well as the crew. Everyone was more than willing to help in any way we needed. The lectures were very informative and the fact they could be viewed on the television in the room made it very easy if we missed the live one. The food and wine was excellent at every meal. The choice of restaurants was great- we tried them all! Two members of my family had the need to visit the medical clinic and were treated very well and were taken care of appropriately. Overall, the Viking Homelands cruise to the Baltic was exceptional from my point of view!
