After sailing exclusively on Oceania for 6 years, with 8 cruises on the Marina or Riviera, we read many good things about Viking. So this was our first Viking experience. Overall, it was a wonderful cruise. However, due to some lapses by Viking, the hype appears to be a bit exaggerated.
Ship Design - Beautiful decor...furniture, artwork, even the food plates were impressive. Loved the Scandinavian wood styling throughout.
Cabin - Very comfortable, though there was a lack of sufficient drawer space compared to other cruise lines Ive sailed on. But sine I pre packed many items in jumbo zip bags, there was no space crisis.
