After going on several ocean cruises this was on our list for a long time. We chose Viking after doing a lot of research and chose the Mimir departing Amsterdam on May 27th to try and catch the Tulips in bloom which we did. After the trip we both said that was the best trip we had ever been on. The Viking experience was great from the arrangement of air transportation to the excursions, food, entertainment and hospitality of the ships crew. Already looking to take another one on Viking. The Grand European cruise was all anyone could ask for. Experiencing the different cultures in the Netherlands, Germany, Austria and Hungary as well as the scenic aspect and food was incredible. The excursions that Viking offered whether the included ones or the extra ones that are offered were excellent. Our Cruise Director Niki was fantastic. Will definitely sail with Viking again.
