This was our introduction to Viking River Cruises; It will not be our last. We traveled with another couple and our experience was outstanding and will leave us with memories far into the future. Our cabin was well appointed and, because of so many other things being available, we did little but sleep soundly in it.
The excursions were informative, well run, and lead by very knowledgeable guides. Viking is to be commended for keeping a great pace to their scheduling. We never felt rushed or forced to maintain more than a leisurely stroll to some amazing sites.
It goes without saying the food was outstanding. Every dinner gave one the opportunity to sample a locally sourced taste delight or make choices from a more standard fare, The evening informational meetings, whether it be a wine tasting, a talk about tomorrow's events, or a more in depth discussion of cooking or a particular city, were interesting to attend.
Our cabin was cleverly designed to be efficient without being cramped. With all the activities, we did little in our cabins except sleeping. It was nice to have the ability to have the balcony and slider to have fresh air.
