Have traveled to over 30 countries (Asia,Canada,Europe, S. America & Alaska) but only Iceland in Scandinavia! So, discovered this extensive, well priced cruise with Viking! My wife and I were "blown away" by the overall amenities of the vessel, the caring, friendly crew and the unique design of our ship! Never experienced such genuine, kind, caring to every detail from each and every crew member! Our ship was maintained in "spotless" detail throughout our journey. From greeting us at our arrival airport in Bergen, Norway until our departure in Stockholm Sweden positive, overall experience was beyond our highest expiation. The food selection, service and quality, was the finest we had ever experienced on any previous cruises with other cruise lines! The design and beauty of our vessel was truly breath taking!

Having a laundry facility on each deck was/is unique to Viking also, especially when taking a 10 day+ trip. Other cruise lines charge for laundry services, but not Viking! Which naans you will not have to pack so many clothes fro the longer journeys. Additionally, the free, "included" trips at each port resulted in big savings and ease of selection. The inclusive airfare and "to & from" planning, plus Viking's staff meeting & greeting you upon arrival at your departure port was/is flawless! In short "they do it all"! All we had to do was print our flight boarding passes and show up at our local, small town airport! Have now booked our second cruise for this year with Viking, traveling to China and japan from Hong Kong on October 6th! Can't wait for our second Viking cruise experience!!
