I have never been to that part of the world and I had always heard the Danube cruise was the one to take. We were not disappointed. In fact, the experience far exceeded our expectations. From the minute we left the U.S. until we returned this was by far the most memorable vacation we have experienced. To experience, first hand, the history and the grandeur of the European ports we visited was truly a series of memorable moments. The staff and crew of the Hermod could not have made the experience any more memorable or fun. They are true professionals and it would be an honor and pleasure to sail with them again.
When sailing with Viking please know if you have any dietary restrictions, they are more than happy to accomodate your needs.
Vienna was one of my favorite stops but be advised, you arrive on a Sunday and other than cafe's and typical street vendors, the stores are closed. That was the only disappointment we experienced and even so, it was still a wonderful experience.
Our cabin was very comfortable and luxurious. Our steward was incredible and remembered our names from the time we stepped onboard. Our room was always kept immaculate and ready for us whenever we returned whether from a short absence for a meal or upon our return from an excursion.
