The choice of ports, the small, Stavenga To the large St. Petersburg were educationable and memorable. Each experience was unique unto itself. We loved the continuous and varied choice of music. The spa and its amenities were truly a treat. My wife loved the vmassage and I loved the snowroom and sauna.Even though you can't control the weather, it added to the cruise. Our weather was fabulous! The food choices were varied, and extremely well prepared. Every night, there was an area dish from the port we were in. The wine, red or white, was included with the meal and was complimentary, well chosen,and was different every night. As we are not drinkers, we did not take the baverage package. We made our own arrangements for some of the tours and found them to be more directed to what we wanted and less expensive.

When all is said and done, this was our fourth Viking Cruise, and we are already planning our fifth... trophy Australia and New Zealand.

When you get off a cruise for fifteen days, and have nothing significant to complain about. It's great to look forward to the next cruise on Viking.
