We love Viking river cruises and have done several, so naturally we wanted to go with them on a sea voyage. We have wanted to see Noways Fjords for a long time. We also went to Scotland, the Orkney Islands, and ended up in Greenwich, England. We absolutely loved the ship, the decor, the crew, and the food. The lectures and cultural highlights aboard the vessel were enlightening and added true enrichment to the experience. There were even Viking displays of museum quality. We enjoyed the "living rooms" and entertainment very much, as well as the entertainers and the Spa. The excursions, both included and optional were a good variety. One of the neatest things was to go up the Thames River in a Cruise Ship, turn around in the river and dock in Greenwich! Viking built the ships to measurements that would allow just that very thing. To embark, we just stepped on the ship, no lines or waiting, and the transfer to the airport flawless.
