We want a romantic getaway with a small group, no children or pets and a chance to explore European history while enjoy fine cuisines and good wine. With Viking and this cruise, we achieved all of our goals.

Each stop along the way was unique and walkable. We were fortunate to have delightful weather and friendly cruisemates. Each evening, we enjoyed a pre-dinner drink at the bar while hearing about the next days planned activities. Dinner followed with a changing menu each night and a good pairing of wine or local beer. Service is top-notch at Viking and by the end of the cruise, not only were we friends with 200 fellow passengers, but also the bartenders, waiters, and other staff members.

We are saving now to take our next Viking cruise. The tough part is deciding which one of the many Viking offerings will be our choice. Can't wait!
