Wanted to go to the Baltic and liked the itinerary Viking offered. Had been on a Viking River cruise and liked it, so thought we would give the Viking Ocean a try. We were very impressed with the ship and the crew. The included shore excursions were very good. The food was excellent.

Viking has brought the same level of service to the ocean that it did for the rivers. I especially liked the fact that it was all adult.
