The Viking Homeland Cruise went to area ports we were interested in visiting. The time spent in each port gave us a good snapshot and some of the sites we would consider returning to for a longer time. We enjoyed the included shore excursions and explored on our own also. The ship was comfortable and simple elegant style with many relaxing areas to relax. We made use of the spa and workout areas. The entertainment was top notch. Our cabin had sufficient storage and comfortable bed. The dining choices were excellent. The evening we ate in Manifreds was a highlight with delicious food while sitting by the window as we cruised out of from Eidfjord. The crew of the Jupiter were outstanding; helpful and smiling at all times. Our luggage was lost and it was not tracked down till two days left on our cruise; Viking provided complimentary laundry service for our limited wardrobe.
