This cruise is fantastic! The only thing I could possibly want is a longer trip! Most people who choose Viking are doing so for the cultural enrichment, that being said all rooms above the Veranda include all the same amenities (Nespresso machine in the room, robes, slippers, etc) so we chose to splurge on things off the ship because the service, food and experience on the ship is fantastic regardless of your room category. The only exception is their bottom category Veranda doesn’t have the Nespresso machine, robes etc. One of our favorite things is visiting with the staff and hearing where they’re from. We were consistently told how much they like being part of the Viking team and it shows in the way they treat the guests. One minor disappointment was the included tours didn’t offer as much opportunity as we prefer so we spent almost $3K in extra excursions (which were fantastic and worth it) but we didn’t initially plan on that expense. We did have an opportunity to go inside many of the other cabins and it confirmed to us that we made the right decision to book a lower category room and have extra money for the places we were visiting. We are already planning our next trip with Viking.

Cabin Review

Our cabin was great and our room steward kept us well stocked with anything we could want. Most of your time is spent exploring the culture so we decided to save money on the room and splurge on extra excursions. Now that we’ve seen the other rooms it was the right decision for us. The only thing the other rooms had that we didn’t was more square footage but the amenities are the same.
