I have been on multiple cruises but none with the level of service of Viking. The ship is beautiful, the staff constantly goes out of it’s way to do whatever they can. The public spaces are quiet, uncluttered and beautifully appointed. We never felt crowded and we could be with with as many other people as we wanted. Meals are delicious and huge portions. Outr waiter( which we requested after the first night) was spot on with his recommendation and the wine was refilled constantly. Sometimes it was the little things, robes and slides in locker rooms for the spa, real wash clothes and not paper towels in bathrooms, but overall we felt spoiled. We did not feel pressured to purchase things like photos and art like other cruises the cost was lol up front and not nickel and dimes to death. We appreciated the unhurried pace and were able to relax. If you have never tried Nordic bathing, you must. Alternate hot through either sauna or hot tub, then cold: a bucket shower or snow grotto. I was hesitant but the snow grotto was so refreshing and we felt energized after. We loved the wine with lunch and dinner. Food was great, we really loved the speciality restaurants. Manfredis is a touch more formal with delicious Italian dishes, I loved the Rib Eye and tried squid ink pasta and loved it . Viking we will be back!
