Well organised efficient interesting and educational. Viking staff are the most dedicated and sincere personnel we have encountered in our cruise experience. The excursions were well planned and executed and the hotels chosen were appopriate. On board entertainment was excellent and not over the top. Food was well prepared and presented .The cabin was well designed and daily maintainence was perfect. In fact we did not meet the cabin staff the whole trip and yet everything was taken care off. The trip director and managers were always welcoming and informative and highly professional. The ship’s captain and crew were confident and accommodating. The daily mooring berths were near to the cultural sites or the transport was waiting for us . This format for cruising provides and excellent relaxing and peaceful experience and attracts like minded passengers that are enthusiastic and adventurous. All in all a great experience and Viking will be our future travel choice. We are booked on Ocean SE Asia and Antartica Polaris. Need I say more?
