We decided to go on a Viking river cruise at the urging of my brother and his wife. To celebrate both our mother's life as she was a frequent Viking River Cruise adventurer and to celebrate my upcoming big birthday! The embarkation was very smooth and the staff was amazing! Our dining staff Jefferson, Willie and Anna were attentive and enjoyable. The food and wine were amazing and the ship was very well kept and clean. The entertainment was fun, dancing and games, port and shore excursions were fun and informative. I loved that there were no children on this cruise, as its nice to have adult time. Our cabin was always kept clean and was very quiet, it was nice to have the balcony to sit out on with a glass of wine and enjoy the scenery pass by. We will definately look forward to another Viking cruise in the near future.
