We were well taken care of on every facet of the trip. The tours were fantastic and educational. The food was the best and there was a great variety of types of food. Transportation to and from the ship were always on time. Viking staff is incredible. They are there to help you with anything whether it's food choices or itineraries. I had particular food issues and every night the matre de would come and go over the menu with me and he would tailor the meals for me. It was greatly appreciated and made my trip just that much more enjoyable. My husband enjoyed it to much that we immediately upon return scheduled another cruise. Barring any health issues, we will be doing at least one or two cruises a year. The choices of cruises are amazing and each one is planned with a great variety of excursions. Viking is the best in the cruising world.
