Countries visited, the cruise was excellent. Service was outstanding from all departments, crew members were polite and ready to assist at all times. The cities visited were interesting with the excellent guides for each tour. It was nice sitting near the bow experiencing the scenery during the voyage. The small number of passengers was delightful which made it easy to find seating every day.

I would have liked to visit the engine room or bridge but tours were never offered. Both my wife and I worked on a cruise ship, in fact that is where we met, many years ago. She was a beautician and I was an engineer in the engine room for several years, so we were happy with Viking policies and treatment of all passengers. The coordination of tours with busses scheduled was extremely smooth each day. And of the buses were top quality with experienced drivers.
