We thoroughly enjoyed this cruise to Malta, Croatia & Montenegro with Viking! Everything was done with excellence -- the food was delicious, the cabin was spotless, the entertainment was well done and excursions were top notch! There was a nice variety of places to eat and many fun unique foods to try. High tea in the Wintergarten is a nice refreshing classy touch. We especially appreciated the size of the ship -- it had a more intimate relaxed feel than some of the larger cruise vessels. The crew were very friendly and the cruise director mingled at the gatherings trying to get personally acquainted with each guest. We were one of the first cruises to sail since the pandemic and we found their safety protocols were reasonable and non-intrusive. You could tell they had made an effort to incorporate those in such a way that they did not interfere with the ambiance of the ship or experience. We are sticking with Viking from now on!
