My wife and I had a beautiful cruise on the Viking Venus. Since the cruise was not at capacity, I felt like we were treated like royalty. Everything was great, no complaints. Our meals and the entertainment were excellent. Our room steward did a fantastic job and was always on time for the spit collection. There were plenty of spots on the ship for filling quiet time.

The Viking provided excursion gave us good background information on all of the ports. While not a complaint, I was a little bit disappointed by the change in the itinerary. Due to the situation in the Ukraine, we did not stop in Helsinki, Tallin and St. Petersburg. I feel that Viking did their best with the substitution ports and we also received additional onboard credits and a voucher for 10% off on a future cruise. We would definitely recommend Viking cruises to our friends.
