We have wanted to sail the Adriatic Sea and visit the countries bordering.We wanted to sail during a time which was suitable for our weather preferences. We chose a great time! Having traveled with Viking before, we wanted to do this with Viking. The staff was uniformly courteous, helpful and always wanted to know if there was anything they could do to make our trip better. Typical Viking!The boat was clean, beautiful and comfortable with the cabin we chose.Onboard activities consisted of different choices suitable no matter what your interests The dining was a highlight. Menu choices varied with standard repeating selections for those who were less adventurous . Off shore excursion choices were also varied and suited no matter what your interests may be at the time.If there was a problem, it may be that there were so many choices that it was difficult to decide. Finally embarking and disembarking was seamless which eliminated any anxiety about the process.
