The ports in Germany exceeded my expectations! It is such a beautiful country. Prague and Paris were fabulous! Our program director, Andrew, was the best we have ever had on any river or ocean cruise and we have cruised over 30 times. He took the time to meet and to talk to everyone individually during the cruise and did what he could to ensure that we were happy.

Viking has stepped up their food and the meals were outstanding!!! Breakfast was the same as past cruises but the lunch and dinner meals were noticeably better than the previous cruises.

All of the local tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and most had history backgrounds. I would definitely take this same cruise again but perhaps add a 2-3 night extension in Paris. Since this was my first trip to Paris, there was just so much to see and one full day was not enough. The stop at the American cemetery in Luxenbourg was moving. We especially enjoyed our lunch with the university students in Heidelberg. Every stop on this cruise is a gem and not to be missed. We had booked this cruise 2 years ago and then Covid hit so it was long overdue.
