We have been on many cruises and none are better than Viking! This time, our cruise down the Danube River was amazing. The sights are spectacular. I especially liked the full commentary of everything around us as we cruised the incredibly scenic Wachau. Viking thinks of EVERYTHING. Wine, beer & soda are included at mealtime, (unlike most other cruises where there is an upcharge for this.) Coffee, Espresso, Cappuccino & an assortment of teas available all day long with pastries in the morning and a selection of cookies throughout the day also included at no extra charge. There is an included excursion at every port, which is inclusive of the cost of the trip, or you can choose an optional tour. The food is superb, the staff couldn't be friendlier. Since everything is included, you never get the sense of being "nickeled and dimed" to death, like you do on other cruises. I love everything about Viking and would highly recommend Viking cruises to anyone!
