We chose Viking because we previously enjoyed a river cruise and an ocean cruise. Viking does not disappoint! Our stateroom was beautiful and the ports (with excursions) were fun and interesting. Our stateroom personnel (Tito and Allen) were VERY competent and attentive - our room was cleaned twice a day (I am spoiled!). We enjoyed three very fun and informative wine tastings, thanks to wine steward, Vladim. We enjoyed seeing Argentina, Chile and Uruguay and learning from residents of each about their history, culture, and life styles.

The evening shows were great and varied. Personally, I was very happy with the beautiful Christmas decorations since we were away from all the celebrations at home. The gingerbread house were wonderful. Read more
