The ship was beautiful. We were met at the airport and were brought to the ship. Someone from Viking was there to see to our every need until we got to the airport to go home. We had a morning tour in each of our ports. The guides were all pleasant and well-informed. We not only got to see the towns but were given the history of it as well. The food was wonderful. There was a wide selection of choices for all three meals. The servers were friendly and attentive. The cabin was clean and comfortable. Every evening, there was a presentation about the next day's port and available tours. The lounge was comfortable. There was always coffee, tea and hot chocolate available. I have been on other cruises and none of the others could compare with this one. My friend and I have already booked another Viking cruise for October.
