The ship was elegant and the crew treated everyone as if you were the most special person onboard. Every crew member seemed to genuinely love their job and it showed in their attitude, greetings and smiles. The countries included in the Viking Homelands cruise were beautiful, very interesting and included adventure as well as education. Food selections were delicious and varied for many appetites and I can’t say enough about all the service including the bartenders. We were amazed at how organized every excursion was compared to other cruise lines we had sailed. The cabin space was roomy even at the lowest level and the bathroom was large and had a great shower plus heated floor. I absolutely would choose Viking again for our future trips. It was our first time away from home for 15 days so we were wondering how it would be, and would we be missing home. Well, we didn’t want the trip to end!
