Review summary

River Cruises are different than ocean cruises. The ship is really where you sleep and eat. It's not an activity center. You go for the Ports of Call. As long as you know this, you will enjoy it. And Viking is the best. Yes, there are others less expensive (and there are some more expensive.) But Viking is the choice for quality and service.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food was fresh and delicious; Service was outstanding.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

River Cruise - not really much to do on board

Entertainment

3 out of 5

On board singer was average

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Could not have been better - from dining room to cabin service. Anything and everything we needed was provided quickly and "with a smile".

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Extremely clean

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

For a River Boat, this was a great cabin. The extra "sitting area" really came in handy. The bathroom, while not big, was more spacious than most.

Ship tip

If you can afford it, go for the Veranda Suite
