This cruise was made especially enjoyable as we were with family. But it would have been wonderful even without them. The hotels, especially the Sheraton, with it's sky bar overlooking the city and incredible view of the Eiffel Tower at night, were first class. Meals, both in the hotels and on board Hild were delicious, with wide variety. As always, Viking staff are amazing, friendly, thorough, and overall customer oriented. This was our third Viking cruise and we purchased two additional vouchers so we are coming back soon.

Well organized by Viking, but Charles DeGaulle is awful.

Music provided by Enzo was great. The cooking demonstration and presentation on France and Germany were informative and enjoyable. A medieval music concert was especially entertaining and educational.

No children on Viking ships.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Our staff was friendly, efficient, and meticulous. Hats off to Jane our Program Director, who is a dynamo. Stateroom attendant, Mira, wait staff, Yanni, Caithlin, and Edgar made us feel like we were the only passengers on board. Philippe and Fellix kept everything running smootly and shipshape.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
It should be noted the ship was changed to Hild, but, as always, clean and well organized. We particularly liked the large shower and soft floor lights in the bathroom.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Or cabin was ample-sized, layed out well and with a wonderful view and veranda, even if we didn't spend to much time on it because of the time of year.
Ship tip
Be prepared for long delays and confusion at Charled DeGaulle. Weather was mostly fine, but can be unpredictable this time of year. Dress accordingly.
