Review summary
Excellent cruise experience! I loved my Viking River Cruise experience and want to travel on one again. Although I was not the average age demographic of guest (I am in my 30s, most guests are 40+) I had a wonderful time with my family and made new friends. For a bit of travel advice, I would not travel on Easter weekend to Europe again because unlike in America where our Easter holiday is typically 1-2 days off, Easter is the largest holiday across the board in all the countries visited. (Starting on Good Friday through Monday and in some places, Tuesday) It was disappointing to spend a huge amount on a travel (and a 3 year reschedule) to not get to experience more local shops, cafes and museums because the majority were closed. However, this did not hinder my travel experience by much, as it was wonderful to take long walks around the beautiful cities and experience a different part of the world. The tours and excursions were excellent and I learned a lot. This will not be my last Viking River Cruise.Embarkation

Ship tip
Viking Cruises are very scheduled and activities start early. Be on time! If you want to experience local things in your free time, do some research beforehand so you can calculate how much time you have before disembarking to the next port.
