The cabin was small but all was arranged efficiently. Hildi and Bombay took excellent care of us!

Ship tip

Take good walking shoes and one outfit to "dress up" for dinner.

Ports of call

Venice, Italy

4 out of 5
Did do an excursion to Venice but the ship was docked 1 1/2 hour away from Venice and it took a lot of time just in transport to and from.

Split, Croatia Did not visit port

We did not get to go ashore due to the high winds.

Dubrovnik, Croatia

5 out of 5

Kotor, Montenegro

Corfu, Greece

Fun city tour and shopping.

Katakolon (Olympia), Greece

5 out of 5
Excellent tour guide for Olympia with lots of history of the site.

Piraeus (Athens), Greece

5 out of 5
Only complaint was that there was a national holiday that limited our ability to see the sites the were planned. Greece is unfortunately has a lot of graffiti and trash.

Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey

5 out of 5
Very clean and had wonderful tour of the ruins of Ephasus.

HERAKLION, CRETE, GREECE

5 out of 5

Messina, Sicily

5 out of 5

Naples, Italy

4 out of 5
The port was excellent and had the city tour. Our guide was delightful but unable to give much history of the city.

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

5 out of 5
Port was acceptable, as was the transfer to our hotel. We arranged an all-day tour on our own that was fabulous. Viking did not offer any tours and if anyone did not arrange something ahead of time, there were not any tickets left to see the Vatican museum or the Colesseum and the Roman Forum. Viking needs to change this policy and help people arrange these trips ahead of time OR inform their guests that it is important to arrange trips ahead of cruise.
