Review summary

This itinerary is high in sea days and the ports do not have a lot to see but wildlife. The extension to Iquazu Falls and Rio was the best part. If you book this cruise, book the extension.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

From was great. Since so many classes of room as are the same, we booked our room based upon the location and was very pleased with the value.

Ship tip

Deck 3 is an excellent value and great location on the ship as long as you pick a room over a quiet place like the dining room or theater.

Thanks for the review. One of the Viking cruises we are thinking about in the future. We personally like the Sea Days.
