Review summary

We were very impressed with the overall service of the Viking crew and staff. A bit disappointed that we visited so many ports on holidays or Sundays when shops are closed. We did not like dealing with the air reservations and having to upgrade our seats after the fact rather than from the outset. Was a bit stressful.

Our cabin was very comfortable and in a good location. Plenty of storage.

Ship tip

Don't buy the silver package. Not worth it unless you are very particular about your wine choices.

Bornholm, Denmark

4 out of 5

We were in Bornholm for a very short time. We took a bus excursion that included a stop to see a castle but only had 15 minutes to explore. We would like to have stayed there another day instead of spending 2 days in Gdansk.

Gdansk (Danzig), Poland

4 out of 5

We hit this city on another holiday. Tourist area full of ice cream shops and amber stores. The history was interesting. The ship was parked next the World War II Memeorial which was interesting but needs some upgrades.
