Review summary

The cruise was an exceptional experience. The ports, excursions, on board life were all excellent. Other than the lost luggage incident, the experience was amazing. We would recommend spending 2 days in Gdańsk as a single day would not allow a full appreciation of a beautiful city.

Disembarkation

We did a post cruise in Stockholm. We were in a hotel about 1 mile from the ship, and my luggage was lost for 2 days. It was finally found, but we were never given an explanation, and no apology was ever received from Viking.
