Review summary

We have done several Viking cruises in the past. This one was again an excellent cruise. The primary thing that I would change is that for some of the excursions that had multiple groups going to the same site at the same time is to stagger the groups. For some of the sites, several Viking buses showed up at the same time. They can easily stagger these and should.

Embarkation
