Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Only one dining area, served at a set time but food was tasty. And they did take good care of us, as vegetarians; someone would take our lunch and dinner orders every day at breakfast and work around our requirements.
Onboard Activities
1 out of 5
No activities on ship except a lounge singer, musician every night with some additional performers in a couple of ports. But then almost every one of the passengers would go off the ship every day in the morning to go tour the local port/town at least for half a day.

Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Everyone was very friendly and very attentive, except one of the male receptionists, who could have been a little more friendly or smile when he saw you!
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
As expected, this is a small ship with space limitations but very well maintained. Our cabin was in the middle of the ship on the middle deck, so we did not have any noise problems unlike someone close to the ship's engine! In fact, we did not even feel the ship move except for a few times.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Small, but comfortable for a couple. Was kept pretty clean, TV had several English channels.
Did the panoramic Vienna, Schonbrunn Palace tour and went to a Mozart & Strauss concert at night. Was expecting a professional opera house concert but it was performed by the Vienna Residence Orchestra (as mentioned in the Viking brochure) and they gave an excellent performance. About 5 or 6 groups of 125 people from several docking Viking ships are brought into an old performance center in the heart of Vienna and each group is given a private performance.
Did the 8.5 hour day tour to the picturesque Cesky Krumlov in the Czech Republic. We were told by the dining staff that the small town was like from a fairy tale! And it is true....since we were here in early May, so it was a cloudy, drizzly day with lush green surroundings all around the small village
