Review summary

This was our first river cruise, and our first Viking cruise. We loved every minute, and can't wait to come back.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy, fast, and seamless - including the mandatory COVID test.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food was outstanding, and there was a new menu every day. Good variety, with options for all tastes.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Not the level of activities on a typical ocean cruise, but that was to be expected. We had a piano player in the lounge, and regular evening enrichment programs - everything from local musical groups to a glassblower. All were excellent.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Just a piano player. No dancers, DJs, or comics - and that was fine with us. Our evenings were the enrichment program, piano music, and drinks and conversation with new friends.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The service was outstanding across the board. The staff quickly learned our names and preferences, and they made sure our needs (and wants) we're immediately met.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Good, efficient layout. Everything was impeccably clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was roomy (by ship standards) and efficiently laid out. The heated bathroom floors were nice, as was the stocked minibar. Free laundry with a Veranda Suite made packing lighter and easier. The location made for way access to the atrium and lounge.

Ship tip

Go for it! You will not be disappointed!!
