Viking Ra Cruise Reviews

Words and pictures will never do this cruise justice. It is our 7th Viking cruise and the best ever. Experiencing a culture that is 20000-5000 years old was just amazing. We took the Israel pre-excursion to Jerusalem and Bethlehem which was also outstanding. All our guides were absolutely the best. It is going to take some time to actually process all that we saw and experienced. It was truly a trip of a lifetime. For those concerned about security in Egypt, it was not a concern. On several occasions we had police escorts and we had armed guards with us all the time. Egypt takes tourist security very seriously.

We loved everything about this trip. The guides - Tarek and Walid were wonderful as were the ports. For those worried about security, we had an armed guard with us whenever we left the ship.

Highly recommended to do the Jeruselem pre-tour. This allowed your to meet and bond with many guests, and we remined as a group during the cruise. Overall, the 43 days in Cairo and the cruse was spectacular. We never felt unsafe (we did have armed escorts and police cruisers with us). This was a highly educational, spiritual and enlightening trip. I highly recomend putting this on your bucket list. Viking does a fabulous job.
