Viking Rinda

A lovely cruise along the Seine with great ports of call and wonderful excursions. The scenery was spectacular, and the included and optional tours were all very nice. We especially enjoyed our tours at Normandy Beaches, Honfleur and the Monet Foundation. Our on-board experience was top-notch— great, friendly service and great food & beverage.

We really enjoyed everything about our Viking River cruise. The staff was attentive and went out of their way to exceed our expectations.  The tour guides were fun  and knowledgable and added so much substance to everything we were seeing. Our tour director was marvelous, and I never saw him without a smile on his face. It was an excellent experience and  my husband and I are looking forward to booking another Viking Cruise in the future. Viking has picked the right person for every single job on the ship!

The Normandy beach day is very special.  Monet's garden in Giverny was a knock out.   Paris will always be Paris!!!

The Program director and crew were outstanding, very high quality of service and cleanliness.  The food was the best of any of the river cruises we have been on.

It was a real pleasure to sit on the upper deck as you watched the world pass by.

The climb to the castle ruins in Les Andelys was much harder for anyone who lacks stamina or has heart problems. 

The boat was very comfortable and the staff was excellent: friendly, helpful, courteous,and fun.

They made necessary changes to our trip because of Seine flooding.  They went "ALL OUT" to get us to our scheduled places with ease.  The river caused the crew to work hard with unexpected weather and logistics problems but they did a fine job of this.

Of the 7 days, three were good. Normandy, Giverney, and the day of Lourve and Versalles. The other 4 days were pretty boring. Ship is good, crew is outstanding but I would not recommend the itinerary.  

We got a last minute email from Viking telling us that the embarkation point was not in Paris as advertised but in LePecq, 35 miles outside of Paris. Turns out, according to some of the crew, they've been using LePecq for months. If it wasn't for the fact that we did the 3 night Paris extension we wouldn't have had a chance to see Paris at all.
