Thew odyssey lived up to its name, it was an awesome tour, and as the Captain joked, just sit back and let me be your 'designated driver'! We loved it.
Viking Sea Cruise Review to Europe - Mediterranean
Overall the best cruise I've ever been on. Loved almost every part of it, will say Viking has very high quality standards. The large pre-dawn stress of trying to locate the mis-placed luggage was unwelcome and in contrast to the rest of the great VIking service it was very striking, but other than that Viking did an excellent job.

Sadly, this last part of the process became a mess. we were on Green#4, and it started out OK by leaving on time in an orderly fashion. Arriving at the Venice airport, things went bad. We were separated from our luggage, the idea being they would haul it up to the airport lounge which we would walk separately to. The luggage didn't make it, and the real problem was no one could tell us where it was. While the young man tried calling his colleagues, no one could tell us. Several ppl were visibly upset as they had planes to catch, and all we needed was to be told where the suitcases were. Eventually, the man who escorted us simply jogged off and left us. At first i hoped he was quickly verifying where the luggage may have been left, but he never came back. We started frantically running to all different parts of the airport, and eventually someone found the luggage OUTSIDE. it added a lot of stress at 4am, and we did not feel we got value for the transfer we had paid for.
Thanks for yoir detailed review and am glad you had a great cruise. I was surprised about what happened with everyone's luggage. That sure doesn't sound like the service I have always had with Viking on tranafers to the airport. Kind of sad!
