Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Meals in the dining room were exceptional. We also enjoyed having lunch on the deck lounge.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Very few onboard experiences other than the cruise talks each day about our next port and the evening meal. We had one concert and a historical talk.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
They had a musician who played, but we did not come to this. There was one classical concert, a violin and cello, but only part of the concert was classical.

Children's Programs

No children on Viking cruises

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Service in the dining room was at times a bit slow. It could be they are short staffed, but we often had to ask for a water or coffee refill. Room stewards were excellent.

Cabin / Stateroom

Cabin was smaller than I expected. The Veranda was very small, just room for two small chairs, but we did use it several times during the voyage.

Ship tip

Get a suite if you can afford it. Much larger room.
