Very clean ship. Windows were also cleaned at every port

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Beds were very comfortable, and I am very picky. Rooms kept neat and clean. Excellent water pressure.

Ship tip

Relax and enjoy yourself. Viking does it very well. I'd suggest not going in August as France is very crowded!

Ports of call

Paris, France

5 out of 5
Lots of things to see, lots of places to walk. Excursion gave us a good overview. Nothing like having your boat docked very close to the Eiffel Tower to view its nightly light show.

Vernon, France

5 out of 5
Ah, Monet's Garden - so beautiful.

Rouen, France

4 out of 5
Lovely town with lots to see

Les Andelys, France

4 out of 5
Arrived on a Sunday and most of the town was closed. We were, however, able to walk around and see it without the crowds for the most part.

LE PECQ (PARIS), FRANCE

5 out of 5
Malmaison and Versailles, what more can I say. Lots of walking and stair climbing, but able to see so much. Versailles is absolutely amazing. Pictures do not do it justice.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Extremely easy and organized. We were met at CDG airport by a Viking representative who led us through our check-in, got us to our area for assistance and made sure we were well taken care of.
