Review summary

I know Viking can't help what Mother Nature does, however, we paid a lot of money for not much. We missed Amsterdam, Narvik, and London. We should be reimbursed for London since that was an add on, however, I think we should be given something in return for 1/2 of a trip. This was our third Viking cruise and we would be hard pressed to try another one even though we loved the ship etc.

Everything went smoothly

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was good and there were a lot of choices of where to eat.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

If we were actually sailing to our destinations, I would say the onboard activities were good. Being stuck on a ship for 7 days was a bit confining and there wasn't enough to do. The lectures needed to be varied and the speakers needed to have a personality. Some were too dry.
