Review summary

Absolutely wonderful! From the ship itself to the crew to the food to the lectures to the excursions-everthing was wonderful. Viking earns their number one rating! They take care of the little things as well as the big ones.

Embarkation

Terrific. We were encouraged to check in early which was great. They took our luggage so that we could be out exploring Bergen. When we came back, it was a breeze to enter the ship and grab lunch.
