This is definitely the best way to see several cities in a shorter period of time (without packing and unpacking). I personally would prefer to spend more time exploring each port on my own in order to get a feel for each town. The servers and cabin attendants were fantastic. One HUGE negative was the total miscommunication of where the ship was docked for embarkation. That really put a negative

This was our first river cruise and first cruise with Viking. We were impressed with the staff, service, itinerary, guides, and food service. The staff was friendly, professional, and attentive without being overbearing. Chris Smith, our program director, was excellent in providing updates, changes, and daily schedules. Transportation to and from the airport was efficient and timely making the

First Time Cruiser

• Age 40s

This trip was our first to Europe, but also our honeymoon. What a great way to see so many cities while being completely comfortable and not sitting in a car for hours. The boat was beautiful and clean with lots of open spaces. The staff always wore a smile and were happy to help. The meals were delicious. The program director did an amazing job ensuring everything went off without a hitch

This was my first cruise of any kind and I was skeptical that I would enjoy it. I absolutely loved it because the crew was so welcoming and friendly, the ship was very clean, food was fantastic, everything was well organized and professional. I enjoyed the casual dining atmosphere. It was so nice to join other guests that you may or may not know. It created the opportunity to make new

Our first cruise and it was beyond our expectations. Service from Viking from home to home again was attentive to the last detail. The ship was just the right size, the food and drink were both magnificent, the crew was friendly and helpful (as well as personable), and the excursions were delightful. They did a special thing for us at Normandy Beach American cemetery, holding a solemn memorial
