We suffered Viking River Cruise's Forseti for the first of this season's week long cruises out of Bordeaux, France. It was our worst cruise ever, by far.

We have cruised over fifty times, over 300 nights with Princess alone, covering all seven continents and including eight river cruises, three with Viking (Rhone and Elbe in 2012, Duro in 2013) which begs the question - what went so badly wrong this time. Answer - plenty.

Forseti is a new and light and airy vessel, one of Viking's new 'longships' which each hold 180 passengers. Transfers from and back to Bordeaux airport were efficient. Front line junior crew (mostly European) were excellent, cheerful, attentive, without exception. Our cabin was a little smaller than we expected but well designed with a comfortable bed, an adequate shower cubicle, and a 'French balcony' with one of the two full length windows sliding. So far, so good.
