We chose Viking to be able to enjoy a relaxing vacation without having to worry about the details. We were certainly not disappointed! The Delling is a beautiful ship, well-appointed with virtually everything that we could have wanted. The crew was outstanding – friendly and knowledgeable and took every possible step to facilitate the enjoyment of our trip. The shore arrangements were excellent – we went on several optional trips (the BMW plant in Regensburg and the World War II trip in Nuremburg), which were some of the highlights of the trip. The open seating arrangements at mealtime made it easy to make new friends, many of whom we met up with repeatedly on tours, dinners and other activities. The food was outstanding – great variety and plentiful. Upon returning, we immediately booked next year’s vacation on another Viking trip.
