We had a great time! We were met at the airport by Viking staff who were a tremendous help when our luggage was lost by Air France. This is the ONLY airline who has ever lost our luggage. Viking personnel were diligent in tracking it down and working with the airline to get it delivered to us even though our port continued to change. Even better Viking provided us with some of the essentials we were without due to this mishap.
All the personnel were Marvelous! They were knowledgeable about each port and provided information about their favorite places to visit in each port. We really had a chance to enjoy the real culture based on their expertise and not the tourist traps.
The food on this voyage was wonderful. Upon returning from each excursion we were met with some form of refreshment. Meals encompassed a variety of local fresh foods and wonderful culinary skills. The tour of the kitchen was lots of fun. It showed how much could be done in a limited space.
Our cabin was far more spacious than expected. We didn't have to worry about bumping into each other or where to put our luggage. The bed was very comfortable and at the end of a busy day it was GREAT to relax on.
