This was our first Viking Cruise. We have another booked based on our most excellent experience with this cruise. The staff and courtesy is a continuous extension of the outstanding shipboard management and facilities. Always ready to help and genuinely interested in your comfort, the staff of the Hermod was a joy. Both the cruise director and the hotel manager made a concerted effort to get to know all of the patrons.
I particularly noted the preparation and planning that went into every event. The behind the scenes coordination and the professional execution were top notch.
The River Cruise highlights that were of most interest to me were: the offering of multiple options on daily tours; the ability to meet other shipmates, and the ability to actually relax and enjoy the scenery.
Well appointed, plenty of bureau and storage space, and with plenty of circuits, outlets, and amenities. The cabin was spotless, and the steward exceptional. Friendly and professional, the staff was very supportive.
