I would rate Viking as a tip top cruise line. We enjoyed every aspect of the boat. Comfortable accommodations, wonderful service and really great food. Everything was well provided for, including organizing tours. Exploring the old windmills was interesting. We also took an optional trip into the Slovakian countryside and visited a young farming family, who invited us into their home, and also showed us their vineyards and winemaking business. It was a great experience.
Tour director Barry, kept things lighthearted and fun. I do wish we would have had a full day in the Netherlands. For the most part, the tours were good...several not so great tour guides and a few too many churches to walk through, but overall, an experience I would happily repeat. We met many nice folks on the boat and have kept in touch with some. It was great to visit with people at mealtime and not have assigned seats.
Our cabin was great. It was on the lower level and smaller, but very clean and comfortable with sufficient storage. It was also quiet. Our stewards kept it so sparkling and inviting.
