Always wanted to see that part of the world, love cruises (especially in smaller groups), and heard great things about Viking Longboat cruises. It all came together this year when other family members were able to enjoy it with me.
Sadly, I learned I am not physically able to do walking city tours, especially those that are cobblestone. I cannot keep up with the pace, partly because of very limited vision and partly because of age-related physical limitations. What I really need now is a small riding tour of cities visited.
But the cruise itself was lovely and I enjoyed all facets of the journey. The service offered by all personnel was outstanding, the best ever. We especially enjoyed the hotel manager and the program director. The food and variety were great and portions served were just the right size.
We loved our cabin steward, Marvin (a.k.a. "Johnny on the Spot") and couldn't have asked for better service.
