best vacation i've had in years. crew was excellent as was the dining experience.i must say, the entire cruise was a pleasure. we've met many guest who will be friends for life.i hope to take another Viking cruise next year.Our cabin was very comfortable and clean with daily care.we always had hot water for showers and personal needs. great having a small refrig. for snacks and wine for our evening rest on our veranda.The food choices were on a par with our dining experiences in Paris. we had a great time singing and dancing in the evening after dinner. i must say, the wine selection at dinner was excellent.Our cruise will be a fond memory for many years.Our excursions upon leaving fhe ship were well thought out and comprehensive. We found the guides were extremely friendly and had great knowledge of each tour we experienced. In short, i must say my wife and friends had a most pleasurable time on our cruise.
