We chose this cruise because it was our first trip to Europe and we wanted to see as much as possible. We can't say enough good things about the trip. It was a great vacation. We had a fantastic crew and an outstanding program director that handled a few unexpected situations with extreme professionalism. They definitely made the trip extremely enjoyable. The ship, the service, the food, the ship accommodations, on shore excursions, the evening entertainment and the daytime enrichment activities were all top notch. Having only 190 people on the ship was great because you had the opportunity to meet almost everyone. Many people on the cruise said they had taken ocean cruises on the big ships with 1000's of people and this was so much better. We booked our trip completely thru Viking including air fare and everything was handled extremely well. We would definitely like to do another cruise.
