We choose it because we saw Viking had great reviews with many options. We heard sooo much about river crazing and couldn't wait to try it. And the destinations sounded sooo wonderful. We booked this trip about 15 months ahead and we really enjoyed the planning part. Viking reps were fantastic, knowledgeable and patient.
And OMG!!! We were not disappointed! From door to door Viking took very good care of us and fortunately our trip went perfectly!!!! Not one complaint!! The staff was very warm, sincere, and worked very hard to make sure we had the best trip ever. And with my food allergies, the staff was extremely caring giving me exactly what I needed. All the excursions were great (soo many were included) with the local guides. They were soo knowledgable and very personable too. I couldn't say more about how happy I was with our trip. We are looking forward to our next trip (when time & $$ allows)and will gladly book with Viking.
The cabin was great!!! Plenty of room. Clean. Comfortable bed. Quiet and smooth sailing. Even a nice, big enough shower that drained well and didn't get the rest of the bathroom wet. We loved our French balcony!! Well worth it!!
