Viking always does a first class job. We have been on four Viking River Cruises before, one Norwegian Cruise, and one Princess Cruise. We thought we would never do another ocean cruise after having done the river cruises. But when we heard Viking had started doing ocean cruises, we thought we would give is a try. Although the ship is bigger than a river cruise, it is still small enough (900 passengers). Although we sill prefer river cruises, if we go on another Ocean Cruise, it will be Viking. They do it right. The service is impeccable. The food is phenomenal. The shore excursions highly enlightening and enjoyable. We watched other cruses ships pulling into the same ports we were. I can't imagine it is that fun to be on a ship with 2 to 3 thousand people. Again, although I still prefer river cruises, a Viking Ocean cruise is a great experience.
Excellant - each cabin has a veranda. The cabins are so much more spacious than most ocean cruise ships. And the bathroom was the best I have ever had either on river or ocean. Large shower, spacious room.
