We chose this cruise for the itinerary. The idea of being ported right in the city and being able to walk and wander through the city was what we wanted. We were surprised at how well organized and superior the included excursions were. The staff was very accommodating. Everything was well organized. It was one of the best trips we have been on. Having Viking arrange the flights, transfers, and excursions made this stress free.
We booked a pre and post cruise stay in Budapest and Prague. Both hotels were in excellent location. The Viking representatives were very helpful which made the trip even better. All the shore excursions were lead by knowledgeable local guides. The dining was acceptable. Being able to sit with new friends can be challenging. Luckily, most passengers are very welcoming and friendly. We enjoyed the themed dinners. Having the talk/meeting prior to the next days excursion, reassured us that we were choosing the right excursion. I would definite recommend a River cruise for those who like to walk and learn about history. We were so impressed that we booked another river cruise.
It was a little small, but all the amenities were there, including american and european outlets.
