Smaller ship, less people but fantastic value! This was our first cruise & we thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was portioned just right & was of a gourmet menu selection.

We never had a problem reserving a table in the restaurants & it could all be done from our cabin if we so chose. They had an interactive menu on the television. We had a private balcony where we could view the shore from when we entered port. The cruise director-Heather was very entertaining & funny. We chose to do the included tours ( all walking tours) & it was good value for money. The public areas were never crowded even though we knew there were about 900 people on board. We would definitely go on another Viking cruise if the opportunity presented itself! The only complaint was that some walking tours were a little slow paced for my liking. I would have liked to walk a little faster.
