First cruise and first time in France - LOVED this trip!!!! It was amazing and everything was fantastic - the ship/cabin was comfortable; the food was extremely good and I didn't even gain weight with all the food that was provided - loved all the excursions as they were a great way to get to know the area and cannot wait to go back and further explore Northern France. The staff was great about answering questions, and making the trip such a fabulous memory. I would strongly recommend Viking especially if you want to experience from a high level and travel abroad feeling safe. Everything was comfortable and enjoyable. It was truly a trip of a lifetime and cannot thank the Viking crew for all they did to make such a memorable excursion. I would definitely do this form of travel again as it was a perfect way to see and experience so many things about the country we were in - from history to present. Unforgettable!!!!
