To see Normandy and the France river views, etc. Dining was outstanding at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Servers, waiters and those in charge were very personable and willing to assist in any manner to ensure our trip was pleasant and accommodating. Rooms were very, very clean and kept that way the entire trip, while we were on or off the boat. Add on trips off the boat were very well done and articulated by the leaders. My only, and it is the only, complaint is the requirement to pay so much of the money up front and ahead of the scheduled cruise dates. We have already booked one for next July and have had to pay our total amount by June 30th of this year. While this is really not a cruise issue in itself, it is a negative with some our our family whom we are trying to get to join us on future Viking cruises.
