Everyone that had been on Viking River Cruises said they were wonderful. The Paris cruise was wonderful. Food was great, tours were easy, and the staff was more than helpful. Do not miss going on a Viking ship. They take care of everything. Airport transfers were so easy. The ship was just the right size and easy to get around. Eating schedules were excellent. The trip to Normandy was well worth the cruise and the reason we went in the first place. Loved having guides with such great knowledge of all areas we toured. They have hired such great people to manage everything about your trip.Normandy is well worth the reason to go. We trip the Pre-package to Paris and glad we did. Wish we had taken even more days in Paris. There are so many museums to visit. Don't miss going to the top of the Eiffel Tower. The Hotel Rochester was a perfect location also with our daily tour guide.
