My brother chose this cruise for his 70th birthday trip as he had wanted to try a river cruise.Embarkation was very slick, airport pick up and transfer vehicle were on point.The dining experience was excellent as were the staff in the dining room and bar area,in fact all of the Viking Modi staff are exemplary and a credit to the company. The tours are very well organised and timings are a good blend of very knowledgeable local tour guides and time to explore alone before sailing on. Entertainment was a little limited, the shake up duo were talented but for the most part had the same play list every night with a few evenings exceptions. I am pretty sure they ramped up the sound in the lounge area a couple of nights in which made conversation impossible therefore the lounge was invariably deserted by 10pm. A couple of nights we had entertainment from locals, opera in Vienna, Hungarian folk music etc which was very enjoyable. Our main disappointment was that the sun deck was closed for 5 days of the trip an occurance which was not clearly documented anywhere in the brochure or mentioned at the time of booking by our travel agent (if TA was even aware of the fact), this meant that outside space was limited to a small area at the bow of the ship and the two side balconies, speaking for my husband and myself we were going stir crazy as my husband likes to walk the deck and take photographs,the walking track,small putting area and deck quoits could not be used. The majority of our sailing companions were very well travelled and educated people with the exception of a few who were avoided sometime with difficulty as escape routes were few.
