We watched the TV commercials and dreamed of going on a Viking River Cruise. We were able to finally afford a dream vacation and so booked directly through Viking. The agent there "Bella" was very helpful with all our many questions. There were some discounts offered for payment in advance which we did and chose all our day tours well in advance too.
The Ports and Shore excursions were precisely timed and we had no problems whatsoever. The tour guides and bus drivers were very professional and we were amazed at the wealth of knowledge they shared.
We really liked the idea of no children, casino's or pool. We were able to relax and enjoy as much or little of the history and culture of each place we visited.
Beautiful, bright, well equipped. Lots of room including a small fridge and safe. Ample closet and drawer space for 2 with a King Size bed.
