Although we were onboard the Viking Hild for seven nights, also included were two nights in Zurich, Switzerland and two nights in Paris, France. Those hotel accommodations were excellent! Our hotel in Paris was right at the Eiffel Tower! We visited 4 different countries on the trip (Switzerland, Germany, Luxembourg, and France.) Free excursions were provided daily where we got to visit the nearby cities with transportation provided by Viking. We received and experienced the real culture and beauty and history of these beautiful places. There were only 189 passengers, so everyone received personal care and attention. The foods were prepared according to the country we visited .... all were DELICIOUS! The staterooms were pristine, and the beauty of the world we visited were breathtaking. Our Cruise Director, Emma, and all the Viking Staff (airport, hotels, cruise tour guides, and ship) far exceeded our expectations. GREAT GREAT JOB, VIKING! THANK YOU!!!!!!
