We throughly enjoyed the cruise. It really showed us Russia. The excursions presented by Viking gave us a true feeling of the culture and people. It provided us with a new appreciation of Russia, her people and history.
The food was excellent. There was a great variety and the Russian cusine was very good. The soup with each dinner was the best.
The ship and common areas were nicely decorated and kept clean and inviting.The cabin was a little small but about the same as on other ships. It was nicely decorated and the balcony was great. Everything was kept clean and neat.
It was in the very middle of the ship and when crossing the lakes the floor moved in the middle. One side up one side down.
