It’s the first time I cruise with Viking.
I’m very impressed with how thorough and smooth the trip was. The staffs were helpful at all times and very organized. I like the fact that I have time to relaxed and not being rushed to do everything. I also like the lectures on Russia history. The lecturer were all so knowledgeable, The sessions were very informative and interesting.
The food was ...
The way Viking does everything well. It does Russia GREAT!
We celebrated my birthday there with travel complains we met 10 years ago on a Viking cruise.
The things we saw there were amazing. We felt very very safe and well protected. We stayed at the Ritz Carlton Cairo a few nights and had an amazing room overlooking the Nile River,
We saw and did more things than I would ever do in my ...
I've always wanted to go to St. Petersburg. The rest of the itinerary just made the whole experience better. The ports of call were all interesting and fascinating. The staff and service were all just excellent as was our stateroom and the meals on board.
A very important aspect of this trip, is that my husband and I are gay. I approached the trip with a little apprehension. Small boat, we ...
We took the optional Helsinki stays and enjoyed our exploration of the city and its sights. I especially wanted to do this add on, as we then traveled by train from Helsinki to St. Petersburg.

No problem with ...

We booked our flights through Viking & they were acceptable. Learning from our first cruise, we opted to pay extra to change our return flights so ...
The experience itself was very good but the trouble I have had dealing with Viking administration before the cruise and then afterwards because I had an injury onboard and having to file a claim has been incredibly difficult. Because of their indifference to matters of this nature I would be very careful of dealing with Viking again!
The ship was clean and housekeeping was excellent.
The ...
I wanted to see Russia while I still can. It was amazing, a lot different than we thought it would be. Everything was very clean and safe. Except for a weather problem due to the date that we cruised(ice on the lake), everything proceeded without a hitch. The tour guides that accompanied us the ship were very knowledgeable and as were the local guides. The disparity between urban and rural is ...
We picked this cruise because of past experience with Viking and an email with a good offer at a time we were thinking about going on another vacation. This trip was 10 days total.
We're glad we went east to west on this trip. The infrastructure and prosperity increased as we traveled. Budapest was our favorite city.
We had custom air which allowed us to pick a decent travel schedule from ...
