The staff was friendly, professional, and attentive without being overbearing. Chris Smith, our program director, was excellent in providing updates, changes, and daily schedules. Transportation to and from the airport was efficient and timely making the

Enticed by a wraparound balcony master suite at the stern of the ship, we booked a 7 night cruise with friends from Lyon to Avignon. Thanks to the company of said friends, we had a good time, but my goodness, were there issues. Obviously, being a cruise of any description means that food quality is only ever going to be so-so. And so it proved, very average quality ingredients not

The Grand European Tour was amazing. I would give it a rating of 10 on a scale of 0 to 10.

We have traveled quite a bit, especially to Europe, so we did not know what to expect from our river cruise. Viking did not disappoint, from the moment we walked on to the boat to the day we departed, the personnel was top notch! The whole staff was extremely professional, polite and enthusiastic. The Program Director George, was on top of his game 24/7. I think every one of the passengers

Everything from beginning to end was far above our expectations. The staff and crew are to be recognized for the excellent service they give. Without exception, they were friendly and accomodating. The ship was modern, yet cozy. Emacuately clean and comfortable. I've never had an offer to change the mattress if it wasn't right for us. Absolutely above and beyond. The tour, the included

Our Viking cruise was top notch. The ship, crew and staff, food and excursions were all excellent. Loved being able to visit so many beautiful cities without the hassle of changing hotels, and yet have all the amenities of the Viking Jarl. We were very impressed with the quality of the food, there were so many choices and it was all delicious. The excursions were all excellent too - both the

From the moment we stepped onboard, this crew provided outstanding service that reinforced why Viking is our first choice for both river and ocean cruising. The crew was both friendly and highly professional at all times. Ali, our chosen server in the restaurant got to know us personally and was always ready with our preferred wines. The bar manager was also highly attentive to our desires for
