This was our first river cruise. Viking was excellent. Pick up and drop off of airport was especially appreciated. We had one snafu with the hotel not delivering our luggage until late in the day but I don't fault Viking on that. Guided tours were all very good and interesting. Food was good although sometimes at end of dinner it got a bit rushed to have us scoot out before we had our coffee. We enjoyed just cruising and seeing the sites from the boat. We definitely would do this again.

Too many optional tours that you had to pay for. No variety in wines at dinner. Boat docked too far from downtown. Too many bus rides to get to downtown. Especially disappointing in Paris. The room was very small as compared to other cruise lines. Not enough consideration given to customers with mobility difficulties. Only one evening with outside entertainment brought on board.

Excellent Trip. Very enjoyable and reasonably priced

For a relaxing trip with lots of beautiful scenery and wonderful food, consider the Viking River Cruise on the Viking Kadlin, Paris & the Heart of Normandy.
