This was our fourth Viking cruise, and we chose it because it took us to cities we had not previously visited, even though it started in Paris, where we have been. Overland coach travel was fine; buses were comfortable, and all pre-and post cruise accommodations were very good. I would recommend this trip to anyone who has traveled with Viking!
Included shore excursions were excellent, as were optional extra activities.
Meals were very good - up to the standards we have come to expect with Viking, as were some of the lectures and demonstrations on board.
Staff made embarkation very easy
