Sail Date: Nov 2018

Wanted a smaller ship with great amenities. Beautiful accommodations, fabulous spa, excellent service , stunning ports of call One of the best vacations we have ever taken. We will definitely sail with Viking again!! We enjoyed a jr suite, which included many amenities. The shore excursions were informative and fun. The guides and staff were excellent. We spent a few extra days in Athens which I highly recommend before settling sail. Going in November really worked to our advantage as we had beautiful weather and much less crowds. We had been to Venice before, but had we not, a few extra days at the end of the cruise would have also been nice. We were stunned when staff who had seen us once at the restaurant greeted us by name in the hallway. Truly a class act. Embarking and disembarking were made very easy with ID cards, we never waited long to get to shore excursions.

She took us through temple of Zeus, old city, Parthenon, acropolis. Extremely knowledgeable guide and very fun. Worth it for sure.

Athens (Piraeus)

Booked independent. Had private guide. A little more expensive but definitely worth every cent.
