We chose the cruise for several reasons: husband's ancestors are Finnish, had never been to the Scandinavian or the Baltic countries, and friends' recommendation.
We found the excursions to be excellent, and we learned a great deal about the Viking culture and heritage. Specifically the excursions in Norway, St. Petersburg, Aalborg, Gdansk,and Tallin gave us insight in to the culture, heritage and history.
The Bergen Railway to Oslo was a scenic delight and gave us a better idea of Norway's beauty.
Our cabin attendant, Julie, saw to our needs very well, always greeted us with a smile and called us Mr. and Mrs. Short immediately and alway inquired as to how we were.
Shower door leaked throughout the cruise despite Julie reporting it and saying maintenance had repaired it.
A day in the life of a Viking.
