We chose this Viking cruise because we love France. We had never taken a river cruise before, only ocean cruises, but we thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Our friends had taken several riverboat cruises with Viking and suggested we go. We liked the smaller boat and the fact that there were less than 200 guests, making it more intimate. The service on the Viking Delling was superb, the free tours as well as the paid excursions couldn’t have been better! We met wonderful people on the cruise as well. All in all a wonderful experience and we are already planning to take another trip on Viking next year....hopefully with free airfare again. That was a plus in our decision to take a Viking cruise initially. We also enjoyed extending our trip before and after visiting two other countries. Viking employees picked us up from the airport and got us back for our other flights on time and that was also important to our travel plans.

The dining experience was top notch. The wait staff were very attentive and gracious. The good was great for the most part. We enjoyed the different dining options either in the dining room for dinner, and inside or outside for lunch. Free wine and beer at lunch and dinner was also a nice perk.
