Creator's Key Takeaways

French balcony State rooms are the smallest of all cabins on board every Viking long ship at 135 ft

We found the selection of television stations to be difficult to watch without the remote nearby

Wi-Fi is complimentary but we found it to be abysmal

Our opinion is that these cabins are generally not worth the price if you do not require a large window

Creator's Tips & Advice

Download entertainment for downtime before you leave
Plan on using your cell phone for connectivity
Travel with Downy wrinkle release spray for longer cruises
Consider a standard stateroom if cost is a concern

YouTube Video Description

@user-rs2nr4ud1g Join us as we tour a French Balcony Stateroom aboard a Viking Longship, the Mimir for the Grand European Tour on the Danube, Main and Rhine Rivers from Budapest to Amsterdam. We answer the question, is it worth the price for a window? These are the highest non-suite category onboard the Viking River Longships. If price is your primary factor, Standard Staterooms provide the lowest price option along with the full Viking River Cruise experience but French Balcony Staterooms give you a larger window and sliding glass door but no balcony. Look for our opinion and tips for making this a successful voyage at an more affordable price. Since all Viking Longships have the same layout, this French Balcony cabin category C, stateroom 338, would be the same if you choose to sail on any of these ships! And since location is the only difference between a category C and D stateroom, the layouts are exactly the same. 👉 Need help deciding what to wear on your Viking River Cruise?
