Creator's Key Takeaways
However, our overall review of the cruise was very positive. The Viking crew, they're always very friendly. They provide topnotch service and make every effort to provide a wonderful vacation experience.
If you are a traveler who is not comfortable making those arrangements on your own and want to kind of trip that provide you everything from start to finish, then Viking really makes that easy for you.
The included tours are meant to be a basic introduction to the city or special site that you're visiting. Sometimes they're better than at other times, but overall we find them worthwhile.
