Viking River Cruise Review, Not What I Expected!

Editorial Summary

A skeptical first-time river cruiser shares their experience traveling through France on the Viking Buri longship. The creator details the boarding process, ship amenities, and cabin accommodations, noting that the stateroom matched the website descriptions. The review covers various aspects of the voyage, including the ease of internet connectivity and the availability of a small elevator for those with mobility concerns. The creator highlights the included daily excursions, such as visiting Roman ruins in Arles, the Pope's Palace in Avignon, and wine tasting in Beaujolais. While the creator highly praises the plated meals and the quality of the food and drink, they express dissatisfaction with a buffet-style specialty dinner, describing it as stressful for both passengers and crew. The summary also touches upon the ship's atmosphere, noting the absence of children and the generally older demographic of the passengers. Ultimately, the creator concludes that the cruise offers a relaxing, culturally rich experience that stands in stark contrast to their previous negative experiences on large ocean cruise ships.
