Source: Our analysis of the creator's lived experience, based on what they said in this video.
Creator's Key Takeaways
Viking, I would say, is the most well-known. Would you agree? Definitely the most well-known.
Overall, as they are a Norwegian cruise line, they have a sleek, minimalist Scandinavian design on their ships.
With Viking, I found it's pretty consistent quality European inspired menus. And in my in my opinion, I don't think there was that many home runs with the food, but it was consistently good.
One of the great things about Viking and Alma waterways is that they include beer and wine with lunch and dinner.
