Viking is the right luxury level for us.
The Viking experience is wonderful! They provide first class service - this includes check in, excursions, dining, housekeeping, maintenance issues, etc. This was our 2nd Viking River Cruise and it too exceeded our expectations.
This was my 2nd trip with Viking. As before, everything was perfect ---food, service and accommodations were outstanding.
Our trip was wonderful. Everything was very organized. The New York Hotel in Budapest was fabulous. Can't say enough positives about our trip.
