Viking Rolf

Exceeded my expectations

March

Pros: Clean, comfortable, organized, and exceptional service

Cons: None

Recommended: Yes

Our whole experience from start to end was exceptional. We chose to do a pre-extension in Amsterdam and it was great. Viking was there to meet us at the airport in Amsterdam, they took us to the hotel. We were at that Okura and it was a first class hotel. Very clean, modern, and wonderful service. The location was convenient to everything. On the day of the cruise, Viking took us to the ship and we were greeted and escorted to our room. The room. Once underway, we were surprised how quiet and comfortable the ship was. At each port the process of disembarking was organized and went smoothly. Our tour guides were very informative and friendly. Onboard the service was exceptional, every member of the staff was friendly and professional. The food was very good and we enjoyed meeting fellow passengers. We enjoyed traveling on Viking, and will do another trip on the future.

Seine River Cruise

August

Pros: Wonderful itinerary, good food, nice and neat stateroom, friendly staff

Cons: Too little time to enjoy so much!

Recommended: Yes

The itinerary was tops! Relaxing cruising on the river Seine, Paris by day and another visit by night! Visit to Monet's Garden at Giverny was absolutely fabulous while paying homage to WWII memorial on the Normandy beaches was a most emotional encounter. We enjoyed walking tours of the quaint towns and charming villages along the river Seine as well as the palaces and summer retreats of French kings and emperor. I would say it was an equally relaxing and exciting vacation.

August 2019

August

Pros: Service, activity scheduling, meals, cabin, cabin service, and front desk assistance were all consistently excellent.

Cons: None

Recommended: Yes

Staff were excellent. Certainly spoil the passengers at every opportunity. Meals were excellent. Cabins worked out great and cabin service was excellent. Viking provided the best tour/cruise experiences I have had. Had done one previous Viking cruise and was very pleased to experience their consistent high quality of performance. I was particularly impressed that Viking provides for a wreath ceremony at the American Cemetery (an emotional event for many) during the Normandy Beaches tour. It was exceptionally well done by the ship’s Program Director.

On the Seine

April

Pros: Marvelous crew. Opportunity to visit D day invasion site

Cons: Visit to Versailles Palace not worth the time or money.

Recommended: Yes

Generally the small towns on this cruise are not particularly worthwhile to visit.
