Luxury at Sea
June
Pros: All amenities were top notch. Excellent service. Food was great. Special kudos to Robert and Pedro in the dining room. Executive Chef was grat and very personable, Room Steward Alexander took grat care of us.
Cons: Entertainment and excursions were hit or miss. Not a lot to do after dinner.
Recommended: Yes
All in all a nice get away. It was a nice introduction to the cities we visited but too quick of a visit to be able to truly explore. Some excursions were well done while others not so. Not enough evening activities for our liking.

Wonderful river cruise for a delayed honeymoon
August
Pros: Mani crew were great, program director was excellent, food was wonderful, very accommodating of dietary restriction, great tours, beautiful scenery
Cons: Credit for lunch was restricted to use onboard and nonrefundable
Recommended: Yes
Overall, we had a wonderful experience. Compared to other river cruise lines I have travelled with, Viking did not include as much. The drinking package required both guests to purchase it, but my husband drinks and I do not. We had to change ships in the middle of the cruise because the river level was too low for our ship to pass through, but they handled the ship swap very well. The crew on the first ship was exceptional. The crew on the second ship was very good, but did not quite measure up to the Mani crew. We lucked out with great weather, although that contributed to the dryness of the river. Overall, we had a great time and really enjoyed the towns we visited. We did a pre-cruise and a post-cruise extension and both had some good options. Our contacts for the pre- and post-cruise extension were also very good.

I would do it again!
October
Pros: All inclusive cruise, friendly staff, wonderful food, breathtaking views, educational tours.
Cons: None!
Recommended: Yes
This is the most wonderful vacation! Everything was far above and beyond expectations. Smiling faces and positive attitudes were so refreshing. The food was fabulous! The tour guides offered so much information, my favorite was the 89 year old with personal accounts of WWII……such a personal touch. Everyone was so happy to be out after all of the COVID shutdowns.
