Viking Njord

Great locations and stops; boat amenities and staff left a lot to be desired

May

Pros: The sites we saw were beautiful and the locations/stops were great. The cities and towns we visited were amazing and we were able to see and experience the best locations on the Rhine. Viking staff were great with logistics before and after our cruise adventure, meeting us at the airport, coordinating hotels and extensions.

Cons: The boat, itself, left a lot to be desired. There were minimal amenities and customer service wasn't the best, which surprised me. There was only one restaurant with limited options. If you are a vegan (as my friend is), good luck. Most vegetarian meals have cheese (and it's not something easily removed). Dinner service took FOREVER! Two hours to eat dinner each night seemed excessive. Room service is not an option and there are not any other eating options.

Recommended: No

I wish there was more to do on the ship. It didn't seem like the best value for the money. Staff in the restaurant did not provide efficient or speedy service. It also felt like you were an inconvenience or annoyance if you asked for something, like ketchup, a refill, etc.
