Kadlin- Capitals of Eastern Europe

September

Pros:

Cons:

Recommended: Yes

Having only previously visited the first three stops on this cruise, we were looking forward to some new places and experiences. Seeing the previously communist-ruled cities and hearing personal stories from the tour guide and our program director about life under communism and their family’s experiences was so interesting. And so much history in these places! Viking service, the ship, food, attention to detail, use of professional local guides was all up to our expectations based on our 2 previous cruises. Michael, our Program Director, did an exemplary job reorganizing everything when we had to leave the ship one day early due to low water levels and there was no other ship coming the opposite direction to “simply” switch with. This involved and extra night of hotel reservations, food, reorganizing buses and guides, arranging opportunities for new included tours etc.

People with mobility issues should be aware that the side excursions do require a lot of walking, and the cobblestone streets and sidewalks can be difficult.

Normandy (Seine River) Cruise

November

Pros: Excellent service, good food, good excursions, and Viking's willingness to provide a special tour for the West Point group that comprised the majority of the passengers

Cons: Would like to have spent more time at the D-day sites

Recommended: Yes

Viking did a very good job in organizing a special D-Day tour of the principal battlefield areas to include Omaha Beach, the American Cemetery at Colleville, Point du Hoc, Ste-Mere-Eglise, and Utah Beach. They provided drinks at the cemetery to toast the American soldiers who lost their lives and to those who survived. They also provided flowers for all of us to lay on the graves. We had entrance to all the museums at each of the stops and a good lunch following the tour of the cemetery and Omaha Beach. Given the military backgrounds, this tour, as opposed to the standard tour, had special meaning for all of us. As always, the staff working the boat were very friendly and accommodating, and a few of them left very positive and lasting impressions on all of us.
