This was our first Viking cruise and from to start to finish the service from Viking was excellent.
Viking arranged our flights which were from Manchester to Amsterdam flying with KLM. Good flight times. Once we arrived at our destination we did have a bit of wait for our transfer.
We stayed in a Swan cabin which was perfect for a winter cruise. Whilst the cabin was compact it was fine for us, plenty of space for two and there was a shelf in front of the window to store a few bits. I was initially concerned that the cabin would be dark but it wasn't. The bed was lovely and comfy and we asked for extra pillows which were brought immediately. The cabin steward introduced himself straight away and showed us were everything was. Shampoo, shower gel and condition was very good quality.
The food and drink was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. We had a drinks package and we found out there was a different wine list. This was not freely given out and you had to ask for it. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner were all at a set time. There was a good choice and the staff went of their way to help people.
There was a coffee machine and biscuits provided on a daily basis. I did think some people were a bit greedy and took handfuls and at one time there was none left. These took time to replace, but when they did they were very good. It was nice to come back from the cold and grab a mug of chocolate and biscuit.
We took all the included excursions and the majority of them were good. There was only one tour that dragged on a bit. The cruise was that good that we have booked another cruise.
