Viking Astrild

Cities of Light River Cruise

November

Pros: As always, the service was outstanding. The ship is well maintained and the food was very good.

Cons: Excursion choices are good, but need to be better detailed.

Recommended: Yes

Need more detailed information on excursions. For example, we signed up for a dinner at a restaurant that was over an hour away by bus. Had we known this, we would have skipped it. Princess cruises, on the other hand, lets you know how long you will be walking, how many steps you will be taking, length of time spent on the bus and at each location visited.

An excellent, entertaining and educational vacation

May

Pros: Everything: Starting with the organization and then the accommodations on the ship and on land, the excursions as well as the food and the pleasant and attentive crew.

Cons: None!

Recommended: Yes

The entire package was great: excellent crew, everything went well and there were no problems or inconveniences whatsoever. We had some issues with airline delays on the way back but those have nothing to do with the Viking Astrild. In particular I would like to mention Michael, the tour organizer that was always present and helpful whenever we needed him.

Overview

August

Pros: Outstanding tour director - Susan Spel

Cons: None

Recommended: Yes

This was the only river I had not been on in Europe. It was far different than the Main, Danube, etc., very peaceful, bucolic, and peaceful. Overall rating - excellent!
