Viking River Cruises makes sure that all guests are well taken care of from the moment they arrive at the airport. The cruise line offers plenty of included amenities that make travel abroad seamless and efficient. Embarkation on our Viking cruise was a breeze, and getting on and off the ship at each port is casual and simple, with no lines or security hassles. Along with transfers, Viking river cruise includes a tour of each port, WiFi, onboard specialty coffees and teas, bottled water, and soft drinks, and all onboard meals. Beer and wine are also included at meals. While the inclusions are great, the Viking river cruise ship does have few onboard amenities. There is no fitness center, pool, or spa on Viking longships, although there is a small library. We were also surprised at the limited onboard enrichment offered during our Viking river cruise review experience. Besides a local artist giving a lecture on impressionism, the program director gave all of the lectures. Mia was great, fun, and personable, but we expected more in-depth offerings regarding the itinerary and France on Viking cruises. The Viking river cruises tours, too, were a mixed bag. We thought all of the tour guides were fantastic. They were knowledgeable and engaging. While we enjoyed many of the included tours on our Viking cruise, we were disappointed in our bus tour of Paris. When evaluating the Viking river cruise dining for this Viking cruise review, we would say the food quality was better overall than most mainstream cruise lines. Menus on Viking river cruises were quite limited, but they offered more upscale offerings tailored to the region. Also, we were surprised that both onboard eateries served the same menu. Each day, the dining times are on a set schedule, with open seating for all meals. So, you will get to know the roughly 160 other guests on the Viking river cruises europe experience quite well. Our cozy veranda stateroom on this Viking cruise offered all of the typical features of a larger ship's room in a tighter space. The bathroom had luxury bath products and heated tile floors. We had plenty of clothes space and additional storage for our gear The 8-day Seine river cruise Paris itinerary on Viking river cruise included two days in Paris, a morning of self-exploration in La Roche Guyon, a walking tour of the historic city of Rouen, retracing the steps of allied heroes at the beaches of Normandy, and a warm and sunny full day at the quaint village of Les Andelys. Along with included tours, we also opted for optional additional tours of Versailles and the Louvre. Our Viking Seine river cruise also included a tour of Napoleon's chateau and time sailing along this river's historic banks.
