This was our first river cruise. Therefore, it was also our first cruise with Viking River Cruises. We were on the 13-day Waterways of the Tsars. The cruise was fabulous. Everything about Viking was well-organized and well-run, from the entire ship (state rooms, dining room, lectures) to the shore excursions.
We found being on the main deck fine. We did not have a door to the outside, but it definitely was not necessary.
Shannon made everything easy and it was a great trip exactly as we had asked for.
