Zurich to Paris 9/24-10/6 2023

Recommended: Yes

The trip was great until the last two days. The bus ride from Trier to Paris was too long. Also being on the boat is the best part of the trip not having to pack, get off then have to unpack again in a hotel. We will never do another cruise that ends with staying in a hotel. It’s just too much work! Also the hotel we stayed in while in Paris was too far from the city. The shuttle rides into the city were 45-60 minutes long. Would much prefer to stay closer to town and be able to walk to restaurants, etc.

First time traveling to Europe

September

Pros: Everything is planned for you. You are met at the airport by a Viking representative and they hold you hand throughout the trip and give you flexibility or free time to explore. We never felt that we were too overwhelmed . We always felt safe.

Cons: The rooms are a little cramped but are big enough to survive a week or too.

Recommended: Yes

From start to finish, the staff is amazing!!! Even if you prepay the gratuities, bring extra cash. You'll want to give an extra to those who serve you the meals and take care of your cabin. No is not in their vocabulary. They have such good humor and are extremely quick with a smile and a comeback. The staff makes the trip. Hats off to our favorite Freya employees, Stanislav, Desi and Anthony. ?????
