Overview
If you really want to see Europe in style, nothing beats the Explorer Suites on the Viking Heimdal.
First off, on a Viking river cruise, you can see multiple countries in Europe while only having to unpack once. Secondly, the ship has fabulous features, including gourmet five-course dinners. Lastly, the Viking Heimdal’s two Explorer Suites are the pinnacle of luxury.
You can see far and wide from your wrap-around balcony, and when you’re ready for a shower, the heated floor and premium bath products will provide a soothing experience. Sometimes it’s the small touches that make the world of difference.

Viking Heimdal
This was a great way to see a lot of France. A tour extension started in Paris and provided many outstanding sites to see. The trip on the ship was a lot of fun. Many excellent excursions were available, allowing the passengers to have interesting experiences in each of the stops along the Rhone. The crew did everything possible to ensure the comfort of the passengers. The meals were all excellent.
Pros: Viking Service, a wonderful ship, great itineraries
Cons: None

Viking Heimdal
We really like Viking. The very best crew! Lots to do. Not too rushed in port. Excursions as far as one hour from port as well as near the waterway. Small groups. Motor coach frequently divided among two guides. Lots of information about the area visited. Very personal service. Good food with all meals on ship unless desired differently. Loved getting to know passengers from UK and US. Will be scheduling another River Cruise soon.
Pros: Casual comfort with Super Crew and great excursions.
Cons: Too much food and drink!
