Overview
The Viking Mani is one of Viking River Cruises’ longships, with space for 190 guests. She features two of the buzzworthy Explorer Suites with private wraparound verandas, along with several veranda suites, verandas, French balcony rooms, and standard staterooms.
The Viking Mani’s streamlined design fits in with Viking Rivers’ simply elegant aesthetic, the best of which is epitomized in the indoor/outdoor Aquavit Terrace, the Lounge (and bar), and The Restaurant with panoramic views.
One of the Viking Mani’s most popular areas is the sun deck, which offers 360-degree views with a putting green, walking track, herb garden, and shaded lounge area.

Viking Mani
Overall, we had a wonderful experience. Compared to other river cruise lines I have travelled with, Viking did not include as much. The drinking package required both guests to purchase it, but my husband drinks and I do not. We had to change ships in the middle of the cruise because the river level was too low for our ship to pass through, but they handled the ship swap very well. The crew on the first ship was exceptional. The crew on the second ship was very good, but did not quite measure up to the Mani crew. We lucked out with great weather, although that contributed to the dryness of the river. Overall, we had a great time and really enjoyed the towns we visited. We did a pre-cruise and a post-cruise extension and both had some good options. Our contacts for the pre- and post-cruise extension were also very good.
Pros: Mani crew were great, program director was excellent, food was wonderful, very accommodating of dietary restriction, great tours, beautiful scenery
Cons: Credit for lunch was restricted to use onboard and nonrefundable

Viking Mani
This is the most wonderful vacation! Everything was far above and beyond expectations. Smiling faces and positive attitudes were so refreshing. The food was fabulous! The tour guides offered so much information, my favorite was the 89 year old with personal accounts of WWII……such a personal touch. Everyone was so happy to be out after all of the COVID shutdowns.
Pros: All inclusive cruise, friendly staff, wonderful food, breathtaking views, educational tours.
Cons: None!
