I have been on a few Viking cruises over the past 4 years and not one of them has failed to impress me in some way. I have yet to find a equal to them in professionalism, food, organisation or helpfulness. Last year, we had not started the cruise we had chosen along the Danube, before seeing that Viking were launching a new ocean cruise ship to Russia. Knowing their standards then, we promptly booked a place on this ship for 2016. And we can't wait to take this holiday. My recommendation - don't hesitate, book ASAP because holidays such as these get booked up very quickly. Experiences you should not miss - if you like being treated as someone special.
