Viking Alruna

SHIP OVERVIEW

The daughter of Kjárr of Valland, Alruna (Ölrún in Old Norse), was one of three Valkyries spinning linen on the shore of Wolf Lake, when they were spotted by three brothers who lived nearby. Alruna and Egil, one of the brothers, lived together for seven winters, until Alruna flew off to battle, never to return.

PROS

Viking Alruna was lovely and the staff excellent

CONS

Some excursions were too short on free time

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Overall, this was a great cruise. I personally didn't love some of the places we went. But the Viking staff was wonderful and each day had the itineraries well organized. The food was good, and there were plenty of options.

PROS

Ship size, onboard service, quality and variety of the food.

CONS

Last day Black Forest included excursion was a MAJOR disappointment

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Ship cleanliness was spectacular. Service and food was over the top. Tour guides, with the exception of the Black Forest tour, were informative. Tours, with the exception of the Black florist fiasco were packed with interesting sites. At times, the walking was a bit much but for the most part the pace was reasonable. We had one of the few two room suites on the ship and it was very, very nice. The public areas on the ship were spacious and well appointed. Extended stays before and after the cruise we’re most satisfying.
