Pros: Smaller than a typical Viking Long Boat; only 53 staterooms; intimate, superior service.
Cons: None
Recommended: Yes
We have been on 2 previous Viking River cruises (Danube & Rhine) and enjoyed both very much. Each cruise experience got better. This one was the very best to date! Highly recommend doing both the pre-cruise excursion (Madrid) and post-cruise excursion (Santiango). So much history and beautiful scenery to see in all locations. Shipboard service was at its very best. Particularly the dining experience, stateroom service, Hotel management, cruise excursion selections and quality guides all wonderful!

September
Pros: attentive staff
Cons: rooms seemed smaller than previous Viking ship
Recommended: Yes
The Viking Hemming doesn't have one of the features we enjoyed the most on our previous Viking experience - the Aquavit dining area. Viking seems to have mastered the use of space but if you get one of thermal rooms on the low deck you will find the space a bit challenging. Given the smaller size of the Hemming I think the rooms were a bit smaller but this may just be my memory.
