My wife and I were onboard the Viking Kari for the trip from Paris to Normandy to Paris and it was a delightful experience.
The Pros-
1) The ship was clean and functional.
2) The staff was friendly and seemed to enjoy attending to the needs of the passengers.
3) The excursions were well organized and were to desirable points of interest.
4) There was more than enough food and drinks.
The Cons-
1) Though not the fault of Viking, the excursion destinations of The Louvre, The Palace of Versailles, and Monet's Garden were extremely crowded. If we had a redo, we would take this trip when the kids are not on summer vacation. The large crowds made it difficult to enjoy the beauty of these destinations.
2) The food on the ship was not exceptional. Lots of choices, but 6-7 on a scale of 10.
If you want to visit many points of interest around France without having to change hotels and pack and unpack, I recommend this trip.
