Viking River Cruise
Liz,
Just want to let you know that our river cruise on the Seine River was wonderful.  We had such a good time with many happy memories.  Viking Cruise Line couldn't have been better; they were well organized and made all of us feel welcome. 
      
I want to thank you for your planning, advice. and suggestions. You certainly contributed to the ease and success of our vacation.  We definitely will plan to consult you for further vacations.  
 
Thanks again!
