Your cabin on Viking Fulla
Viking Fulla is a Longship with river-facing accommodation and an open-air Aquavit Terrace. The emphasis is sightseeing and relaxed evenings rather than big-ship entertainment. Compare a Veranda Stateroom with a French Balcony Stateroom: a French balcony opens at the window; it is not an outdoor sitting area. We check the deck plan and exact cabin before recommending it.
