The cruise was great. In comparison to Viking had some advantages. Drinks included 1 hour before dinner in the lounge, better entertainment and more inclusive tours with varying degrees of activity but to be honest pace of walking for the active was same as leisure one. I thought that the dining/food was better on Viking.
