Viking changing 2018 trip from a longship to an older ship on Danube

[Aqua Baby]

I just found out that my July 2018 booked trip on the Danube has been changed from a long ship to one of the older Prestige ships. Anyone know how the Presitge/Legend ships compare. I was told my room will be bigger. They are offering some money but not sure if its enough.

Thank you!

I prefer the older ships, am NOT a longship fan. You'll get larger cabins with far fewer people on board. The staff does a lot better job of caring for the guests. I found Viking trying to feed 194 cruisers dinner at one time to be disastrous. You should feel lucky!

Thank you Pinolover! I was on one of the longships last year and was afraid I may be getting shortchanged. Are the dining rooms packed? It looks like it is missing the back Aquavit area for dining. We really liked using that area on the longship.

Big difference in 188 passengers on the Prestige/Legend and 198 on long ships. I would think you should get a good credit for having to go on one of the old ships.

Daughter and I sailed on the Prestige last July. It was great. We have sailed on both longships and the "older" variety....differences were insignificant, in my view.
