Viking Cruises review: Not truthful

We booked a river cruise to Lyon, France in 2024 for a sailing in August, 2027. At the time, we were told the final payment was due in February, 2027. But, now I get an email the full payment is due nearly 2 years ahead of the sailing or 21 months. That is, in my opinion, a long time for this company to hold onto nearly $20,000 and I'm not happy about it. I think this kind of behavior smacks of arrogance and misleading information. Careful in your dealings with them.
Fortunately, Celebrity is about to kill Viking in Europe for river cruises.
