We had a wonderful experience on our first cruise with Viking. I'm sure we will at some point try one of their river cruises. The ports and excursions included with our Adriatic cruise were well selected and the logistics for each one of them was handled with ease. Dining at the various restaurants was a positive experience with ecellent service and good food offerings. The evening ...
In 2016 my husband & I were on Mediterranean Odyssey-Barcelona to Venice. He had a compromised immune system from cancer. He picked up an infection & we had to leave cruise in Civitavecchia, Italy. He has since passed away. I wanted to visit the countries we missed in the Adriatic so my friend & I picked this cruise - same ship my husband & I were on. We loved every port we visited esp. Dubrovnik ...
Wanted to see that part of the world and Always used Viking. Beautiful ship,excellent cabin,size and amenities .
Extremely knowledgeable speakers and guides who knew their area.
Embarkation and disembarkation were well organised especially when compared to other ships close by. Having an EU passport helps as well! Food and staff in dining area superb and they are always so polite and ...
Wanted to go to Venice and Greece. Had taken a Viking river cruise in the South of France before wanted to see what the difference was between river and ocean cruise. The experiences were totally different and was concerned that the ocean cruise would gave too many people but never felt crowded. Also liked added amenities of the ocean cruise. Only disappointed in Santorini because it was so ...
We left Venice May 6th on Viking Star on the "Empires of the Mediterranean".....a long anticipated trip which turned out to be almost as wonderful as we imagined! Our cabin (6087) was spacious and we did spend a lot of time there enjoying the view from our balcony. The Star is a beautiful ship from one end to the other and we quickly discovered our favorite spot was the Explorer's Lounge with ...
We chose this cruise to see some new countries and some areas that are more difficult to get to than be sea. The ship was immaculate and the food and staff outstanding. This was our first time on a Viking Ocean ship and we enjoyed the having a LOT more options or locations for socializing with our group or on our own. This gives you time to skip a day on the cruise and just relax while finding ...
We have traveled on several cruise lines,all major lines with the large, not mega though, ships. This was our first with Viking. They know how to do it right! I am likely to book all future cruises with them. I so enjoy their style, all inclusive. No "nickel and diming" the clients. The ship is beautiful. The food was better and the wine was included, lunch and dinner! It had just the right ...
Great itinerary and wonderful Viking customer service . This was our third Viking cruise and our first Viking ocean Cruise. Really like being able to meet people on Cruise Critic prior to the cruise. The Meet and Greet put on by Viking was really a nice touch. We were able to make friends on this cruise and book two more cruises with some of the people we met. The tour guides are always so ...
This was our first Viking trip on its 930 passenger Viking Star, having taken two river cruises with them in the past. All aspects of the ship facilities, travel, dining and related experiences were sensitive to passenger needs and priorities. The ship is exquisite. Common space for reading, leisure activities, on deck seating, and open space was so expansive that we always felt comfortable. The ...
From start to finish, this trip was an incredible dream come true.
The Viking Star is a gorgeous ship, sleek, understated, beautiful, and inspired. Our Penthouse Veranda cabin was beautiful, with the same elegant Scandinavian design esthetic as throughout the ship. We loved the huge closet and ample drawers, and our full-size luggage slid easily under the bed, so we felt fully moved in and at ...
