Great cruise, both relaxing and educational (Athens to Venice)

Positives: We are experienced sea and river cruisers. With viking ocean, we have cruised on the viking star, viking sky and viking sea. Our recent cruise on the viking sea was the best of the three ships. The best feature of viking cruises is viking's overall logistical excellence. When they provide the air, you can count on viking to manage all connections or travel disruptions. the viking ...

The Ship did not disappoint. The room was great, our room steward was accommodating and did a great job. The Spa service was a great benefit. Our excursions were interesting, and the on-board lectures and entertainment was top notch. We had a lot of dining choices for a small ship. The cocktail service was great. We were always greeted when we exited and entered the ship. If we had a request ...

The cruise staff was awesome. The ship was very nice and easy to navigate. This is our first Viking Ocean and really enjoyed it. The stops were hit and miss a little but thats not Viking's fault - we signed up to see the Amazon River. I think the Spa also stood out as a great experience and enjoyed the hot to cold. The room stewards were amazing as they stocked our bar, catered to any request and ...

I had been on Viking River cruises and loved them, but this was my first trial of their ocean ship. Previously, I had travelled on much larger ships on the ocean. I was very surprised about how much rocking and noise there was from the movement of this ship. I was very seasick, even with meds. To be honest, my travel companions and most people I met did not experience any symptoms and they loved ...

The Viking Sea is in great condition! All the amenities and features of this beautiful ship worked great. The crew was very attentive, the food excellent, the wine and beer served at lunch and dinner where above average. The entertainment could have been improved because the sound system was too loud and with too much reverb applied that it did a disservice to the wonderful cast of ...

My review of the Viking Sea…it was bigger than I thought…nearly 900 people. I got spoiled on the other Viking with the River Cruise of only about 150ish…and the Celebrity X which I absolutely loved. The room we had was very worth it size wise…the veranda was nice, the service of the cabin was excellent, and the storage area was HUGE…there were drawers everywhere. I used the laundry for the ...

We chose the Viking Sea for the itinerary and the cruise line. WE chose the penthouse jr suite and loved how spacious it was. I can't say enough about the food and the service which went far beyond our expectations, as we didn't know what to expect. We had always sailed on much larger ships. The intimacy of the ship, yet the privacy we found when we wanted it was wonderful. Although the age ...

My husband and I chose Viking based on a friend’s recommendation and published reviews. We chose the West Indies Explorer cruise to celebrate the Christmas holidays. Overall, we had a wonderful time. Ship: We loved the casual elegance of the ship’s design and furnishing. The ship’s small size made it easy to become familiar with its facilities and to get around. It was easy to get on and off ...

I know I’m not a seasoned cruiser, but I will tell you this much: I will be back on another Viking ship. Everything was clean, the food was delicious, the staff couldn’t have been better…I seriously can’t think of any complaints. We had a problem with the ports we were supposed to go to (Amazon River was low), but Viking gave us an excellent experience anyway. We even got onboard credit due to the ...

I would have given 5 stars as it was a wonderful experience overall with one major exception. We were supposed to go to Manaus & other stops in Brazil, but the Amazon was at historic low water levels and couldn't be navigated. Instead of rerouting us to a coastal port in Brazil, we were taken to the West Indies. We had visited those islands with Viking the year before, so the repeat stops ...
