We wanted to see more of the Mediteranean and spend a few more days in our favorite places in Italy. This itinerary fit the bill.
We took advantage of all the free amenities that we could. We did every single one of the immersion tours with local guides as well as a couple prepurchased extras. The local guides felt like friends by the end of each adventure. Very rarely ordered drinks ...
We had never been to Venice, but we also wanted to revisit Greece and more of Italy, France and Spain. This cruise seemed to fit the bill and it did. We enjoyed every minute of it with some dear friends. Would do it again in a heart beat. We were caught in a storm that made it exciting and it caused us to miss some ports, ie Croatia and Montenegro, but we received credit for the loss that was ...
We had done only one Viking river cruise, and wanted to try an ocean cruise. The larger ship offered more shore excursions, more dining options, a large spa and other advantages such as the indoor and outdoor pools.
All aspects of logistics were handled gracefully and flawlessly. Embarkation, move-in, overall scheduling, meals, cabin maintenance, disembarkation, were all as advertised and ...
I chose this cruise because of the itinery and the good reviews I had heard from others. The food and the service was excellent. All of the workers in the restaurants and bars were very eager and provided good service. The cabin was great and well kept. The cabin steward was attentive and very helpful. In these regareds, you get what you pay for.
There was a problem with docking ...
We have wanted to sail the Adriatic Sea and visit the countries bordering.We wanted to sail during a time which was suitable for our weather preferences. We chose a great time! Having traveled with Viking before, we wanted to do this with Viking. The staff was uniformly courteous, helpful and always wanted to know if there was anything they could do to make our trip better. Typical Viking!The boat ...
We cannot say enough about how wonderful this cruise and vacation were for us.
My husband and I were not new to cruising, but we were new to Viking. One of the first pleasant surprises was how easy and quick check-in was. There was no line or waiting. After a quick review of our tickets and they swooped up our luggage and sent us on our way. Our room was ready an hour or so earlier than ...
This was our first Viking cruise and NOT disappointed. The things we enjoyed most...the nice lounges with excellent bar and wait service along with stringed duo and pianist. Also, afternoon tea was very nice. The ship offered very comfortable lounge seating, in and out. The various indoor living spaces were quite comfortable and quiet. We were so impressed we booked an Alaskan voyage in 2024 ...
Overall the cruise was fantastic. The crew members, most meals, amenities, cabin steward, cruise director Kate were all first class. The dinner at the Chef's Table was well below par for Viking. Would not recommend booking that for dinner.
We did a pre-cruise extension which was very good but the Nobu Hotel was poorly managed for check in and room maintenance. Pick up at Barcelona airport was ...
Liked itinerary & have traveled with Viking on river & ocean cruises in past. We were originally scheduled for this time on Viking Homeland cruise but due to Russia’s attack on Ukraine the itinerary changed & had concerns for safety in that area. The trip on Viking Sea was true to Viking past experiences & same top quality. The cruise director Kate Syrett was excellent as well as the musicians & ...
Actually, we chose this cruise because our Russian river cruise was canceled. We were able to transfer our trip to this Mediterranean cruise and were very happy with the result. Everything went extremely well. The shore excursions were well thought out and very well run. Our cabin was spacious and comfortable. The food was excellent and we enjoyed the ability to choose different restaurants at no ...
