"Then, when the water taxi dropped us back off at the creepy marine terminal, there was no one at the bus spot, and an employee told us the bus will come for you "over there at terminal 117"...That stunk, and I think Viking KNOWS it stinks, so they offered non-tour "shuttles" to go from 1:30 every hour...."Read More
Loved the itinerary. Nice ship. Decent food but not great and lacking variety. Two lobster nights was really nice.
Included Excursions were disappointing with average to below average guides. Paid excursions had better guides but really poor planning relative to time. Many excursions returned to the ship as buffet was closing. Others did not allow enough time for shopping and enjoying the ...
River cruise of 2022 was cancelled by us due to low river levels. Transferred to Med cruise that took us from Venice to Barcelona. We were looking for at least 14 days. It was wonderful in all aspects. Viking family was attentive, welcoming and warm. Plenty of adult educational seminars on the ports we visited. Nightly entertainment was superb and with audience participation (if one so wished) ...

Have sailed on this same ship on the viking homeland. Such a beautiful ship. My husbands first time on viking & he said he would never travel on any other cruiseline except viking. They are so exceptional. All the restaurants are fabulous & staff can't say enough. We will definitely sail with them again. Love it that no children. Have been on other crusies where parents let their children run ...
This was our first Viking ocean cruise. We've been on a Viking river cruise previously, as well as numerous cruises on other cruise lines. The Viking experience was different than on the larger ships. With 900 passengers, the ship never felt crowded and we had no problem going to different venues and finding seats.
The ship is immaculate and very well maintained. The crew are very ...
We selected this cruise because of the ship (having sailed on it and it sister-ships twice before), the variety of destinations, and the selection of excursions at each port. Despite being one of the first Viking ocean vessels (circa 2016), the Viking Sea is beautifully maintained and the wear and tear from our first cruise on it in 2017 was minimal. The interior, staff, and organization was ...
The cruise was an unforgettable experience filled with opulence and elegance. From the moment we stepped on board, we were treated like royalty, with impeccable service and attention to detail. It was a perfect blend of relaxation and excitement. The stunning views from the ship's deck were breathtaking at sea and in the ports. We saw picturesque sunsets and beautiful coastal landscapes. The ...
Just got home from my cruise on the viking sea for a cruise in the Med. This ship and crew were flawless. The level of detail in the customer service area is unmatched. I have worked on cruise ships myself and never experianced service like this. The ship its self is understated and on board entertainment is geared to be light because everything is centered around the ports of call. The rooms ...
We were told by a friend that a Mediterranean cruise would be a very worthwhile trip. We are so glad we took his advice. The Viking cruise line was very professional to work with from booking over the phone, monitoring reservations online, and the friendly staff on board. This cruise is for adults only, which we liked for this trip. My husband was surprised with a bottle of sparkling wine and cake ...
We travelled with our two adult kids to see 4 countries (8 cities) we had never seen before. I really enjoyed traveling on a smaller (900 passenger ship) rather than the other huge (4000+ passenger) alternatives - the ports where the other big ships showed up were noticeably overwhelmed.
Viking offered from 6-10 shore excursions at each port, at least one of which was free. All the excursions ...
