First but not last Viking Ocean Cruise!
"Our flight was not until around 3 PM and instead of dropping us off at the airport to sit for the day, Viking had us and our luggage transported to a nice hotel where we were provided with a large reception room equipped with snacks and various beverages.We also loved the size of the ship, large enough to have many activities and venues to enjoy, but small enough to get around easily...."Read More

This was out first time on a Viking cruise and there was lots to love but some disappointments. We are in our late 60's and have mostly cruised on Celebrity. We were looking to try a smaller ship, got a great offer from Viking and wanted to see the Panama Canal. A few observations: The Ship and Cabin: - the ship is beautiful with a refined elegance, lots of lovely spaces both inside ...

We made our reservations in May, 2019 for our 40th anniversary the next year. COVID had other plans. Viking canceled our 2020 river cruise and again in 2021. We canceled in 2022 due to the unrest in Europe and the masking and COVID testing requirements. We rescheduled again with the change to an ocean cruise instead. We are certainly glad we did. The extended stay on the ship was marvelous. ...

From the moment we "walked up the gangway" to the moment we "walked down the gangway" we totally enjoyed our first Viking cruise. Our room steward, Nikko, was very attentive to our every need/wish. Every waiter/waitress could not have been more courteous and attentive. When we had questions of Guest Services they were most helpful. We loved our junior suite, it was just the right size and ...

We went on this cruise for fun and relaxation and to see the Panama Canal operation. The service both housekeeping and food were absolutely fantastic. The accommodations were excellent as was the view from the veranda. The crew was outstanding as was the entertainment. The cruise director rocked. We are already booked on the same ship for next year's adventure to Iceland and beyond. Viking knows ...

Our 1st Viking cruise, it was awesome. The ship, itinerary, staff, excursions, food, and fellow cruisers, were all great! This was our 3rd cruise overall, the other 2 were with Disney. So this cruise ship was alot smaller, no kids, and an older average age of fellow cruisers. We had the pre and post hotel stays booked thru Viking. All transfers between the airport, hotel, and ship all went ...

We had been on a Viking river cruise and enjoyed it so decided to try their ocean cruises. I've been on seven cruises now and would say the Viking ocean experience is only so-so (except for the food which was really quite good). No better than any of the other four lines we've been on really. Talked with other passengers who felt the same. The wine-by-the-glass choices were mediocre, the ...

This was our second Viking cruise, and we chose the Panamá Canal. Our first was in 2019 to Rome, Jerusalem and Greece and we could not have been more impressed. We are very happy on a smaller ship and the ratio of the Viking crew to guest is excellent. From the moment you board, you are enveloped in the warmest welcome and that is just the feeling the entire time. Every member of that team ...

This was our first cruise with Viking. We have sailed with Silversea, Road Scholar, Uniworld and other lines. We wanted to cruise in the Panama Canal and this seemed like the right choice. It was. An easy plane trip from Philadelphia to Fort Lauderdale. Viking handled all of the transfers. We were personally greet at the airport. It was an easy check-in and then were able to start enjoying ...

Wanted a warm-weather winter get-away, and this itinerary delivered. Chose Viking based on our experience on a previous Viking cruise. Every meal was tasty, stateroom and ship were impeccably cleaned and maintained, ALL Viking staff greeted us at every turn. Most shore excursions were excellent; a few were mediocre, but still enjoyable. We were disappointed that Key West was eliminated from the ...

First time on Viking and it was a 14 day cruise with a partial Panama Canal transit. This is the oldest ship in their fleet but so well maintained it really looks like new! Loved the decor/style of the ship (very Scandinavian) and the crew was absolutely the best! The crew/staff got to know our names and preferences quickly and everyone was always smiling and friendly. I've seen complaints about ...
