Review for Azamara Journey to Europe - Eastern Mediterranean

While searching for cruise-related information on the internet, I noticed an offer from Azamara for a last-minute deal on a cruise to Cypress, Israel, and Egypt. The price was excellent--less than I had just paid for a Princess cruise of the same length 2 months earlier. When I first saw the ship from the outside, I was taken aback as it appeared to be a much older-looking ship than I imagined. ...

We cruised with Viking from Athens to Istanbul. Our experience far exceeded our expectations. Everything was so outstanding that we've signed up for two more trips - one ocean and one river. The accommodations, the staff, the staff, the entertainment, the Port Talks, etc etc could not have been better. This company understands client service and logistics as good as any. Plus, they have a spa on ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s
We chose this cruise because of some of the excursions offered. All were of particular interest to us. In order: 1) Athens, Greece: Acropolis, Agora, Athens Flea Market (saturdays), and all of the little but ancient Greek and Byzantine churches. We did not actually participate in the standard excursion but did "our own thing" while in Athens. The stay at the Athens Marriott was nice, the ...

We sailed onboard Viking Venus on 4th November 2022 for the 'Ancient Mediterranean Treasures' itinerary. We have sailed with Viking before (both river cruises and an ocean cruise), but I have to sadly report that Viking's high standards are slipping to make them comparable to cheaper cruise lines.
Issues experienced were:
1) Poor service. On a daily basis we had to find waiters to serve us. ...

We chose this cruise because we had always wanted to visit Greece and Turkey. This was our first Viking cruise, and we were so impressed with the level of detail in every regard and how perfectly everything was coordinated.
The embarkation and debarkation experiences were simple and well-coordinated.
Transfers were easy and we felt well looked after.
The on-board dining was really ...

This is my second cruise with Viking. My first was a river cruise, this was an ocean cruise. I like each for it's own reasons. Giving this a 4/5 because while everything was very nice, I felt the excursions to be a little boring and monotonous. The tour guides were mostly good and interesting, but every tour was similar, and you had to pay serious upgrade fees to get something ...

We have sailed Vikining before on a river cruise to the Bordeaux region, six years ago. We've wanted to be able to travel on their cruise ships ever since. It took some time to be able to save up enough money to take the trip. It was everything and more in terms of the quality of the ship, staff, and services. The excursions were also amazing. I'd recommend this trip to everyone.
One issue, ...

We chose this cruise because the itinerary was 100% Greek history and archaeology at locations not focused on beaches. Also wanted to try the Viking Ocean cruises, as we have been very satisfied with the Viking River cruises. Both objectives were delivered way above expectations.
The Viking experience was as good as expected with the added benefit of a smaller ship. The dining and entertainment ...

Greece has been on our bucket list for a long time, and although our original sailing date was "adjusted" by the pandemic, we were happy to wait. The wait was certainly worth it. We are Viking junk)ies. This is was our sixth cruise. Four rivers and two oceans. They never get old.
As committed river cruisers we booked our first ocean cruise (Iconic Western Med) a few years ago with some fear and ...

We have about a dozen cruises under our belts split roughly evenly between Seabourn, Silversea and Crystal. Our last cruise was Quest in 2019. Obviously things have changed a bit in the past 3 years and to be clear do recognise that all hospitality venues have had serious challenges whether land or sea based. I did a live blog which can amplify issues so am trying here to take a step back. It is ...
