Athens (Piraeus) to Italy Cruise Reviews

We chose this cruise in 2019 for my husband's 70th birthday in 2020. The Holy Lands was a Bucket List destination. However, with COVD in 2020 and 2021 we pushed our cruise to November 2022. Then a death in the family forced us to push the cruise to 2023. Little did we know a war in Israel would start only days before our sailing and would prevent us from visiting the Holy Lands. It was now too ...

Viking shipboard service was impeccable. The included excursions did not always match their descriptions, especially the driving excursions. Some of the excursion guides seemed to lack training and enthusiasm which made the excursion below expectations. Viking food was okay, nothing special Twice menu items preselected for medical diet were unavailable because the wrong menu was ...

We chose this cruise due to the itinerary and price. We booked an inside guarantee and got upgraded to a deluxe balcony. The location was perfect. Very quiet and close to everything. The room was spacious, the balcony was awesome our our room steward was great. Only complaint: we could not get our ice bucket refilled since the machine the steward had access to was broken. This has never been ...

We chose this cruise because we've done 2 river cruises before and we enjoyed the Viking experience. Food on this cruise was fantastic. The ship was beautiful and well-kept. The evening entertainers at the theatre were excellent. Our cabin was exactly what we needed. The excursions were great. The scenery was beautiful. Now, I'll provide suggestions to make the trip better. For ...

Gave 4 stars, because 5 is almost impossible. I don't understand some of the negative reviews. Oceania has been a great choice, especially for the price when compared with other cruise line offerings. Some people must expect everything to be absolutely perfect, which is really not possible. Complaints about the size of the bathroom? You should have checked the pictures and floor plan before ...

The itinerary of this cruise through the Greek islands was great! A stop almost every day. One day at sea towards Venice Italy. However the ship itself needs updating. Our room was in need of a bit of repair. The food was mediocre at best. The activities on board were mid as well. The cruise left us at a port that did not have transport options (Ravenna, Italy) and we need to pay for a 3 ...

We made a poor decision to travel to Europe in the summer, partly because our preferred cruise to Buenos Aires was delayed by Covid for 3 years and we mistakenly believed Viking wouldn't refund our original payment. For that I can never forgive Viking. The cruise was basically fine and uneventful but seriously marred by extreme heat. Our first stop in Katakolon was a disaster - Viking should have ...

It's not the same old Holland America since COVID-19. We do understand that Carnival Corporation was just burning through money during Covid 19 and you can see it in their drastic cuts. As a 3 star Mariner I must admit that it may be time to switch cruise lines. The lack of onboard entertainment is very noticeable. Now instead of production shows we watch a comedian play with a Rubik's ...

We enjoyed this as a family but helped to have adjoining room for two teens. We had inside state rooms but next time would choose a balcony for after excursion. Not all ports all day so that was a bummer and limited on what you can do at port. Space inside cabin ok but small. Kids thought pool too small for amount of people. Did not use pool in solarium because way too hot overall. Gym ok ...

Great 10 night cruise through the Med. Pros : Food is excellent, specially the compass rose. Service is where regent excels, just outstanding. Great excursions Bar and beverage options are really good, high quality and plentiful. Ships clientele is really interesting Small ship, so entertainment is pretty limited but ...
