Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Viking Sky

We had originally booked a Mediterranean cruise, but canceled when COVID wreaked havoc on travel plans. I found this off season cruise of the Aegean and am so happy we went with it. Viking was superior in every way. I don't know if we can even consider going on another large cruise ship. With 450 crew members to our 850 some passengers, the service was incredible. I've never been so pampered. ...

Cruisers with Interest in Biblical Archaeology

My wife and I chose this cruise because of our previous positive experience with Viking River Cruises and because of our interest in Biblical Archaeology. While the cruise did not explicitly focus on biblical sites, the itinerary allowed us to visit the Acropolis and Areopagus (Mars Hill) in Athens, Ancient Corinth, Thessaloniki (accessible only on Viking Cruises as far as I know), Ancient ...

We had been on a Viking River cruise of the Rhine several years ago and really enjoyed the places we visited and the Viking approach. Generally, like to travel on our own and only consider cruises when the ships go to places that we either ordinarily wouldn't get to see on our own or couldn't reasonably visit by car. For example, the first cruise we went on was to a number of Baltic Sea cities, ...

Very Unsatisfactory Experience

This was our first experience on Seabourn. We selected the cruise based on the itinerary that included Petra Jordan. Our cabin and cabin attendants were wonderful. The food in most of the restaurants was mediocre and bland n terms of flavors. Each restaurant has many choices which change daily so there is a great variety of food in each restaurant. It didn't matter which restaurant we ...

We read and watched lots of reviews and everyone raved about Viking. Everyone on staff was so genuinely kind and friendly. This was our first trip to Europe and we felt so taken care of, from our flights being arranged and a number to call if we had any problems, to them meeting us as we got off the plane, to taking us to the hotel in Rome for our 2 day extension, and being in the lobby to ...

Review for a Mediterranean Cruise on Silver Spirit

Silversea has been blindly focused on cutting costs and this has severely impacted the quality of its offerings. This cost cutting has shown up it two areas. The first is the ship was grossly understaffed and the staff that were there were undertrained, inexperienced, and often not qualified for the positions they held. The wait staff, who were there, to the most part, did an outstanding job. ...

Israel, Egypt & Cypress: excellent excursions, good food, and good service

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Azamara Journey

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. ...

BACKGROUND AND BOTTOM LINE Avid cruiser, many times with Holland and Cunard. First time on Azamara and was in a suite. It will be our last. Exceedingly poor value. THE GOOD The shore excursions. While they contract with others to do them, they still get some credit for it. The size of the ship. The itinerary. THE BAD Communication before and after the cruise was ...

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 ...
