Extraordinary trip of a lifetime

We always wanted to make a trip to Europe to visit all the beautiful countries we’ve only heard about. This was a lifetime trip for us and we heard such good things about Viking from friends and coworkers. We choose Viking because they were able to handle every aspect of the trip from point A to Z. Since we never traveled this far to countries outside of the US we felt safe in allowing Viking plan ...

Had the opportunity to cruise with Viking for the first time recently. We've done 21 cruises with most of the major players out there, and a few of the premium lines. Positives: - Very clean cabins with 2X day housekeeping - No cruisers under 18 years of age - Perfect sized ship - No upsell once on board - Embarkation / Disembarkation very easy - Decent selection of Video On ...

Viking is an exceptional cruise line in so many ways. The ship was immaculate - rooms are cleaned daily and the turn-down service is nice. the friendly staff get to know your names. The port talks were interesting and well-Dione, and the educational lectures enriched the journey. The excursion options are broad — there are many to choose from, and always one is included in the price of the cruise. ...

The ship is beautiful. There are lounges scattered throughout with books, historical items, games and puzzles. Afternoon tea is fabulous. The Explorer’s Lounge was our favorite spot. The covered pool was very nice. The food was good, but there was not a lot variety. It seemed to be the same menu in the regular restaurant and the buffet and nearly everything repeated very night. Manfredi’s was ...

Not as good as promised.

Ship, stateroom and staff were all great. For the cruise cost, other aspects of the experience were, in our view deficient. Our TV system was of such poor sound quality as to be inaudible and when reported it was clear that Viking had no more interest in a resolution than they do to responding to other constructive criticism. Food is generally quite good but not exceptional and some aspects are ...

This was a wonderful trip although I would hesitate to go back during the Christmas/Ephiphany holiday as we lost two stops along the way due to the holiday. Having said that, Viking made it very nice to celebrate on the ship. We had a nice Christmas, a fun New Year’s Eve and an amazing spread on New Year’s Day. I would not take any other cruise line again after sailing with Viking. This was ...

We wanted to focus on antiquities from Athens through Florence. We continued on through Barcelona to get a taste of southern France, in particular. Viking provided the perfect setting on its beautiful ship and with its exceptional staff. All details of our daily excursions were taken care of, and returning each afternoon for tea time, spa relaxation, excellent dining options and fun nightly ...

Husband and I joined his parents for the first Viking Cruise (for all 4 of us). We sailed on the Mediterranean Antiquities journey and had a wonderful time. We picked early morning “upgraded” (paid) excursions with one exception (Monte Carlo, included tour), and our guides hit it out of the park 9/10 trips. The service on Viking is excellent and unobtrusive, and the ship decor and comfort level ...

A great way to see the historic sights in Greece

We were interested in this cruise because we had never been to Greece or Turkey and were excited to follow the journey of the Apostle Paul. We booked a guaranteed verandah cabin and let Viking choose our particular stateroom and were thrilled to have been upgraded to the 6th deck in a lovely midship deluxe verandah cabin. Our stateroom, the service and food and beverage choices and the entire ship ...

A friend of mine booked this cruise and asked me if I wanted to go. It was a bit spur of the moment but I don't regret my decision one bit. From the moment we boarded the ship, we were greeted with smiles and friendly, helpful staff. We nicknamed Paul (our stateroom steward) our Genie because of his ability to anticipate our needs. We quickly "made friends" with the wonderful people of the ...
