1-10 of 64 Athens (Piraeus) to Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Viking Ocean Viking Sea Cruise Reviews
We selected this cruise because of the ship (having sailed on it and it sister-ships twice before), the variety of destinations, and the selection of excursions at each port. Despite being one of the first Viking ocean vessels (circa 2016), the Viking Sea is beautifully maintained and the wear and tear from our first cruise on it in 2017 was minimal. The interior, staff, and organization was ...
We were told by a friend that a Mediterranean cruise would be a very worthwhile trip. We are so glad we took his advice. The Viking cruise line was very professional to work with from booking over the phone, monitoring reservations online, and the friendly staff on board. This cruise is for adults only, which we liked for this trip. My husband was surprised with a bottle of sparkling wine and cake ...
We travelled with our two adult kids to see 4 countries (8 cities) we had never seen before. I really enjoyed traveling on a smaller (900 passenger ship) rather than the other huge (4000+ passenger) alternatives - the ports where the other big ships showed up were noticeably overwhelmed.

A group of 5 friends sailed this amazing cruise. We chose it based on the great locations & we weren’t disappointed. This is our third Viking cruise and we really appreciate the consistency of the quality provided by Viking. From the minute we stepped on the ship, we were greeted with a smile & that happened the entire cruise. The Viking crew (all of them!) excel in customer service. The ...
We chose Viking on their impeccable reputation. They did not disappoint. It is obvious from day 1 that customer service is the priority. We were always greeted warmly by all staff no matter the time of day or night. The cabin stewards cleaned twice a day as well as restocked the mini fridge. The Freya products provided in the bathroom were great. I did not use my own products. The pools and decks ...
The ship was very nice…we liked the size of the ship compared to RCCL ships we have been on the past 32 cruises. Really liked no kids under 18 and no casino or smoking. Very friendly staff…John and April were best cabin attendents for our cabin 6080. Sharon down on Bar on Deck 1 was especially nice...you hire good people.
Food was very good at all venues…my only negative comment – the World ...
We traveled on a River Cruise with Viking in the past. We were very impressed with the service offered we wanted to try an Ocean cruise. The Viking team showed up with the same type service so it was easy to see it’s part of the company’s culture. The cabins cleaned twice a day, the ship was always clean, and the restaurants top notch.
In the restaurants the food was well prepared and tasted ...
We chose this cruise because of the ports visited that was on our bucket list for years. We sailed on the Viking Sea in 2019 and loved everything about the cruise. We had the same expectations after booking this cruise but we were immediately disappointed starting the first night on board. The food quality, selection, taste and presentation were lacking and mediocre at best. The food lacked ...
We booked a cruise with Viking, from Athens to Venice , and embarked on the cruise onJune9 of 2023 .The cruise is called “ Empires of the Mediterranean.”
No vegetarian should book with Viking !!
As my wife is basically a vegetarian, even before making the booking on the cruise, I had taken the trouble of calling Viking directly and speaking to somebody in the culinary department to ensure ...

We initially went on a Viking cruise per the recommendations of my sister and brother-in-law who are Viking veterans. We have never wanted to go on a cruise before because all we have ever seen about cruising. Are they hordes of people, waiting in line to do everything and getting nickels and dimes for all activities and extra events. We were so glad that we did go on a Viking cruise for our first ...
