Athens (Piraeus) Viking Ocean Viking Sky Cruise Reviews

We chose this cruise because it offered the opportunity to see many of the world’s finest cities, cultures, and historic landmarks in comfort and security. Viking delivered on promises of elegant ship design, culinary excellence, quality of staff, and excursion management. Everything was first class yet simple and understated. We also chose Viking to handle our air travel and transfers and were ...

Now, I'll provide suggestions to make the trip better. For ...

We chose Viking Cruise because several of our friends raved about their adventures with Viking; some had visited Antarctica, Alaska, Africa, the Mediterranean, and China (Explorer, Ocean, & River). In short, we loved our first cruise with Viking and your team made the experience fun, entertaining, informative, cultural, easy, and very memorable. We boarded the Viking Sky in September of 2023 in ...

We had been on a Viking river cruise in 2022 and wanted to try a Viking Ocean cruise vessel. We had only done the small river cruise and a small ship trip in Bora Bora. We were worried that 900 people would feel so crowded. It didn't the ship never felt super crowded with lines anywhere. This itinerary started in Athens and ended in Venice. We were excited about the Greek and Croatia ...

We have done 2 Viking river cruises but this was very disappointing. Poor communication concerning description of tours and difficulty of some walking tours. Food quality and preparation had a lot to be desired. Many times food was cold and we were not thrilled with the selections offered. Everything seemed to have fish it it. Could not cut steaks. Not enough pool waiters on hand. Many of ...

I have always been interested in classical history and philosophy and its influence on modern day society. I was not disappointed! Each port visit included aspects of history I’ve studied. I also visited sites of Christian apostles. The guides for the excursions were informative and friendly. The food and service on board was top-notch, especially Manfreddy’s and the Chef’s table. The World Cafe ...

I chose this cruise because I had never been to Greece or Turkey before. I was also very interested in the shore excursions that were offered and found every one of them as interesting as they were portrayed. The dining was exceptional and the staff went above and beyond. Our penthouse suite came with all the amenities and more. I can not say enough about Viking and their cruises, ocean or river. ...

This was our first cruise and chose Viking because of their reputation. We had friends who took other Viking cruise’s and raved about the experience. Viking did not disappoint us in any way from the flight reservations, airport arrangements, picking us up at the airport, luggage transfers,and hotel rooms. The experience on the ship was fabulous and the staff was more than friendly and ...

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 ...

My wife and I have sailed on many big-ship cruises and once on the Viking River longship. We decided to try the Viking Ocean cruise with the Included Airfare and pre- and post-cruise extensions. This review reflects our experiences onboard of the Viking Sky and other segments of our trip under the Viking care. • The best part of our journey was the 7 days on the Viking Sky. The ship itself is ...
