Chance of a Lifetime (sailed away)
"We chose this cruise based on a) the itinerary's final port of call to Troy and b) the fun time we experienced with Viking on our East Europe River Cruise.Still, as this was the major reason for this cruise with Viking, I must admit that I felt a huge disappointment in not stopping at Troy...."Read More

Review for Viking Venus to Europe - Eastern Mediterranean

It was our very first Viking cruise. We chose the Journey to Antiquities cruise because the schedule worked well with ours, the total package was priced reasonably, we haven't been to the specific places on this tour, and the call of "quality" beckoned. We've only read about "the Viking diffference" before and we wanted to experience it ourselves. Everything was as expected, and more... ...

I loved my first Viking experience, and I have always wanted to travel to Italy, so this cruise was a “no brainer”! The history involved in this journey was especially fascinating.The crew was amazing! Viking meets every possible need - some we didn’t even know we would have! We especially enjoyed the entertainment included. There was always something going on that was fun. The Viking Venus is ...

The overall cruise was great but the food selections and cabin were not up to par for a Viking sailing. The World Café has many of the same items each night (side dishes, fillers, salads) and the selections for the main courses were limited. Also on the night they served lobster we ate in the restaurant but when they served the lobster it was "fishy". I ate one bite and that was it. We went to the ...

There were several factors that attracted us to this cruise. The itinerary was excellent and was very well paced. Our interests focus more on discovering and exploring new places, than on the "at sea" cruising experiences. This cruise had the perfect balance of both.
Viking's all inclusive pricing was another major factor. The included shore excursions were very good and the anytime ...

We had always wanted to explore Ancient Greece. This made it easy and in style. Having a single room, being able to unpack our luggage once was wonderful. The food was excellent and the ship amazing. The maintenance and upkeep were impressive and the sights from the decks, lounges, food venues and our balcony were breath taking. The seas were smooth and the captain and crew were constantly trying ...

This trip was on my birthday bucket list and I have looked forward to this trip for many years! The ship is beautiful, restaurants excellent, food variety excellent, Chef Ivan's cooking class was fun, entertaining, and a good learning experience and staff was exceptionally responsive and always upbeat.
Overall a great time with two exceptions: (1) our trip to Volos, Greece was disappointing ...

We chose to see Greece on the Viking ship Venus because of the itinerary. We went in December, the “Quiet Mediterranean” time. We were not disappointed. The scenery was still beautiful with flowers blooming, olives and oranges on the trees and best of all, no crowds!
We chose the 4 day pre cruise extension in Athens which turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip.

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 ...

We sailed onboard Viking Venus on 4th November 2022 for the 'Ancient Mediterranean Treasures' itinerary. We have sailed with Viking before (both river cruises and an ocean cruise), but I have to sadly report that Viking's high standards are slipping to make them comparable to cheaper cruise lines.
Issues experienced were:
1) Poor service. On a daily basis we had to find waiters to serve us. ...

This was our second Viking Ocean cruise and we have done multiple Viking River cruises. Although our first Viking Ocean cruise a few years ago was disappointing, we wanted to give Viking another try. Unfortunately, our low expectations were met on this cruise too. This was the first Viking Ocean cruise for the others we were traveling with and they were similarly "underwhelmed."
The best part ...
