Wonderful Cruise

Viking Orion

Australia & New Zealand

We choose this cruise because of the pricing and the inclusion of the flight in the price. It was a trip of lifetime made within our reach. Also, Viking is a “no” children cruise line something we prefer. ...

First time on Viking Ocean Cruise, surely not the last time on Viking

Viking Orion

Australia & New Zealand

We have come to avoid big ships, 1400+. We abhor having to walk through casinos and don't like the idea of a floating shopping mall, so we decided after 12 cruises on Holland America to try Viking. We may never go ...

Viking Orion Bali to Sydney Worst Shore Excursions Ever

Viking Orion

The Viking Orion is a beautiful ship with good food and stylish cabins BUT.... I would bet that none of the staff have ever been on one of their included shore excursions to test it out. If they had, none of the ...
