Baltic Sea Luxury Cruises Reviews

Executive Summary. (If you are not an executive, skip this paragraph.) The itinerary was "In Search of the Northern Lights." We saw the Lights four times over three nights, so in a sense this was a successful cruise. However, although Viking does many things well, they failed in one very important component - they did not meet the expectations of my taste buds! The menus were good, but the ...

This was our first time on a Viking cruise. We had taken many other cruises with various different companies in the past. We had heard good things about Viking. Both my husband and I thought the entire cruise was just average. We did experience bad weather during our cruise and missed a total of 4 ports, so instead of only having 1 sea day we had 5. The company said since it was weather ...

We chose this British Isles Explorer cruise because we have been on several Viking River cruises and have always loved the service and facilities that Viking offers. I am of English, Welsh and Scottish heritage and was very anxious to see the area. Because of the weather we were unable to go to Wales, Ulapool, the Scottish Highlands and the Shetland Islands and missed 4 shore excursions which ...

We responded to a special offer as we liked the look of the itinerary. Some guests arriving by private car found that the problems started before boarding as they had not been sent luggage labels. We phoned in advance to ask about this and were told that we get them at check-in. Great, but by then we would have dropped our car off for parking and our bags would have been taken by the baggage ...

Overall we enjoyed this line but likely not enough to be repeat guests. Food was not 6 star quality, not enough variety. At the buffets, often it was overcooked. Wine was very good though. Entertainment ok. Not great. Didn't like the fact that in all but two of the dining venues you needed a reservation. This allows for no spontaneous food decisions. Also would prefer that the restaurants ...

We booked this cruise to sample the “Cunard” experience. My wife and I have cruised with various other Companies over this last 11/12 years so I wouldn’t consider myself a novice. We boarded at Southampton having flown into Heathrow earlier in the morning. On arrival at the cruise terminal our taxi driver commented immediately that “ the old girl” meaning the QM2 was looking a bit tired. My ...

Our Cruise was disappointing at best. Let me first say that certain staff were excellent, our cabin staff, Tony, the bartender in Martinis, Barbara in Barista's, all great. . Others seemed undertrained. A server for breakfast service should know what a mimosa is. Tables should be cleared regularly, not when diners are standing around searching for a table. We usually just picked a dirty ...

Chose this cruise as wanting to do Iceland and everyday is a different port. However, once money paid, a sea day was miraculously introduced, with no explanation why one port was no longer part of the trip. one and a half day in Runavik with not much to do, so not sure why and the next port was cancelled due to bad weather (had we not stay in Runavik for 1.5 days we would have avoided the bad ...

Have cruised with Seabourn before the pandemic and loved the whole experience. Could not wait to go another Seabourn cruise. Unfortunately things seem to have changed big time. Service standards in the main dinning room were bad, as was TKs. Room staff great along with all the staff at the Colonnade. Food serving staff seemed harassed and unmotivated and not very attentive. Sometimes you had ...

The ship was spotless and the crew was great. This is a French company and most of the guests were French. There were Americans ans Brits also on the cruise. The room was very small but I assume that since the ship traveled canals and went through very narrow canals things had to be tight. The public rooms were really nice and spacous. For non Euopeans, all the tours were included. After we left ...
