Barcelona Viking Ocean Viking Jupiter Cruise Reviews

Our only other cruise experience was The Inside Passage to Alaska. After hearing rave reviews by neighbors and acquaintances, we elected to give Viking a try! Also, my wife, Nancy, was excited by 21 days of travel with NO packing/unpacking! Viking is impressive. Layout of the stateroom, furnishings of the Ship, eating options, selection, and training of the staff - everything has been ...

This was our 19th cruise, but our first on Viking. Previously, we've sailed on a number of the mainstream lines, as well as Oceania. Our experience on Viking was largely excellent, with a few minor cavils. Here's our list of positives and negatives: Positives: - Wonderful service attitude. They're always extremely accommodating - Beautiful ship. Like a fine, high-end hotel - Excellent ...

It seemed to be a very interesting cruise, with the opportunity to visit places that we had never been to or for some time. The food on Viking Jupiter was excellent, the offerings in the Chef's Table were magnificent, the menus we chose were Great Britain 2: Cuisine from an Island Nation and Erlings Nordic Bistro. The second one was very Scandinavian themed, and very enjoyable. The entertainment ...

It was a gift. Every aspect of the cruise was fantastic. The officers were friendly, professional, competent and committed to passenger needs, comfort, & safety, Crew were unfailingly polite, friendly, anf responsive to passenger requests. The ship is fantastic, with more than ample public spaces. Impeccably decorated and at the same time functional. Meals were first rate - in fact, ...

We had previously sailed on 3 Viking river cruises. Our next-door neighbor told us that Viking ocean cruises were the tops in luxury, so we thought we'd take make our first ocean cruise a big one. Thank goodness we purchased the Viking Air as a hurricane was hitting Florida on the day we were supposed to fly out with a connecting flight in Miami. Viking took the initiative and rerouted us ...

We chose this cruise because we wanted a transatlantic crossing on a luxury liner to enjoy sea days and world class ports. The cruise exceeded all of our expectations. We were in a Penthouse Veranda and had ample space to relax, and even to invite new friends over for a cocktail. The beds were comfortable and the room and bathroom were immaculate. We loved the large bathroom, with heated floor, ...

I have been on a Viking River Cruise so Viking was my first choice for an ocean cruise. And the fact that it was a smaller, more intimate ship made it just what I was looking for...and the itinerary couldn't have been more spectacular. Within a day, staff knew our names and by day 2 knew our drink preferences. Attention to detail was amazing. And the ship itself was aesthetically pleasing ...

Prior to my Viking Jupiter cruise, I had only been on one cruise, and I didn't like it. It was a huge ship (I won't say the name but suffice it to say, way too many people). My friends talked us into this cruise (Viking) as they have done a couple cruises with Viking. I was reluctant but we went. IT WAS AWESOME! The ship was absolutely clean, the crew was so friendly and attentive, the excursions ...

This was our third Viking cruise. We had been on two other cruises through other cruise lines. Viking is so much better than they were. The crew was wonderful. We grew so fond of the various servers that it was sad when we had to disembark. The food was great, as were the drinks. I highly recommend the Silver Spirits package. It was fun to try the drinks our bartender in the Explorer Lounge bar, ...

We have enjoyed a Viking River Cruise in the past, but it's hard to find a river from Barcelona to Italy. There were many similarities with the river cruise, including great food and a staff that lives to please. The Chef's Table originally felt like an iffy choice for us, but we enjoyed both nights we dined there. Reindeer Consume was not our usual fare, but the adventure was a pleasant ...
