"The Viking Star has only been in service for less than a year. The ship is well designed with only 930 passengers. There are no inside cabins.
We were in a junior suite on the 6th deck. The cabin was..."Read More
Having sailed on the River Yangtse with Viking we looked forward to experiencing an ocean cruise with them. The high standards of their river cruise was matched on this cruise from Barcelona to London.
We have cruised on a number of other companies ocean cruises but this was head and shoulders above all. Staff were courteous and helpful without being intrusive.
The ship belied the fact that ...
This was my first cruise and I wanted an adult experience on an upscale vessel to explore the Mediterranean. Viking exceeded my expectations in every regard from service to dining to cabin comfort. I have already booked my next cruise with Viking - a river cruise this time on the Danube - and have plans for yet another voyage next year, this time a trans-Atlantic trip. The crew was universally ...
It was a wonderful cruise. Spoiled me for any other cruise line. The restaurant food and service was lovely. Much beyond expectations. Our cabin steward was very attentive. The room was very nice and I loved the veranda. The cocktail staff were the best. For the most part, the included excursions were very nice. There were never any lines to get off or get on the ship. Everyone were so pleasant ...
We'd travelled on Viking Sky on our honeymoon, and knew the exceptional level of service that Viking aim to deliver, so this was a much anticipated opportunity to relax.
Cabins are all outside, all with balconies and furniture, so there was a wonderful sea view all the trip,.
Cabin was really well cared for by the housekeeper for our section, right down to fresh ice delivered twice a day, ...
Our first cruise was a Viking River Cruise. The idea of cruising was not high on our list, but friends encouraged us to join them. Everything exceeded our expectations. The quality of Viking staff and the amenities on-board the ship were outstanding, and this ocean experience was even better.
The idea of a large ship with thousands of people is not appealing to us. The smaller sized Viking ...
We choose the cruise because it hit 10 cities in 13 days. It was a great way to get a flavor of various countries so we could decide which ones to return to and spend more time.
There were 420 employees for 850 guests! A fantastic ratio that ensured a very high level of customer service.
Right from the start it was first class. Once we got our baggage it was less than 40 minutes before we ...
The highlight of this adventure was the the opportunity to visit the Holy Land. Exceptional service by all staff. You could really tell they enjoyed their work. I did not care for the "class" system on Viking where people who paid more for their cabins got special privileges like early choice of excursions and dining reservations. The free excursions seemed rather superficial with bus rides and ...
The service aboard the Viking Star was exceptional, and truly made our cruise experience very special. We want to pass along our sincere thanks to the excellent staff on the Viking Star.
There were some special occasions for us during the cruise. My husband celebrated his 60th birthday, and we also celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary. The staff went out of their way to remember these ...
We chose this cruise because it had all the cities and countries we where interested in visiting. The weather was another factor. Price for what was offered was unbeatable. The embarkation and disembarkation was smooth no hassle enough agents to get us on board no real wait time to be processed. We did arrive 3 hours early but there was no problem checking in and getting on board . Onboard we ate ...
My husband and I chose this cruise to celebrate our retirement with my sister and her husband. We happened to depart on my birthday, so Viking provided a bottle of champagne and cake in celebration. The first full day at sea was a day of exploration of this beautiful ship. From the Explorer’s Lounge with its beautiful view and lovely collection of model ships to the incredible spa with its Snow ...
