Viking Ocean Barcelona Cruise Reviews

I'm writing this review as someone without children in my late 30s. I knew going into this vacation that the average age skewed older (as first evidenced by all the stock images in My Viking Journey), so I hope my review might be helpful for others in my general situation. My husband and I are not typically cruisers, but after a long and trying year at work, we needed a vacation where we ...

Viking offers the best in cruising by far, even almost perfect. The accommodations, cleanliness, and style are unmatched in the industry. Attention to details seems to be a priority. The crew and especially our steward were excellent. I had a slight issue with the food. It was almost too generic. I would have liked more spice in my food. More pasta dishes would have made sense to me for ...

Chose this cruise to try an ocean cruise for the first time and to see the places where the ship would be docked. We really enjoyed the ship itself and how comfortable and smooth the cruise ship was. The restaurants, staff and all the things to do on the ship was above our expectations. The crew was so attentive and caring. The cleanliness of the ship was immaculate and the security in ...

We had sailed with Viking twice before, river cruises. Our room in the ship's stern afforded great views with a nice-sized balcony. Our room attendant, Danika, was wonderful to us. I cried when I said good-bye to her. I will say the positioning of bed on top of the closet's entrance, made things difficult when both of us were trying to retrieve clothes. We both found that food on river cruises ...

The main reasons for choosing this cruise was to sail the English Channel, North Sea, to visit Normandy, and to see the Rock of Gibraltar. Our stateroom was fantastic. Comfortable bed, plenty of room for a cruise ship, and a nice veranda with great views. The staff member looking after our room and needs was fantastic. She had a great personality. We met some nice people on the ship. The food was ...

We have vacationed many times to Europe and South America over the last two decades. This was our fourth Viking cruise ship. All have been outstanding in nearly every way. The crew and their competence, personal attention, and daily engagement with passengers is quite simply superlative. Throughout the ship, from cabins, to dining, to excursions, crew members are helpful and friendly. The dining ...

We chose this cruise because we had not yet been on a Viking Ocean cruise or been to the Mediterranean or Adriatic Seas; this particular itinerary offered numerous stops my husband and I were both interested in seeing. There were a couple of excursion glitches early in the cruise, but they were definitely eclipsed by the overall excursion quality, tour guide expertise and general Viking ...

We picked Viking ocean cruise because 1) we tried Viking river ocean in 2022 and we loved it. 2) Saturn is a new ship. Our family have cruised perhaps more than 35+ times in our life time and tried many different cruise line. Since my husband and I retired 10 years ago. We prefer the intimacy of the smaller ship, ships that are under 1000 passengers. We usually cruise with Oceania, Regent ...

What caught our attention for this cruise was the Itinerary. We went on our first Viking cruise last summer on an expedition ship (Octantis) to the Great Lakes and thoroughly enjoyed our Viking experience. Although, there were 5 sea days on this cruise, when we did find port, we very much enjoyed our excursions. The guides were knowledgeable and the pre-port lectures were helpful. The ...

My sister and I chose this cruise because of the destinations, mainly Barcelona and Rome. Every port was interesting and beautiful and the tours we took were very well organized. The Viking Sky was able to dock at each port and we didn’t have to take the time tendering. The ship is beautiful, clean and the service was excellent by every crew member we interacted with. It was nice to have ...
