We booked a cruise from Barcelona to Venice (Fusina). We travel independently, and planned four days in Barcelona before taking a taxi to the ship. A week before embarkation, we were told it would now take place in Tarragona (105 km away). Any transfer plans for independent travelers? Sorry, said Viking. You are on your own. Our 90 minute taxi to Tarragona cost $185 euros.
A week after we got ...
This was our first Viking Ocean, and we loved the Sky. We booked the Barcelona to Venice segment of the Mediterranean cruise. With approx 1,000 passengers the boat still felt intimate. The crew was amazing, particularly the wait staff and our cabin steward Dickie. We were in Cabin 4036 - which is mid-ship and just a couple of flights of stairs to everything. We had done a Viking river, and the ...
EVERYTHING ON THE CRUISE FAR EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS. The ship was beautiful, service was better than outstanding, crew very friendly, always smiling (while they wore masks, you could see it in their eyes!!) Food excellent, very good entertainment, all excursions we enjoyed other than Cartagena and the Gold, Silver factory in Bergen. Cartagena not a good stop. The COVID protocol was not a ...
By and largest, the cruise itself was just wonderful and really the trip of a lifetime. The stops along the way are to places you always dream of wanting to visit. The service onboard was great and the food, amenities and cabin were also great. Would love to see 2 days in Rome instead of 1. All of the excursions were great, however, many were sold out prior to us being able to even choose any ...
This was our first Viking Ocean cruise. We love Viking River and we expected the same wonderful experience from Viking Ocean, but this cruise exceeded all expectations. The staff were wonderful, the food magnificent, the itinerary was well planned out and the excursions were amazing (despite some annoying, lingering covid-19 restrictions in the countries we visited). We were not expecting the ...
I was approached by a very good friend of mine who asked me did I want to take this dream trip with her and her adult daughters and their spouses. I said of course! Her daughter planned it and all we had to do was be at the airport for the flight.From the flight to Barcelona to the return flight from Venice it was one of the most enjoyable and positive experiences ever. The staff were all just ...
My husband and I had done a Viking River Cruise several years ago so I knew that I wanted to choose Viking for our Ocean Cruise. I planned this cruise 2 years ago as a 50th birthday gift but because of COVID it was delayed. My Daughter had told me what she wanted to visit and I looked for the Cruise and dates that best suited our Mother/Daughter vacation. My Daughter is a 5th grade teacher and so ...
We chose to go on this cruise with friends to celebrate our anniversary. All of the ports were beautiful, the ship was extremely comfortable, never an issue with weather or sea sickness! The crew was incredibly efficient, friendly, and helpful, especially our attendant Adi!
We enjoyed the buffet….certainly enough healthy options! Never any issues with lines. Also loved Manfredis. Wonderful ...
Multiple countries visited with great included and optional tours. The included tours and optional tours all had knowledgeable tour guides and with the Quiet Vox you are able to hear all important information. The history, art and architecture of the Renaissance city of Florence, the Vatican and Roman sites along with the Sistine Chapel were incredible. The visit to Pompeii with a very ...
We enjoyed our opportunity to see Sagrada Familia on the pre-trip as during the trip this excursion was sold out before the opening date for excursions. We loved our balcony room and proximity to the elevator. The ship was friendly, clean, and elegant. We spent the extra money for every excursion because the included trips did not allow for any in-depth experiences. We enjoyed the tour to ...
