1-10 of 18 Viking Ocean Viking Jupiter Cruise Reviews for Luxury to Europe - British Isles & Western from Barcelona
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 ...
Wanted to do a small ocean cruise and to see a sampling of cities and countryside. We were able to do most of the excursions we wanted. However, when we tried to sign up for some in advance, it indicated availability, but would not let us book (i.e. Porto - port wine). One was not as described - Filigree museum, but tour director said he would report discrepancy to Viking. All others were ...
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 ...
We decided to try Viking because of their reputation and the lure of a sailing on a smaller ship. We took the Trade Routes of the Middle Ages (Barcelona to Bergen) itinerary. We cruised on larger ships with Princess, Celebrity, Holland America, Royal Caribbean, and Carnival, to name a few but we wanted to try Viking and went full tilt, taking both the pre- and post-extensions in Madrid and ...
Selected this cruise because of promotional brochure indicating interesting ports of call. Promotional material didn't properly identify that many ports on this cruise were for a limited time, less than day, which made the cruise much less enjoyable and disappointing. Wouldn't have taken it if had known this fact. Scheduled for two days in Barcelona and left after first evening. Afternoon or ...
This was our first ocean cruise with viking. We had 2 days in madrid, spain prior to the cruise. The hotel, tours, services, and transfer were excellent.
Embarkation in barcelona went smoothly. The ship was very beautiful. The room was a standard veranda. It was nicely appointed and comfortable.
We liked the world cafe for dinning. It had a wide variety of foods each meal. The restaurant ...
We chose this cruise because it allowed us to visit parts of Europe where we had not travelled before, namely Spain and Portugal. We experienced a high speed train ride from Madrid to Barcelona where we saw Gaudi's architecture including La Sagada Familia. It was crowded but amazing, In Cartegena.our shore excursion included visits to the Roman theatre and historical museums. Later shore ...
I wanted a cruise that covered several countries over a two week period. I had never been on Viking before but the size of the ship attracted me at first. We were more than pleased with every aspect if this cruise. What stood out most was the organization of every aspect, there was always a Viking person available to guide or answer questions.
Our penthouse veranda cabin was lovely, we ...
This cruise checked many boxes for us. It included stops in Spain and Portugal as well as England, France, Belgium and the Netherlands (Amsterdam) and to top it all off, Copenhagen. The excursions were by and large informative and entertaining, dampened only by some cold rain in Madrid and Rouen. Otherwise all was great. We especially enjoyed Brugges and Amsterdam excursions, the guides were just ...
The itinerary was unbelievable ,to see So many countries ! The ship was one of Vikings new small ship ocean liners. A really beautifully layed out ship. The crew was exceptional. I have been on Seaborne and Silver Seas ships which were good but this Viking ship and all aspects of the cruise were exceptional. Of course everyone raves about the food on cruises but this ship made all others pale in ...
