Barcelona to the Mediterranean Viking Ocean Viking Sky Cruise Reviews

Everything onboard was beyond expectations. The food, service, activities, cleanliness, and comfort - top shelf. I loved the heated floor in the bathroom and the large shower. I found few waiting times for anything. There were many nice areas for card games or intimate visiting with friends. I enjoyed the lovely music in the atrium and especially the guitar player in the Explorers Lounge. The ...

This was our second Viking Ocean cruise and, due to personal circumstances, the first on which we were fully able to relax and appreciate. Our expectations were high but tempered: the actual experience far exceeded our hopes and dreams. Service was even better than on our first cruise. From the room stewards to the outstanding bar staff (we use that a lot) and wonderful, welcoming, attentive ...

We chose Viking based on our age (newly retired), preference for smaller ships and an adult environment. We choose the Iconic Western Mediterranean itinerary because of the absence of days at sea, which maximized our time in port. Also our travel agent advised that fall sailings can encounter rougher seas; this itinerary stays near the coast where wave action is much less. We've previously ...

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 ...

This Mediterranean Cruise was a buck list item. The whole experience was terrific. The ship was very comfortable with all sorts of choices for meals and for places to just sit and relax. There was entertainment everywhere, from pianists to guitar players to shows in the theatre. The size of the ship was perfect with 900+ passengers. Big enough to have variety and options on board, but small ...

A first time cruiser, the Viking Sky shattered all my expectations. The cabins were comfortable, the staff was incredible, the food was delicious, the common spaces were approachable and elegant, and the excursions were seamlessly organized. The port talks before each destination ensure that you are prepared, the flow of getting of the boat and on to transportation is flawless. There was a great ...

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 ...

I have been wanting to take a Viking cruise for several years. During COVID lockdown, we were having a "virtual Happy Hour" with some friends and they suggested we go ahead and book something for after the world returned to normal. We all agreed that a Viking cruise was something we all wanted to do, so we bit the bullet and booked for 2023. Definitely the best idea we had during lockdown! We ...

First cruise on Viking and probably last. So many details are lacking compared to say Oceania or Azamara. First food is very average… short handed in all dining rooms. If you want another glass of wine you have to go get. Our balcony cabin was very small and very cheap. The closet was so narrow had to turn hangers side ways to close doors.one door stuck all the time. Shower leaked from door. They ...

We had this cruise booked a couple of years ago and it got canceled due to COVID so we re-booked for 2023. It was probably the best cruise we ever took and now have two more cruises booked on Viking for 2024 and 2025. Viking has now become our favorite cruise line. The ship was in great condition - like it was brand new, The crew was friendly and great to be with. The food was great no matter ...
