Barcelona to the Mediterranean Viking Ocean Viking Star Cruise Reviews

This cruise covered a large section of the Mediterranean Sea so I felt it would give us a broad view of history and architecture, my interests. We arrived in Barcelona on time and boarding was very smooth, our ship was docked very near the Ramblas and that made it easy to get to this fabulous city. In fact all our ports and cities in the itinerary are treasures that only get better the more you ...

We have sailed on multiple lines and have a number on premium lines like Oceania. Having had a positive experience on Viking River, we took our first cruise with Viking Ocean. The ship was very comfortable and the service was extraordinary. The 900 passenger size made it feel large enough to have the amenities we wanted, but small enough to be cozy and make new friends. The entertainment ...

Small ship, great shore excursions. The food venues were fantastic and the entertainment venues were fabulous. I would not way to be on a larger ship, it would be too crowded. We loved the Barcelona excursion of Gaudi Architecture. Monaco was impressive. We loved Pisa and Lucca. Rome is indescribable. The Amalfi Coast was beyond words. Being on the edge of a cliff is breathtaking. We saw ...

We loved our two Viking river cruises and had never been on an ocean cruise, so, of course, we chose Viking for our first ocean experience! It was even better than we had hoped it would be! The Star was beautifully decorated and gave us a feeling of peaceful elegance! Our room was so comfortable and the shower was amazing! I didn’t even miss my Sleep Number bed or my tub for bubble baths! The ...

This was an excellent cruise. We very much enjoyed that the cruise was not overcrowded. We had great room service staff that went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we could possibly need. They have a wonderful spa area. Everyone should try the snow grotto. Evening entertainment was great. Very talented staff. Manfredi’s is a must do. The food was fabulous. The world cafe always has a ...

The 12 night Viking Mediterranean odyssey cruise was our 1st trip to Europe in celebration of our retirements this year. Viking was by far superior to the other 3 cruise lines we’ve previously traveled with. The ship and food were high quality and absolutely amazing. All the complimentary amenities- free excursion in each port, high tea, speciality dining and free wine and beer with meals, ...

My sister had never been outside the US and when I went to Barcelona 2 years ago she said to take lots of pictures because that would be the closest she’d ever get to Europe. I said “WHY?!?” She said her husband hates traveling. I said, “You don’t need him to go, I’ll go with you!” And the adventure was on! For 13 glorious days we explored a total of 8 countries and fell in love with every one of ...

We chose this cruise because we had never been to Europe and wanted to see as much as possible. We chose Viking because of the great reviews from friends and the small number of passengers. We also liked that there were no passengers under the age of 18. We were expecting a great cruise and it far exceeded our expectations. The food crew, excursions were all wonderful. Our cabin was large and very ...

Friends suggested an Ocean Cruise in the Mediterranean. We had not been on an ocean cruise before so we really had no expectation. We had completed two river cruises (one with AMA and one with Viking) and enjoyed the rivers. Viking Ocean was a much bigger ship that I expected, however, it is spacious. Viking designed the ship in such a way that there are various sitting/bar/game areas. You ...

The Viking Star was beautiful and clean, and the staff were efficient, organized , pleasant and helpful and the food was terrific. Every excursion was organized very well and we loved every city we visited. My husband loved having the lectures from the history professors about the cities we were visiting and it was so fun for them to talk us through what we were seeing as we sailed in to the ...
