We have cruised on many ocean cruises with other cruise lines. Having done River Cruises with Viking we decided to try their ocean cruises. We had been to all the countries on the Middle Ages Route except Portugal and Spain. The price of the cruise was good, the itinerary was interesting and included several ports we had never been into, love Viking services, so seemed a good fit. It was excellent ...
We like traveling in the fall. This cruise went at the right time and to places we haven’t visited before. Having loved The Grand European Viking river cruise we wanted to try an ocean cruise. We loved it! It was exciting to travel from Norway to Barcelona. Each country along the way was wonderful! Customer service was great from our room steward, the waiters, to the staff of guest services. The ...
Another family member had booked this cruise and we decided to TAG along.
The food was excellent and well prepared and served. The workers at the buffet and the staff couldn't have been nicer and friendlier.
The two girls that serviced our stateroom were a delight. Couldn't do enough for us and were very friendly. The entertainment was excellent for a smaller ship with less room to put on ...
We have cruised with Viking many times and have enjoyed them all very much. The staff takes such good care of you and the fact that you can unpack in your cabin. The food was to die for. There were so many different foods available that you did not have trouble finding something that you enjoyed. It was very interesting to see this part of the country. It did rain in Bergen as we flew in from ...
We chose this cruise, first, for the destination. We have always wanted to visit the British Isles. This cruise allowed us to get a taste of several countries, and multiple cities all in one vacation. We chose Viking because they offered this trip, it also because the value of the cruise was well worth it. It is not the least expensive one out there, but we agree that it is of the best value. ...
We chose this cruise because our friends were going. The itinerary was through the British Isles. I really liked Norway and many of the stops in Scotland were nice. Britain and Ireland were great as well. Could’ve used one or two less stops in Scotland as many were simply fishing villages on a little island. Would rather have stayed in one of the cities such as Edinburgh longer.Some of the ...
The cruise exceeded our expectations in every way.
• The ship and our room were gorgeous. Every aspect of the ship was lovely and we never felt like we were crowed.
• The ports were well chosen.It was a wonderful way to see lots of different ports some of them quite remote--Shetland Islands and Orkney.
• There were many available excursions.There were excursions form every interest and ...
After 26 cruises this was our first on Viking; surely, not our last. I'll get over our one gripe first and move on to the positives. On the evening sail from Bergen, we visited the ship's apparel shop in search Viking's red and white signature Dale of Norway sweater. My wife resisted buying other attractive sweaters in Bergen's shops with Viking's signature sweater in mind. The shop had no stock ...
We chose Viking Cruises because of its' reputation as being the best cruise line in the industry. The British Isles Explorer cruise allowed us to see ports we had not visited before in Norway, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, Ireland and England. The included tours were excellent. In fact' we added 4 tours (total 18) to insure we saw all the things we wanted to see during our 14 day cruise. ...
