We choose this cruise to see the Northern Lights. We lucked out with the best weather ever! Captain said it was the best cruise weather of the season! We were in Alta or the best display of the northern lights ever! The lights appeared 4 out of the 6 days we were in the artic zone! Fabulous service, fantastic room. Great food choices! Excellent enrichment speakers. This was as close to ...
I wanted to experience something very different and my Viking cruise “In Search of the Northern Lights” fulfilled that dream.
The ship, the crew, the excursions were all FANTASTIC. I could not ask for anything more in a cruise. Dining experience from elegant room service to dinner at the Chef’s Table were all top notch.
Excursions exceeded expectations, ie, The Knitting Factory tour in ...
We chose to cruise on Viking because of their reputation. This was our first time cruising with them and it won't be our last. We loved this cruise line!!! If you need to be entertained with activities like games and exercises every day, this cruise line is not for you. We enjoyed presentations about how to take better pictures, which you wouldn't think would be something you'd want to attend, ...
On our journey in Search of the Northern Lights, we were redirected by hurricane-force winds, the threat of an avalanche and had overcast skies much of the time. Our intrepid Captain rerouted us to safer ports and scenic fjord-lined channels to other ports of call. The staff worked tirelessly to set up excursions in our unexpected ports of call. The food and the service was superior.
We had one ...
We love Viking. Because of weather we could not go to 2 of our ports. They did a wonderful job in getting new pots with great excursions. The service is so good. I have dietary restrictions and they accommodate them extremely well. The Chef's Table is superb, but all of the restaurants serve excellent food. This was a Northern Lights cruise and they alerted
us even late at night so we ...
Viking is first class all the way. Their customer service is second to none!
We had a change in itinerary due to severe weather conditions in Northern Norway but they put together a new itinerary for us that was incredible! Viking really goes out of their way to make sure that we are satisfied and I truly appreciate that.
The entertainment was so great. Loved the piano music every night ...
This was our 7th cruise but the first one on Viking. We picked "Trade Routes of the Middle Ages" due to its 7-country itinerary and Viking's reputation for service. Viking impressed us in all areas and we'll definitely sail with them again in the future.
Services:
1. We missed our flight connection in Amsterdam (AMS) partly due to our own fault getting lost and Viking Air giving us only a ...
It included parts of Europe we haven't seen before. My wife has always wanted to see Barcelona which she enjoyed very much. Service and food were wonderful. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the ship especially in our cabin. I was blown away with the quality and professionalism of the entertainers on board and I was glad to be introduced to Mary Jess who I had never heard of. Her voice ...
This cruise was chosen due to the exciting itinerary. We were especially interested in the Normandy Memorials near Le Havre, France; seeing Stonehenge, and Belgium. As always, this cruise came with a nice pre excursion in Oslo with the train ride over the mountain to Bergen. The train trip was awesome. AT this time of the year there was still some snow on the mountains which added to the "WOW" ...
This was our first Viking ocean cruise. Always felt welcome on board. The food and service were top flight. Passengers should tip more generously. With 900 passengers on board, we never felt crowded. There was one instance when we were unable to find 4 seats in a lounge during a pre dinner happy hour. There are a few things that Viking can improve including the restaurant reservation process and ...
