We chose the "In Search of Northern Lights" cruise because seeing northern lights was a top "bucket list" experience we wanted to have. We chose the particular date because it was the only cruise that had an ADA-compliant accessible stateroom still available when we booked almost a year ahead. As it turned out, this cruise had the best weather conditions for seeing the lights of any cruises by the ...
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 ...
Seeing the Northern Lights have been top of my bucket list for a while, so when a friend suggested we take this Viking cruise to Norway up above the Arctic Circle, I went for it.
Well, my friend lost her passport of the final flight of three to Bergen and it could not be found. She was devastated to find that she would need to travel to Oslo to obtain a new passport, but I have to tell you, ...
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 ...
The main reason we chose this cruise was to go do some activities in the snow. we prebooked and paid in full for the excursions we wanted to do. Eg: Stay in an Ice Hotel overnight, go reindeer sleighing, husky sleigh ride and ride a snow-mobile.
We DID NOT do any of these. We tried booking a helicopter ride at one of the replacement ports and that got cancelled too. Then tried to rebook a ...
Thank you, Loveshack117, for sharing your experience with us. Your kind words about our onboard staff are truly a testament to their dedication to your comfort. That said, we're sorry to...
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 ...
We took this cruise with the intention of seeing the Northern Lights, which we did. This was our third cruise with Viking and they do a great job in taking care of their passengers. The boats are immaculate and the food is excellent.
On the cruise, the second half of the cruise, and our planned excursions, were cancuelled due to weather. Consequently, we were unable to see planned areas and ...
We appreciate you sharing your experience, ChuckB57, although it is regrettable to hear of your disappointment. While sometimes adjustments are necessary to preserve the integrity of your...
We choose this specifically to see the Northern Lights–which we did!
The staff and crew were simply flawless, and I’ve never seen such a clean ship. The food was quite good. Very nice fitness center!
Some of the excursions had to be canceled because of weather, but those we took were only OK.
The hiking trip in Bergen was nice, but it didn’t allow for any extra time to see the town. ...
