This trip was postponed from over a year ago due to Covid. The excursions we were able to choose from were exceptional. We are history buffs, so being able to walk the beach of Normandy and Stone Henge was quite memorable. We were also able to explore Puerto by Segway. That was a new experience. We went into many ports that were small, so the towns were not over crowded with the exception of ...
We have never been on Viking and were anxious to try them. We picked this cruise because it ended in Barcelona. First, managing the pre-cruise was a nitemare. Viking was no help and the system was terrible. They sell out shore excursions to hi-end before balcony cabins have a chance. Help for figuring out covid requirements per country was non existent. On our connection flight we landed to find ...
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 ...
I chose this cruise to visit many places that were new to me. The ship facilities and crew were very nice. The food and wines were delicious and varied. I enjoyed dining at the specialty restaurants also.
My biggest disappointment was lack of free time to shop after included tours. Because of the distance between the port and city downtown area ( in many ports), it was difficult to get ...
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" ...
6th trip with Viking as always what Viking has control over is managed in an excellent manor. Ships are spotless and I can say I have never seen a crew member with out a smile. The crew anticipates my needs and never has disappointed me . The crew is responsive to all request and I have always felt welcome. If viking had control of the weather every cruse would even better. The variety and ...
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 ...
This cruise left out of Bergen Norway, to the Norwegian Fjords, Oslo, Denmark, and ending in Amsterdam. We ended up not being able to stop in Denmark because of high winds, so they headed to Amsterdam, and we got two days there instead.
We chose Viking Ocean initially because we had heard such great things about them, and we prefer a smaller ship with less passengers. They are more ...
This was our first cruise and we loved it. We chose Viking Homelands because friends took it and raved about it to us.
I did have trouble with sea sickness the first night out of Bergen while traveling out into the North Sea, rough waters.
The medical team took good care of me and I was fine for the rest of the trip.
Loved the cabin, decor, service, ammenities, food, spa, entertainment, ...
