Bergen Luxury Cruises Cruise Reviews

We chose this cruise because we wanted to see the natural beauty of Norway. While we saw some of it, the tours were mediocre at best, the cultural experiences and food were lacking and contrived, and most importantly, expectations were managed so poorly that it was a big problem any time you needed information. From Covid testing to basic information on luggage, transfers, ...

We had previously been on four Viking river cruises, all positive experiences. This was our first Viking ocean experience. It had been rescheduled twice prior to our actual embarkation. The ship itself is of a decor much to our liking, Scandinavian and somewhat spare in appearance without being stark. The staff was unfailingly polite and helpful. The food was always prepared very well and was ...

We chose this cruise because we were invited by friends to see the Northern Lights. We had never been to Norway nor on a Viking Ship and had never been on a cold winter cruise. We were ready to cruise again after 2 years of no cruising. Also, Viking made us feel safe by constant testing, masking and a small group. Also felt safer with all immunized people and no children. The ship was ...

There were plenty of bucket list items to check off on this once-in-a-lifetime cruise: seeing the Northern Lights, going dog sledding and snowmobiling, seeing the ice hotel in Sorrisniva, and going to a Sami camp. This was our first (but not last) ocean cruise on Viking. We chose this cruise for the adventurous excursions and the chance to get off the beaten path in cold and snowy Norway. From the ...

We have just returned from our first-ever cruise (Viking Northern Lights). We chose Viking because of its business model which appeared to suit our general requirement for high-end travel. Unfortunately, the reality didn’t quite meet Viking’s service-level claims. Much of what they do is good, but there are many areas that require finessing before it can truly claim to deliver a luxury travel ...

Sailed from Bergen to Narvik, Alta, Tromso, Bodo, Stavanger ending in London. GREAT service, Super COVID Protocols and cleanliness. We have cruised on 10 plus cruise lines and Viking did an outstanding job with excursions, food, service, COVID, and more. Enjoyed the Aurora Borealis from the ship, in Alta and Tromso. Dogsledding was amazing. Beautiful countryside and people. Viking did a ...

Operations during the COVID lockdown were more difficult and restrictive for passengers and crew but the 450 plus passengers completed the trip without incidents as far as we could determine. The safety protocols in place restricted passenger movement on ashore excursions keeping passengers in a bubble much like the NBA playoff protocols earlier in 2021. We expected this based on phone calls to ...

We wanted to see the Northern Lights and we wanted the lap of luxury that Viking offers. We received both, luckily with the Northern Lights, and gladly and affirmatively with Viking. From the first greetings to the last goodbye they all make you feel like every part of your stay with them matters. The ship is immaculate, which is important to me. The food was excellent, the entertainment is ...

I chose this cruise when Viking e-mailed us a very good offer with zero single supplement. We arrived from LHR at 2.30pm and quite quickly we were through the airport checks. It’s much faster if you have VERIFLY completed. We were directed to waiting buses and transferred to the ship. In under 10 mins we had completed our check in documents and stateroom card in hand walked out to the ship First ...

Because of Covid and resulting cancelation of most cruises during the summer of 2021, we were not able to take a planned cruise on another line in August. However, we found an 8 day cruise on Viking which circumnavigated Iceland. We had been to Reykjavik before, but nowhere else in Iceland, so decided to take the cruise. Viking has an awesome Covid protocol so we felt we could do it safely. We ...
