We booked the cruise a little over a month before we sailed. It was the best thing we ever did.. My wife contacted a travel agent and they managed everything. The ship was great. Clean, well built and well laid out. Everything was spotless. It was easy to find your way and find what you wanted. The cabin was also spotless. It was a joy to stay there. The cabin steward was very proficient, ...
We had been on several river cruises, but this was our first Ocean. We were very happy with the Viking River cruise (especially the limited number of passengers) and wanted to try the Viking Ocean as it was much larger but still limited to 900 passengers.
We were surprised at how we never felt crowded on the ship, the additional restaurant options were great, and we took advantage of room ...
We chose this cruise because others told us about their wonderful experiences and they were right! Planning the trip on the website was so easy. Filling out the forms and having access to important information throughout the process was extremely helpful. The transfers and security were run seamlessly. Every single staff member that we encountered, was professional, courteous and very kind. The ...
This was our third Viking cruise, our first ocean cruise. We loved it so much that we arranged another Viking Scandinavian cruise while we were sailing. We loved the ship, the crew, the food, and the excursions — everything! The ship is beautiful, with enough space that we could get away from everyone if we wanted quiet, but enough activity that we could feel part of the action. I appreciated how ...
Had to choose cruise to make up for longer Malta cruise cancelled due to covid. Chose cruise for fjord scenery and big upgrade in room. Loved the Penthouse Suite which saved the day in so many ways. Huge, comfortable, large, working shower, lots of storage and terrific butler with staff. So many very professional staff showing Viking has improved training big time but still need work in some ...
We traveled on the Waterways of the Tsars with Viking a few years ago before covid hit. It was an exceptional experience. We decided to try the ocean cruise combined with a river cruise for my wife's and my 65th birthdays. Together we totally enjoyed the ship. The staff was superb and the food outstanding. We were quite disappointed with all of the land excursions. I guess we were spoiled on ...
This was our first cruise and it was beyond what our expectations could ever be. The crew of the Viking Venus was amazing, friendly, caring and truly made the cruise portion unforgettable! The amenities of the ship and the quality of entertainment was fantastic and made for some fun evenings.
The shore excursions were immersive and really made for a balanced trip of relaxion and educations. ...
My wife is of Scandinavian descent so we wanted to see the fjords of Norway and touch Denmark. We were able to cruise up close to very small villages and experience the friendly atmosphere of the country. The small cruise ship is the perfect size. The food selection is incredible and service is top notch. Service on Viking ships is more personal than any other cruise line we have been on. ...
We chose this cruise because we love Norway, and wanted to visit in winter to try to see the northern lights. Viking offered this cruise beginning with two days in Bergen, giving us time to both recover from jet lag and enjoy shopping in Bergen, We also paid Viking to arrange our air travel, so as to insure a seamless arrival in the event of any disruption.
Well, one of the flights ultimately ...
I hadn’t been to any of the destinations on this cruise but the destination I was really excited about was Eidfjord, and I wasn’t disappointed.
We flew to Bergen and were met by Viking representatives at baggage reclaim. As soon as our luggage appeared we were escorted to the waiting transfer minibus. As we arrived late afternoon we went straight up to our cabin after a very smooth check in ...
