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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
We had taken Viking River cruises and decided to try the Viking Ocean. It did not disappoint. The ship is beautifully appointed and the staterooms are nicely done. Our stateroom was small but included everything we needed. The staff is very responsive and attentive. The entertainment includes singing and dancing and lectures by knowledgeable scholars. The food was excellent and includes two ...
This was the second cruise I booked, and there was no comparison between my first cruise and this one booked with Viking Ocean Cruises. From Bergen, Norway to Copenhagen, Denmark, this cruise surpassed my expectations. The ship was beautiful and very comfortable. The size of the ship was perfect. I had the opportunity to meet a variety of people, but the ship did not feel crowded. The meals ...
We chose this way to see Norway and Sweden. Denmark was a nice addition. We enjoyed the programmed trips but also made use of several additional on shore excursions. The trip didn't disappoint. With all the sightseeing came an education by Viking about the places we would visit each day and the countries. This helped us determine where to go and what to see at each port that we entered. ...
