Bergen Romantic Cruises Reviews

We chose this cruise because we wanted to see fewer large cities and more scenery and that's exactly what we got! A lot of Europe is now overrun with tourists and this was a pleasant change. So, instead of experiencing large crowds, we were able to go at times to fishing villages in small groups. There were also a wide variety of shore experiences for you to take advantage of depending on your ...

Had an Interest in the area that the cruise covered, Iceland, Norway, Shetland Islands, Orkney Island, Edinburgh, Scotland, England..Had done a previous Viking River Cruise and was impressed with the accommodations and the service so decided to try an ocean cruise with Viking. Really enjoyed the pre cruise option of several days stay with included tours in Iceland. The Geysir hot springs and the ...

We have cruised Princess, HAL, Celebrity and NCL before. This was our first Viking Ocean cruise. We arrived in Olso 2 days before the cruise and on our own booked in advance a "Norway in a Nutshell" 12 hour tour to Bergen as recommended by Rick Steves. It involved 3 different train rides, a Fjord boat tour and a bus ride all in one day, all very spectacular. Although unaccompanied, all the ...

We had had such a wonderful experience on Viking River Cruise, we decided to try the ocean cruise. It was more than we could have ever imagined. We enjoyed several days of the “Midnight Sun” and experienced the unbelievable beauty of Norway. The staff made us feel so special. The service was exceptional. With only 940 guests on the ship, you could always find a quiet place to curl up and read a ...

Such a wonderful experience on Viking’s new ocean vessel. It was our first experience on an their ocean vessel, but won’t be our last. Every part of the cruise was fabulous! Can hardly wait to book again. The entertainment was so incredible—who would expect the cruise director and assistant director to jump in and sing !! I mean really sing. Oh my. Such a 5 star experience!!!! Both the ...

We had previous enjoyable experiences with Viking River Cruises and wanted to try the ocean cruises. Into the Midnight Sun cruise was something we had looked forward to do. It was not a disappointment. Cabin was excellent and spacious with ample space for storage. Everything about the ship spoke to luxury. What was especially appealing was: no casino; no formal nights; no kids and no annoying ...

BACKGROUND My husband and I have cruised on our own sailboat from the US Eastern Seaboard through the Bahamas and all the way down the Caribbean Island chain. Sometimes it was unavoidable anchoring our boat in the same harbor where the ships docked. After seeing the cruise ships disgorge thousands of passengers on tiny islands, having to listen to their loud music and announcements, and ...

We had been on Viking River Cruises and rated those highly. The late June sail date allowed us to experience the midnight sun which is a "have to be there to appreciate it" moment. The Viking Star was every bit as good as a Viking River cruise and perhaps better. The ship size could be configured to hold twice as many passengers, but Viking decision to not cram in more beds, made the ship feel ...

Our desire to see Midnight Sun, Norwegian Fjords, the Orkney Islands, Edinburgh Castle and travel on a Viking Ocean Journey were the prime motivators for choosing this trip. All of the above were spectacular. What was a surprise was the fabulous staff: Restaurant staff, Buffet Staff, room steward...literally everyone we encountered couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. Also the excursion ...

So the Cruise to Norway, Scotland and England was marvelous. The first day when we arrived in Bergen we toured the ship. Our cabin was wonderful and the balcony let us go out and sit and see the city. The cabin seemed just right for two people. We walked around the Viking Star, saw the Restaurants, the Pool, the Lounge and everything was so nice. After dinner I left for a walk around Bergen. The ...
