Bergen Senior Cruises Reviews

We thoroughly enjoyed a two week Baltic cruise a year ago on the Star's virtually identical sister ship the Viking Sea, but were mildly disappointed on this repositioning cruise. Perhaps Viking is having some challenges keeping up with their rapid expansion. Perhaps nothing's quite as good the second time, even Viking's new Ocean Ships. Perhaps we shouldn't expect as much on a repositioning ...

I absolutely loved the experience and everyone that worked to make my time enjoyable. From the moment we were greeted at the airport to how quick and painless the embarkation was. Once inside, the ship was breath taking and beautiful. The cabin and bath were fantastic, and our luggage arrived about 5 minutes after we did, with plenty of room for storage of our things. The Dining was simply over ...

I chose this cruise because I have always wanted to go to Norway and to Barcelona so this turned out to be a cruise where I could do both. I also love England and was excited about going to two ports where I have never been before. I was especially excited about going to Falmouth (this was the most important port for me), which was unfortunately cancelled due to weather. The ship was beautiful ...

Having been on several cruises, we wanted to try a small ship and experience the Norwegian west coast fjords. The actual trip was a good experience with friendly crew members, interesting fellow travelers and the very majestic scenery. We had really good weather and were treated to the Northern Lights on several evenings. The Nordnorge was fun to sail on. However, I cannot be as positive ...

My wife and I are nearing retirement and fortunately still have our health. We chose this cruise, because of the itinerary: we started in Norway, and visited the Netherlands, Belgium, France, England, Portugal, finishing in Spain. This was interesting, and we visited many different and beautiful places. Our cabin, and the crew that supported us were top shelf. We probably will not go on a ...

We really enjoyed this cruise as our first Viking Ocean cruise. We had three disappointments, however. The one day we had for shore excursions in Bergen, Norway didn't occur because a major bicycle race was taking place which didn't allow for the various tour buses for the excursions. We found out about this a few days before the cruise. With Bergen being such a big port for Viking, we feel ...

We wanted to cruise the Baltics and saw that Viking had a cruise on a date that would work for us. We had done a Viking river cruise a few years ago and were curious about the ocean cruise, so decided to give it a try. There were a few glitches, but we were not disappointed overall. I have to say the staff is remarkable. They are polite, intelligent, humble, and very accommodating. Our cabin ...

Overall we had a good experience. Had a few issues with the cabin. The bathroom door in our cabin would squeak when you opened or closed the door. This was very disturbing, especially in the night. Whenever my wife or I went to the bathroom in the night, the door would squeak and we would wake up the person sleeping. This took four day to be repaired. Hence the first few nights were ...

The Viking Star is a wonderful ship. It is very roomy for the 930 people on the ship. There are plenty of outlets that are 110v so no need for a converter. By each side of the bed are outlets and charging stations. We had a penthouse veranda and it was quite roomy. We were on the 5th level in the middle. I would say the "even" side of the rooms had better vantage points when in port. You are ...

We wanted to get away from Atlanta's hot weather and really liked the itinerary of the Viking Homelands cruise. We had a wonderful time and met a lot of really nice folks. What was really amazing was how organized Viking was. The food was awesome and we learned a lot about the various ports we visited. We also felt the guides hired to lead the excursions were very good. We enjoyed all of the ...
