1-10 of 59 Viking Ocean Viking Jupiter Cruise Reviews for Luxury to Europe - British Isles & Western from Bergen
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, ...
What we liked: Everything Viking did was great! The ship was modern, spotless, right-sized....just an overall wonderful ship. The staff and crew were very friendly and always willing to help. We always found something good to eat and gained the customary poundage. The destinations were fabulous on this itinerary.
What we didn't like as much: Sea days were somewhat boring. Yes, we could ...
Two problems - skipped a key port and challenging for someone with a dairy sensitivity! The itinerary for this trip looked great but we were unable to stop in Edinburgh, one of the main stops we were interested in. We spent the day cruising around the Orkney Islands instead. The scenery was beautiful, but we were really looking forward to Edinburgh. Rumors were that the ship that was blocking ...
For celebrating our 50 th anniversary we chose Viking for it’s high ratings and ideal itinerary.
Pros-
Ship is beautiful.
Embarkation was easy and well organized.
Bathroom storage is very good and heated floors with nightlights was great.
Food quality was very good.
Cabin stewards were excellent.
Cons-
Guest services- Literally, never gave us the right answer to any ...
This was our third viking cruise, (the first two were euro rivers,) and second ocean cruise ever.
I appreciate everything Viking does and tries to be. A quieter, more intimate experience with cultural enrichment and classical entertainment. The loud, roudy ocean liners with casinos, kiddos, and cigarette smoke are so not our scene.
Viking ocean cruises are a better compromise for those who ...
After 25 cruises, we thought we'd try Viking due to excellent reviews. We were underwhelmed. Firstly, two important ports were canceled (Edinburgh- another ship unexpectedly remained in the berth reserved for our ship) and Dublin due to poor weather. We received no compensation for port duties and missed excursions; we were offered $500 credit towards a future cruise. The service in the dining ...
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 ...
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 ...
We took this cruise because we had a voucher we received from Viking due to previous covid related planned river cruises. We had previously taken three Viking River Cruises which were excellent. Organization was outstanding; communication with passengers also excellent; excursions were great. Naturally, we expected the same on an ocean cruise however, that turned out not to be the case. ...
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 ...
