Wanted to visit countries we hadn’t previously visited. Also wanted to travel to cooler summer weather. Viking did an outstanding job and attention to detail is the way they do it. We have traveled on other lines and we will always use Viking. Traveled with friends that we had met on a prior Viking cruise. Probably will do a river cruise in 2021 as we like to travel every other year on ...
We joined a group of friends already booked on the "Viking Homelands" cruise. We had never taken a cruise before so it was great going with friends that could show us the way!
I was more than impressed with every single detail of this experience. From the first minute to the last, it was 1st class all the way.
The Viking Staff are friendly, helpful and professional. The ship had ...
We were interested in visiting the west Coast of Norway and seeing the Arctic Circle - this cruise included that plus three stops in Scotland as well., It was an amazing trip starting i Oslo for before cruise scenery, then a train to Bergen where we embarked on our Viking ship, the Viking Sea. It was my first Viking Cruise and I was impressed particularly by the decor of the ship including my ...
From the moment we embarked to the moment we disembarked we were so impressed with the friendly staff, the cleanliness and overall treatment we received
The cabin was comfortable and we had everything we needed. Bathroom was bigger than expected. Our steward was excellent. Room was always clean , neat and he responded immediately when we requested something like extra wine glasses or extra ...

The ship design was excellent in placement of public rooms, restaurants, entertainment, and inside/outside deck areas. We utilized every space. Highlights were port excursions with knowledge and polite local guides attentive to guest needs and schedule. Port embark and disembark well organized staggered times, professional staff to assist, greet at all points. Evening entertainment by top notch ...
We chose this cruise for a few reasons:
Our very favorable river cruise on the Danube with Viking the year before which created the curiosity to see what an ocean cruise might be like
My desire to visit Scandanavia for the scenery, culture and food, particularly Norway and Sweden
We was very satisfied with the cruise. Our travel companions and us had different conclusions as to whether ...
My wife and I have cruised many times in the past. we usually cruise with some friends who decided that we all should cruise the Baltic for our annual cruise in 2019. They chose Viking Ocean cruises, due in no small part to the excellent reputation of which they had read and the fact that what could be better than to take a Scandinavian ship to cruise the Baltic.
At the outset, we were ...
The service on the ship was of the highest order. The cabin was very nice and had lots of room for for a two week cruise. While fancy dining is not our highest priority we did find the other choices for meals were more than adequate for our tastes. We really enjoyed the magician, he was top notch. The other entertainment was of professional quality. There were more than enough activities to ...
We had received suggestions to try Viking and wanted to experience a cruise. The Baltic area seemed like a logical place to cruise rather than do a land trip. This particular one included the Norwegian fjords as well as St. Petersburg and those were two of our priorities. We totally loved the attitude, attention and caring that we received from every crew member. The small details from the ...
