Bergen to Europe - British Isles & Western Viking Ocean Viking Sea Cruise Reviews

I have always wanted to see the fjords, despite having no connection to Scandinavia. Cruising is the only way to fully experience these magnificent waterways and the majestic mountains that limn the coast for a thousand miles. Viking stresses education along with the fun of travel, and the lectures and presentations on board were enlightening and quite entertaining as well. Every effort was made ...

Loved Viking's selection of the ports of call in Norway and Scotland. They captured the beauty of the areas and most towns were small enough so you could see how the people of the area lived. The food in the restaurants - even the World Café - was top notch. The staff was excellent and helpful. Several staff (in the restaurants, Explorer Bar, room attendant) made a point to greet us by name in ...

This is our first Viking ocean cruise, our second Viking cruise and our fifth cruise overall. We chose Viking for our Norway-London trip because of the amazing experience on the Amsterdam-Budapest riverboat cruise -- and we are glad we did! We enjoy the "kids free" environment, the focus on local culture and, of course, the friendly faces of the Viking crew. My initial impression of life on ...

I wanted to take this cruise from the first time it appeared in the catalogue. It did not disappoint! Norway was stark and beautiful, 24 hours daylight was disconcerting, and the ship was new and beautiful. The staff went above and beyond to make the cruise special. It's great to meet folk from all over the world (staff and fellow travelers). The entertainment was excellent. Our resident ...

I would not hesitate to recommend this cruise to anyone. The ship was beautiful and clean, and the staff and crew were helpful, fun, and entertaining. Service was top notch. Our cabin was always clean and pleasant, and the views outside the sliding glass doors was phenomenal. The size of the ship was just right: under 1000 guests. We've been on the mega-sized cruise ships, but much more ...

Before this cruise, we have taken Viking River Cruises. Did no know what to expect on this, our first ocean cruise with Viking. We were more than pleased. . The ship was immaculate, from the cabins to the public restrooms. The size of the ship was perfect, including number of guests. Lots of open space to move around, comfortable lounges, private sitting areas, and open, airy general ...

This cruise was a great itinerary. We have been on several different cruise lines, but Viking has them all beat. Their customer service was incredible!! From the moment we boarded, the staff knew our names, the bar tender knew what drinks we enjoyed ( after ordering once), and Bayou kept our room spotless. Bayou always had a smile on his face. He was very help full after I sprained my ankle on ...

We wanted to go to Norway to look for my husband's roots, and he found this cruise that sounded interesting on a smaller, more elegant ship. Everything was smooth with great service from booking to disembarking; all of the staff were pleasant and helpful, the cabin was comfortable and well-appointed. Food was great with several restaurant choices, but we spent most meals in the delicious and ...

We always had wanted to see the midnight sun and this did not disappoint. The ship is laid out wonderful and we loved the size of the ship. Had no problem meeting people, we choose to eat buffet style most nights as it was easy to sit next to someone new each night. The entertainment on board was exceptional, the cruise director is one of the best we have ever seen. The food and service were ...

This was our second ocean cruise on Viking Sea and we wanted to see more of Norway as well as Shetland and Orkney. We flew into Bergen and were met at the airport as usual by Viking representatives and once at the port, soon had our identity cards processed. We book the basic stateroom which has everything you need including a fantastic shower, a balcony, an extremely comfortable bed and free ...
