Viking Ocean Viking Star Cruise Reviews for Gourmet Food to Norwegian Fjords from Bergen

We chose this cruise because we love Norway, and wanted to visit in winter to try to see the northern lights. Viking offered this cruise beginning with two days in Bergen, giving us time to both recover from jet lag and enjoy shopping in Bergen, We also paid Viking to arrange our air travel, so as to insure a seamless arrival in the event of any disruption. Well, one of the flights ultimately ...

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 ...

First we went to Iceland for the precruise holiday and Viking did an outstanding job. Arrived in Bergen, Norway, and we were bussed to the port. Very easy embarkation, and our room was ready when we arrived. Bags arrived shortly thereafter while we were having a drink on the explorer's lounge. We purchased the silver spirits beverage package which for us was a great deal. My husband had his ...

We chose Viking Star for the itinerary (we'd never seen this part of Norway) and for the reputation of Viking Cruises. We have been on a Viking River Cruise and were very impressed with the quality there. We found the Viking Star to be beautiful, with lovely staterooms, restaurants, and public areas. There were many places to sit quietly, away from the chatter of other passengers. The ...

Booked this cruise based upon our experience on our 2014 Budapest to Amsterdam- Danube River Cruise which was fantastic by any definition as well! The Baltic Cruise went far beyond our expectations from embarkation to disembarkation. The Viking Star is an unbelievable ship! The amenities and service far exceeded that of the larger cruise ships we have travelled on including food, service, ...

1. This cruise was booked and paid for in January 2014. January 24, 2014 – to be exact. (I still have the emails.) At that time, the booking number was xxxxxxx. Viking had email addresses for both travelers but only showed my cabin mate's mailing address, even though we made it clear that we were 2 singles traveling together and that we did NOT have the same address. ) At the time of booking, ...

We have sailed with Viking many times and this trip was our second on the Star. We love the organization and planning of everything from embarking to disembarking and getting to our airport. The cabins are nice in size and always kept clean by excellent cabin people. Staff are always friendly and helpful. We were excited to see all the ports of call and seeing that part of the world. Wish we ...

Never been in Scandinavian countries, St. Petersburg and Iceland; it was truly amazing trip over-all. The embarkation and dis-embarkation was a breeze, precise, well organized and well planned. Viking Ocean "Star" over-all fantastic, truly home-away-from-home, comfortable, relax and everything in between exceeded our expectation. Cabin feels like luxury hotel room, very clean, roomy and the ...

We chose this Cruise for its Itinerary of 8 counties in Scandinavia along with initial reviews of Viking Stars first year at sea. In 2015 we cruised on CRYSTAL SERENITY from Istanbul to Venice so it was our benchmark vs Viking Star. Let me start with the positives ,Embarkation was seamless,with Viking Star staff having my tagged bags on their way before I payed taxi. Like Crystal they ...

We have traveled with Viking on a river cruise befor but this trip on the Viking Star Ocean Liner was by far the most wonderful trip . The ship is beautiful and richly appointed. The food and service exceptional. We felt we were living in luxury ! Thanks Viking for a trip of a life time! The entertainment on board was superb and classes interesting. The off shore tours were all right, but a ...
