Itinerary first but the Viking ships are beautiful, great staff, wonderful food. Five star experience! The shore excursions were wonderful especially the Giant's Causeway, Canterbury Cathedral, Orkney was a wonderful surprise. The staff are friendly and can't do enough for you. The specialty restaurants are included and Manfredi's which is Italian, everything was delicious. The Chef's Table serves ...
We have cruised many other cruise lines and were looking forward to this one because Viking was supposed to be a cut above, etc. It is not and we won't book another ocean cruise with them again. Food was average. Not much variety. Service both dining and cabin was great.
We had booked an Explorer Suite in the aft portion. The Infinity Pool on the 7th deck sprung a leak with the seal breaking ...
This was our first cruise ever and our expectations were modest. We enjoyed the entire experience, from our no hassle transfer from the Bergen airport on. Viking provided for our every comfort, even on the excursions: bottled water, snacks, and umbrellas--which you are likely to need in the British Isles.
We signed up for nearly all of the inclusive tours and added an optional tour most days. ...
We chose to go with Viking based the recommendations from friends. We are not typically cruiseship people; however, the limited number of passengers (900) appealed to us. We were not disappointed. The Viking Sun is a floating masterpiece of design and function. We booked a Penthouse Veranda Suite on Deck 6. I would book the same type of room on a lower level as the rough seas one whole day ...
We chose this cruise to experience a Viking Ocean Cruise after doing 2 Viking River Cruises. Had FABULOUS time! As with the River Cruises, staff and food was outstanding! Doing the Iceland Pre Trip was amazing, and helped us bond with our shipmates - which continued throughout our cruise! There were 12 of us who would meet up in the Lounge for cocktails, then attend dinner with other couples, then ...
I can only compare Viking to 2 other cruise lines, so I have a limited viewpoint. But just for the record, Viking continues to improve their overall experience with every cruise taken.
The dining is superb and 99% of the food was excellent, hot and flavorful. The ship was beautiful and clean. Our cabin was cleaned 3 X a day we were provided daily snacks, drinks and iced. Our service was ...
We had heard nothing but great things about Viking from several friends so we decided to give it a try. Our expectations were met on almost every level. Our room was great and the amenities were well designed and maintained. The staff who took care of out room were great. Food was excellent - several levels above what we have experienced in other travel. We ate most of our meals at the pool ...
The Viking Sun is ideal in every way. The ship’s design and furnishings are luxurious, while restrained. Definitely not over the top, like many cruise ships. With about 900 passengers it was easy to find quiet places on the ship whenever desired.
We found service and dining to be excellent. The itinerary was excellent, though the weather was sometimes uncooperative. The west coast of ...
Very well run from embarkation to disembark experience.
Check in was a breeze, no crowds. Someone took my luggage immediately and since I was early went to the World Cafe for lunch. Lots of servers and staff checking on you.
My room was scheduled to be ready at 2pm but an announcement at 1:30pm said all rooms were ready!
Room was fine, second level of stateroom. Only issue was not enough ...
Absolutely the best service,food, entertainment, cabins at sea! Don’t miss the opportunity to cruise with Viking Ocean. When you arrive at the ship they come out and greet you with champagne instead of the normal long embarkation lines.
All the cabins have a balcony there are no inside cabins. All the bathrooms have real glassed in showers, heated floors and no fog mirrors. There’s also a ...
