Canada & New England Luxury Cruises Reviews

We took a river cruise last fall and really enjoyed it. Some friends and us decided to try all 3 of Viking cruise ships. Viking does a first class job of getting you to the boat, making you feel welcome and catering to your every need. All of the crew, no matter what the level were engaging, helpful, at times entertaining. They were always professions yet engaging and friendly. You get a ...

We chose this cruise because we wanted to stay in North America and see some areas that we have never been. The Octantis is a beautiful ship . We bought the lowest grade room accommodation and it was wonderful. Spacious, comfortable bed, retractable outside window, large bathroom with HEATED floors, all amenities. Located on deck 2 , a quick ride to deck 5 , turn the corner and at World ...

We have been only many cruises including river cruises but never an expedition cruise with science lab, water vehicles etc. First the ship was beautiful & never crowded with 387 passengers. We only shared an elevator once!! The staff was the friendliest we have ever had & not stressed. I love the heated bathroom floors and drying closet (for colder, wetter regions). We are not water sport ...

We chose this cruise to see the highlights of the Great Lakes. Mackinac Island, The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation in Detroit, and Niagara Falls were new places for us to visit while sailing on a Viking Expedition Ship. At first we thought we would not like Detroit, but the Henry Ford museum was a nice surprise. Full of American artifacts. It did not disappoint! The food was superb. ...

We chose this cruise because we wanted to experience the various boating adventures and to see the beauty surrounding the Great Lakes as well as seeing Niagara Falls up close. This cruise was more adventurous as it afforded us the opportunity to hike and boat on various vessels. The crew was attuned to our needs and made certain that we were all trained in matters of safety. The ship was kept ...

This cruise offered an opportunity to explore the Great Lakes region with a variety in shore options. We experienced cities, a quaint village, a national park, culture, and a natural wonder. In addition, the cruise gave a chance to witness travel in a canal, including the lock experience. learning about wildlife, history of the region, and scientific research going on as we traveled. The onboard ...

We chose this cruise to accomplish several items on our bucket list. Those were accomplished. But the embarkation experience was held up by the ship being available late due to fog. Viking accommodated us at a local hotel, provided lunch and we boarded a few hours late. Can't blame the weather but might have arranged a local tour instead of waiting several hours at the hotel. Once on board, the ...

We have done two river cruises with Viking in prior years, Danube and Rhone rivers and enjoyed both immensely. This year is our fortieth anniversary and our eightieth year and were looking for a longer cruise than a river cruise as well as one that did not have long hours in a cramped coach airplane. The ports of call for the cruise were interesting; Charleston, SC, Norfolk, VA, New York, NY, ...

We have previously sailed several times on Viking's 900+ passenger ocean ships and when Viking told us of a sale on several itineraries on their small expedition ship (376 passengers), we looked at this one and chose it. The ship is beautiful. We selected a deluxe balcony room which was the best room available on sale but were concerned that, because it was smaller than the "penthouse" we usually ...

I have wanted to try Viking for several years. When presented with the opportunity in late December 2022, to take a 16 day cruise from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Toronto, Canada with free airfare and the silver drink package, I jumped on it. I had heard from friends and the person that cut my hair that Viking was a very good cruise company. But I found out that they much better than good - ...
