"This was our 4th Viking Ocean cruise and it pains me to only give the Orion a 4 star review.
The Orion is definitely NOT an example of the Viking Ocean quality we have experienced on past cruises. Many new..."Read More
We like cruising because it can take us to a lot of different places in a very short period of time, all the while bringing our hotel and restaurant along with us. This cruise was of interest to us because it did a little wandering around before taking us to Norway where we had never been. We enjoyed the variety of interesting experiences we had in Denmark, then Germany, then back to Denmark, ...
We are interested in learning more about Scandinavian countries and St. Petersburg, Russia. Russia and the Baltic looked like the best fit for us.
We enjoyed Copenhagen, Stockholm, Talinn, Gotland, and in particular, St. Petersburg.
We also wanted to visit Moscow however given our middle day in St. Petersburg was a Thursday we were not able to visit Moscow given the Kremlin is closed on ...
Our Viking Cruise experience was so enjoyable and staff services excellent from booking reservations, transfers for embarkation and disembarkation on board staff and amenities was exceptional, post trip to Iceland was great. Especially loved the variety of dining venues and quality of food and selection, included excursions available at every port and privileged access excursion to the ...
We chose the cruise because we wanted to see the fjords and enjoy some of the cities. Everything was excellent. Even though we booked our own airfare and arrived 2-3 days before the cruise began, Viking staff were there at the airport, recognized the tags on our bags, and were extremely helpful. This was true throughout: everything was extremely well organized; we felt very well taken care of ...
Having been on several Viking river cruises and enjoying every one of them, a sea cruise was the next obvious step. The new ship is impressive, with great facilities for exercise, recreation and dining. It was good to have a choice of venues for meals, including a buffet with great views of the sea and ports. We had looked forward to going in the infinity pool on deck, and this did not disappoint, ...
My wife and I are both senior and retired and this was our first and only cruise so far.
We certainly chose the best, everything about our Viking cruise was top notch.
Embarkation was a breeze, very efficient with our bags delivered to our cabin in a very timely manner while we enjoyed welcome drinks served by really friendly crew members.
Our cabin was very comfortable and well ...
This cruise was a retirement celebration. It was selected from the mailer. It had destinations we were interested in and the departure date was a good fit. We loved the idea that the number of guests was small and events more intended for a more mature client.
The Sky was a joy to sail and the Crew/Staff were all superb. The dining choices gave great variety and all the venues were comfortable ...
We have previously taken two Uniworld River Cruises. We chose Uniworld because Viking salespeople were too aggressive for our tastes. Uniworld offers no Ocean cruises so, with some trepidation, we signed on for the Viking Baltic Sea cruise. The fact that Viking advertises so extensively, and that the ship accommodates so many more people than a river boat, led us to expect a less pleasant ...
We have cruised 3 times in the past 2 years with Azamara (twice) & Seabourn and have thoroughly enjoyed all the cruises.
We prefer smaller ships and we decided to cruise the Baltic with Viking due to the excellent reviews and Which star rating.
The Good points
The transfer from Copenhagen Airport to the ship was excellent. Viking representatives met us in the baggage hall and escorted us ...
The opportunity to visit Scandinavian countries through an ocean cruise. This was our first Viking cruise. The entire staff was very friendly, courteous, and helpful to us. We also appreciated the very helpful assistance from Viking employees who met us at the Copenhagen Airport when we arrived after our long overseas flight.
The meals were delicious. The nightly entertainment was ...
