Excellent ship, included excursions not an added value
"The hotel space was not large enough to hold everyone (literally people standing or sitting on the floor everywhere including the hallway), there was only coffee and water even through lunch time), there was initially only one person at a table with an extremely long line to check in for your bus departure time (this was ridiculous and should have included in your documents the night before), and there was no system in place to make sure everyone got on the correct bus.” Unlikely, as all the shuttle bus stops were the same locations listed by one of the excellent World Cruise blogs I’m reading (I got more information from that blog than from Viking)...."Read More

Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on Viking Mars

This was our first Viking cruise and many of the accolades are well deserved. The service on board the ship was extraordinary. The crew is uniformly amazing. While we were very pleased on board, we do want to share that we were disappointed with Air Plus and the ship transfers. We do this to help others decide if they wish to make these choices. Please know that with Air Plus you will get the ...

Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on Viking Mars

6-10 Cruises • Age 60s
We had the opportunity to visit many Mayan sites, snorkel, kayak, etc. But in the end we chose easy excursions such as walking tours and visits to distilleries, breweries, and chocolate factories. This worked out well, since it was rainy season anyway. The food and the entertainment onboard were excellent. The gym was great too. Getting on and off for excursions was easy…probably because there’s ...

We chose Viking because we had heard so many positive things about this company.
We were very disappointed in this cruise.
The service in the Restaurant and the lack of efficiency in the way things were run was a disappointment.
The service in the Specialty Restaurants was better than The Restaurant, the food was better in the Specialty Restaurants.
Excursions that were free were ...

We chose this cruise to see areas we have not previously visited. For two weeks, we were pampered royally, fed deliciously, entertained in a variety of ways, educated in areas pertinent to our travels, and toured comfortably and informatively. The attention to detail by all the staff was second to none.
We especially enjoyed the variety of foods and the opportunity to eat in different ...

Where do I start? My wife and I are 70 and active. We have also cruised on Celebrity and Oceania several times. This was our first Viking cruise.
After two weeks I just wanted off the Viking Mars. For the same money the suites in other cruise lines are larger and better appointed. The decor in the Viking suite made you want to get out the room. The food was often cold and bland. The ...

Review for a Europe - British Isles & Western Cruise on Viking Mars

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s
This was our very first cruise. On the whole it was good, and we plan to sail with Viking again, but there were some hiccups.
About a year before the cruise, they shifted us to a different ship leaving about a week later. And a few months after that, they announced that three of the planned stops had been changed. We were very disappointed to miss Belfast, but Isle of Man was very nice and ...

A great cruise to see the various areas of the British Isles, with Bergen Norway as a bonus. Enjoyed each port which included ones in Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and England. Starting in Bergen added variety and interest to the cruise. The Mars ship was nice, clean, comfortable, and well laid out. The ship’s stabilizers allow for relatively smooth sailing even in stormy conditions. Crossing the ...

We have just returned from the Mars cruise from London to Norway 8/1-8/15. We've done a Viking river, 2 ocean and Antarctica, in addition to cruising many other lines over the years. We will not be cruising with Viking again for a long time for the reasons below:
1) We are 60 and 65 years old and we are not their demographic. They do nothing to accommodate a slightly younger crowd . We ...

We were invited to join friends on this cruise. It was our first Viking cruise; their third. It was wonderful! The staff was superb! The one downfall was the excursion in Berlin. Our choice was “Berlin Your Way” and Checkpoint Charlie”. This was not done well, and was not the caliber of Viking. It was unorganized once we got to Berlin, and remained that way the entire day. The cost of Checkpoint ...

Having done our first Viking River Cruise and been very happy with the experience, we took our first Viking ocean cruise along the Scandinavian coast.
As with the river cruise, housekeeping and restaurant personnel were exceptionally efficient and nice. Also as before, the food was good and abundant. We were very happy with our room -- it was quiet, and the room temperature control worked ...
