Viking Ocean Viking Sky Cruise Reviews

We chose Viking based on our age (newly retired), preference for smaller ships and an adult environment. We choose the Iconic Western Mediterranean itinerary because of the absence of days at sea, which maximized our time in port. Also our travel agent advised that fall sailings can encounter rougher seas; this itinerary stays near the coast where wave action is much less. We've previously ...

This is our second Viking cruise, and our first Viking ocean cruise. Everything from beginning to end was first class. The staff and crew were extremely attentive in every detail, including the on-board services, cleanliness, organization, and the transition and assistance along the way for our extension in Madrid after the cruise. The ship's facilities were immaculate and well-maintained. ...

My wife & I had a great time on our recent Iconic Western Mediterranean cruise aboard "The Viking Sky"! Viking was an excellent choice for our first ocean cruise because of smaller ship size(950+ guests) augmented by caring cruise staff. The modern "Viking Sky" was immaculately clean and well-adorned to meet the needs of any passenger's taste. We chose not to dine in the more formal dining rooms ...

Have been on many ships and types of cruises over decades. This ocean ship is the best in many ways, including layout of the stateroom, great bath products, common areas and nooks and crannies for lounging, pools, restaurants, ease of boarding and customer service area. The food was really good in the World Care, The Restaurant, Manfredi’s and room service. The bars were great, good choices, great ...

We had heard about Viking from several friends. This was our first time and we were blown away. The ship was beautiful, with modern, clean lines, beautiful woods, large windows and comfortable seating. The sweeping windows in the Explorer Lounge were dramatic. Everything was so well thought out. For example, books were located in several places around the ship (rather than in an library) so it was ...

We chose this cruise because we toured Rome, Florence, Tuscany and Venice prior to sailing. This cruise enabled us to see more of southern Italy and relax on the second half of the trip. Food was great, only had one off meal. The steak was chewy but the waiter was more than happy to replace with a different entree. Room service for breakfast every morning was on time, hot and delivered right to ...

We have done 2 Viking river cruises but this was very disappointing. Poor communication concerning description of tours and difficulty of some walking tours. Food quality and preparation had a lot to be desired. Many times food was cold and we were not thrilled with the selections offered. Everything seemed to have fish it it. Could not cut steaks. Not enough pool waiters on hand. Many of ...

We chose Viking Cruise because several of our friends raved about their adventures with Viking; some had visited Antarctica, Alaska, Africa, the Mediterranean, and China (Explorer, Ocean, & River). In short, we loved our first cruise with Viking and your team made the experience fun, entertaining, informative, cultural, easy, and very memorable. We boarded the Viking Sky in September of 2023 in ...

We chose this cruise because we've done 2 river cruises before and we enjoyed the Viking experience. Food on this cruise was fantastic. The ship was beautiful and well-kept. The evening entertainers at the theatre were excellent. Our cabin was exactly what we needed. The excursions were great. The scenery was beautiful. Now, I'll provide suggestions to make the trip better. For ...

We had been on a Viking river cruise in 2022 and wanted to try a Viking Ocean cruise vessel. We had only done the small river cruise and a small ship trip in Bora Bora. We were worried that 900 people would feel so crowded. It didn't the ship never felt super crowded with lines anywhere. This itinerary started in Athens and ended in Venice. We were excited about the Greek and Croatia ...
