Viking Osfrid Cruise Reviews

We've done many Viking cruises; this was one we hadn't yet done so Post-COVID, we were ready to get back to cruising. We had the misfortune to have our cruise start at the same time as the imminent arrival of Pope Francis in Lisbon for World Youth Day celebration. Viking notified us only a couple weeks before the cruise, but they had to have known this months in advance. The panoramic city bus ...

It was pretty obvious that this ship had a very cohesive staff. They seemed to work well together and actually like each other. This helped make our experience great. When my husband became sick for a few days, they went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and cared for. The entertainment was delightful, the meals outstanding, rooms clean and comfortable and the excursions ...

It was a wonderful trip! We were surrounded by people quality from leadership to staff to guides to fellow Vikings, fabulous food & drink, unique opportunities to immerse in the culture while enjoying beautiful scenery everywhere we went. It wasn’t a relaxing trip - there was a lot to do & see & learn. I loved that most of the excursions were included so we got to experience a lot of ...

It was our third Viking River cruise and we have been more than pleased at the overall quality of every aspect of cruising with Viking, including overall value. This destination, the Douro, was recommended to us by travelers we met on our previous cruises. The Ships are great. The Staff is friendly and helpful. And the guides they choose, local and from the ships, are off the charts outstanding. ...

Viking had been recommended to me by a friend who has been on 3 Viking river and ocean cruises. My son was in Portugal last year, and loved it, so that's why we decided on the Duoro River cruise. This is was an adult cruise, with only about 140 passengers. I went with 3 friends and we spent 2 nights in Lisbon in a 5 star hotel as part of the package, then headed north to Porto to board the ...

The crew and the service were excellent. The food was above expectations. Ship was very well maintained for its age etc. Significant number of bus trips to reach excursions. Expected more in the excursions albeit the guides were very good. Open seating does not mean you can go to eat during the hours of operations. They want you to arrive when dining starts. Expected more variety of ...

We went on a Douro river cruise with Viking in early April with another couple. The service was amazing, the program manager and guides were fabulous. It was nice being able to cruise during daytime hours. You will get to go through several locks. Once you go through one, you will understand why Viking built these particular vessels the way they did. We went mostly on the included excursions ...

We have been traveled on Viking 4 times before and they never disappoint. From the ship, food, side excursions and crew one can not ask for a better vacation. The scenery, was so beautiful that I could not believe it was real. Meeting the captain daily and the rest of the crew made for a very pleasant, caring time. Our cabin was on the middle deck and suited our needs. Most of the time ...

One of the top rated cruises we have ever been on. I can not say enough about Viking. The crew, the food, the trip each day were superior. We so enjoy both Lisbon and the river of Gold. Exploring each day was an adventure and the people on board were so wonderful. I recommend this cruise to all that I speak with. We fell in love with Lisbon and the Douro valley. The wineries, the ...

We chose this cruise because of interest in Portugal. From our arrival in Lisbon to our departure from the ship in Porto, Viking handled everything perfectly. Transfers were on time, Patricia ( our cruise director) was on top of everything. The hotel in Lisbon was excellent , the transportation team was the best. Once we were greeted on board the Osfrid by the ship’s crew, we felt we were ...
