Istanbul to Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Viking Ocean Viking Sea Cruise Reviews

Met all our expectations. Our Israel excursion to Jerusalem was great. This was our first Viking Ocean Cruise. While on board we booked our first Viking River Cruise. The rooms were great, loved the heated floors in bathroom. The entertainment was fantastic. The cruise director was always very informative and boy could he sing. The food was great and we choose to dine with different people each ...

My husband loves cruises, but it has never been my favorite form of travel. Viking ocean cruises have changed my opinion and I am looking forward to another Viking Ocean cruise. He, too, found this to be an excellent form of cruising so we are now happily in agreement for future travel. The ship is brand new and designed beautifully for those who want nooks and crannies to quietly enjoy ...

Viking is a great cruise line, Embarkation was simple and efficient. Elegant, great service. No kids which is a bonus. All about the ports and the people. Great ports and excursions. Food and service were excellent. We were on the maiden voyage of the Viking Sea. Cabins were spacious with first rate amenities. Heated floors in the bathroom. Lots of storage space. Loved the veranda. Had coffee out ...

This was one of our best cruises ever! We loved the ports we visited and the shore excursions were very organized and well worth the time. We loved that the shore excursions were included in the cruise price. We took advantage and did book two optional tours that included the region's cuisine. The optional tour prices were reasonable and well worth the price of the excursion. The ship's design is ...

First: it was Viking. We had three previous Viking Riverboat trips. Loved them all. Second: wanted to try sea going vessel. none previously. Unfortunately, Istanbul terrorism threat led us not to explore before trip. As a precaution, Viking met us with a bus at the airport, drove us directly to the ship, which soon departed. Viking flexibility was appreciated by nervous passengers. ...

I had heard good things about Viking and my husband and I wanted to check it out. I loved the size of ship and just the right capacity, the casual elegant ambiance, the attention of the staff to knowing our names and the overall cleanliness. Ours was the maiden voyage for Sea so it was not full to capacity, which made it quite nice and easy to get into restaurants and events. I also loved the ...

We were on the maiden voyage of the Voking Sea...it was our first ocean cruise ...tho we did a river cruise on Viking several years ago. It was exciting to be on this maiden voyage and all the staff seemed happy and excited as well...the could not have been more welcoming / friendly/ helpful...every last one of them! Both embarkation and disembarkation were very smooth...we were greeted with LOTS ...

Like The Viking Sea, this was our maiden Viking cruise. We joined a group of 4 other couples who had previously been on Viking River cruises, including one couple on their 10th Viking cruise. Everything exceeded our expectations. Every detail on the ship is stunning from the Explorer's Lounge (a favorite area) at the bow to the infinity pool at the stern. Two examples: every chair in the public ...

The maiden voyage of the Viking Sea likely spoiled us for anything else in the world of cruises. It was our first cruise, and from talking to other passengers, we have no where to go but down if we cruise with another line. We chose this itinerary for the ports of call, many were places we had never visited in our European travels. The ship was stunning, we felt we were on a 5 star floating ...

We were on Viking Rurik river cruise from Moscow to St. Petersburg in 2013. Despite a major hiccup--a bad storm that delayed us 12+ hours--we were extremely impressed with how the Viking and its crew made up for a missed port and delayed arrival to St. Petersburg. As far as I'm concerned, they exceeded expectations. So, when I read about the ocean cruises starting, it seemed like an opportune ...
