We had not been on an ocean cruise for many years, although we have done 3 River Cruises with Viking. Flying to Europe from Australia is a long haul and we like to stay overnight in Asia to break the trip up into manageable "chunks". While Viking booked our flights, we had to find our own accommodation and transfers. Because of the flight schedules, we arrived in Istanbul 2 days ahead of our ...

This was our first cruise so I do not have a comparison. However it met or exceeded all my expectations. Our cabin was well appointed with adequate storage space. The bed and chairs were very comfortable. We had access to laundry equipment which we used as we were traveling after the cruise. Our attendant, Arya was very thorough in keeping our cabin clean and well stocked. In fact we were ...

The service was very good, nothing was too much trouble and any little "wrinkles" were ironed out very ...

The two-level Explorer's Lounge is a particularly comfortable location for relaxation with its bar, easy chairs and sofas and soothing nighttime musical entertainment. Perched high at the bow of the ship, it gives one the ...

6-10 Cruises • Age 80s

We have taken 6 Viking River cruises but this was our first ocean cruise with them. Cabins and public areas are lovely; free Laundromat is wonderful; Wi-Fi works well; staff was very polite; entertainment and lectures were fist class; food fabulous. However, time in ports especially Athens and Istanbul is VERY limited. If you have not been to these cities, (or Venice) extend your trip in Istanbul ...

I went on line and booked the maiden voyage of the yet to be built ship, the prices were cheap but we were required to pay for our cruise in full when I ...
