We chose tis cruise because going to the Norwegian fjords was on my wife's bucket list. Viking did not give us good directions on how to find the exact location for check in in Greenwich, UK. After check in, Viking made us stand in the line in the sun for a long time to board a tender to the ship docked in the River Thames; that was awful. Once on board, the crew were friendly and helpful. Our ...
My husband and I were onboard Viking Mars on June 25. It was a 14-night itinerary that went from London, Scotland, and ending in Bergen, Norway. We’ve always wanted to take this itinerary and it did NOT disappoint! It has history, culture, and witnessing a natural phenomenon of the sun that never set below the horizon in 24 hours. This only happens between May and July in the Arctic Circle, so ...
Our third Viking cruise in 12 months proved as wonderful as the two previous ones. The dining and wine are consistently excellent. The dinner wines are varied and above average. Particularly enjoyable in the casual dining area is the fresh sushi bar - every evening - as a light, delicious dining option. The included tours are quite sufficient on this particular trip. The tour of Greenwich, ...
This is our 3rd Viking Cruise. Two ocean and one river cruise.
They are the best at what they do.
We were cruising during COVID (I know it's still going on). I was impressed with their procedures in that we did daily spit test/PCR every morning before leaving our rooms and left the bag with the vile outside our door to be tested. Masks were not mandatory when we cruised, but the crew ...
This cruise had been on our list for about five years before we finally got around to scheduling it, and then it was delayed for two more years due to the Covid pandemic. When we finally got to make the cruise it met all our expectations. Service was excellent in all respects - stateroom care; dining; and on-board and off-board activities. Viking's on-board health protocols were handled well ...
This was our first ocean cruise. We are very satisfied with the ports that we docked in and the excursions that were offered. We enjoyed several purchased excursions also. We are dissapointed the we could not visit St Petersburg, Russia. But we understand taking St Petersburg and Helsinki off of the itinerary. We are hoping that a future will hold a time that we may all safely travel to ...
Chose this several years ago because I had never been to any of the UK countries. While on the cruise I lost one of my hearing aids and despaired of finding it as I had been on excursions and all over the ship. But, I called guest services, gave them my coach number and within two hours they had found my hearing aid and returned it to the ship. They called for me to come pick it up. I was ...
We chose the Great Britain cruise because there were so many ports-of-call that were of interest. It was a great way to get a good taste or Great Britain, Ireland, Shetland Islands (part of Scotland) and Norway. The weather cooperated with us for the most part and did not put much of a damper on our visits. If one is reading this and you are sailing Viking for the first time, Viking is an ...
My husband and I chose the Viking Venus cruise itinerary because we wanted to go to the Orkney Islands. The trip did not disappoint! We loved the excursions, locations, ship, staff, and food. FABULOUS!
Having an outside veranda in the stateroom is worth the additional cost. Although we were sailing on the North Sea, the temperature was warm enough to allow a cup of coffee outside on the ...
Pre-Covid we traveled with Viking River to Russia & China. Very satisfied with both ships, itinerary, food, excursions, shopping etc. When Viking Ocean brochure arrived, we were mesmerized with the different trips & chose The British Isles with an extension to Oslo. It was a fabulous trip. Food was excellent in the main dining room & specialty restaurants. Staff extremely attentive. Great ...
