In Search of Viking Ocean

Review for a Baltic Sea Cruise on Viking Venus

Executive Summary. (If you are not an executive, skip this paragraph.) The itinerary was "In Search of the Northern Lights." We saw the Lights four times over three nights, so in a sense this was a successful cruise. However, although Viking does many things well, they failed in one very important component - they did not meet the expectations of my taste buds! The menus were good, but the ...

This was our first Viking Cruise but we have been on may others. We heard Viking was very good and a good value, we would now agree. Our goal was to see the Northern Lights, I know they don't control that but even if we hadn't seen them ( which we did 5 nights) we would of been very happy witht the cruise. The ship was spotless and beautiful, the crew was friendly beyond belief. Everyone had a ...

Oh, how we wanted to love our first Viking cruise! All the advertising and all our friends and family said Viking’s the best, with all-balcony staterooms, a truly all-inclusive program, no one under 18 and lectures instead of casinos. And we fully understand that weather happens, and the storm that trapped the Viking Venus in Tromsø, Norway, definitely was beyond Viking’s control. And Viking ...

We loved this voyage! The trip is for someone who is adventurous and doesn't mind being cold, wet, and blown around. Be prepared for 3 hours max daylight each day. The ship rocked substantially but I found it was manageable with a seasick pill every now and then and wrist bands. I didn't know of anyone who got sick. If anything the banging and creaking wall noises during the rough seas was the ...

I would strongly recommend Viking Cruises. They are a first class organization from the Stewards to the Bridge Officers. We saw the Captain walking the ship, up and down the stairs several times as he did his rounds. He was pleasant and not aloof like some tend to be. Viking goes above and beyond to take care of their passengers. They are almost perfect in attention to details. The food is ...

I have a fused polio ankle. My husband has occasional balance/ walking issues. We chose this itinerary because Viking has an included level 1 excursion included at each stop. This means few steps, fairly even walkways, handrails, not too many cobbles. There were a couple of stops that were involving a more difficult way to get to the coach, especially because of the tides, docking positions, etc. ...

We chose the British Isles Explorer cruise as 1) we love everything British and Irish, and 2) we visited so very many of the places I had studied in my undergraduate majors. The weather turned out to be excellent (except for one day) so the excursions were fun, enlightening and highlighted the local history so very well. (Skara Brae and Jarlshof met all my expectations and then some!) The Viking ...

The decision was based on the itinerary, dates offered, excursions included in price, and air fare included. The unknown would be if the initial cost was going to be worth the trip. First, the customer service in first rate all through the ship. The cleanliness was like a brand new ship. The cleaning staff when above and beyond to meet your every need. The beverage manager actually placed an order ...

My sister in law and I initially booked with Hurtigruten until we were informed that Viking sailed a similar itinerary. So grateful we switched! The Viking Venus is a beautiful ship! Soothing colors, beautiful spaces to relax, exceptional staff, delicious food and great entertainment. We boarded in Tilbury and this was the fastest onboarding of any cruise experience. We exited from the taxi ...

This was our second Viking Ocean, and the quality and level of service was five star just as it always has been in the past. It doesn't ever seem like there are 930 passengers on the ship because of Viking's clever way of providing multiple living spaces throughout the ship, from the Explorer's Lounge at the front of the ship, to the Living Room on Deck 1, and many other delightful, comfortable, ...
