London (Greenwich, Tower Bridge, Tilbury) to Baltic Sea Viking Ocean Viking Sky Cruise Reviews

We chose this trip to once again hopefully experience the northern lights and to have the luxury of this beautiful ship. The itinerary looked good with overnight stops at Tromso and Alta. Embarkation was seamless, withing 15 minutes of arriving at Tilbury we were having lunch in the World Cafe and our holiday had started. Very impressed. Our stateroom was ready early and we were given a guided ...

We really lucked out and had fantastic weather for March. Northern lights were spectacular in Tromso. We took a private tour with indvidulltromoso and was better than the one Vikng offered. The weather was sun shine in Bergen also where it usually rains 360 days a year. As far as the ship, it is beautiful. The few issues we had with service were quickly remedied by the guest service and restaurant ...

Nice but nothing special. Food was OK. The “special” menus were no better than the regular ones. No enrichment activities. The fitness room was small and poorly equipped. We had better previous experiences with Viking but we were particularly disappointed with the company after this cruise because they treated us so badly when we tried to book the next one, which we have now ...

We are seasoned cruisers having cruised 30+ times on 8 different lines. However, this was our first cruise on Viking and certainly not our last. The ship was AMAZING and the crew was GREAT. I don’t know what the ratio of passengers to crew is but I do know you couldn’t put your water glass down without someone filling it, or more importantly your wine glass. We are small ship prone and this ...

Neophytes to Cruising, this was our first ocean cruise since way back in the mid-70s to the Caribbean. Our first experience with Viking Cruises was a few years back on the Châteaux, Rivers & Wine cruise from Bordeaux. At the time, the ocean ships were still being constructed. Once launched, we were determined to take a voyage … and what better excuse than a cruise that began on my birthday! A ...

Always wanted to see the Northern Lights thought this would be a great way to do it. We have been on both the Sky and Star before and in Norway two other times. We love the area, the people and the natural landscape and were not disappointed this time. We were lucky enough to see a great light show in Tromso and took a ship tour to a remote, dark place which allowed for some great photography. ...

We had sailed on Viking Ocean on earlier occasions (Baltic and Caribbean) and knew that Viking had created a great cruise product with these ocean-going ships. So we chose the Northern Lights cruise so we could check off a huge bucket list item... actually seeing the Northern Lights, and have a wonderful time while doing so. Our cruise experience was uniformly excellent from embarkation at ...

We had always wanted to see the Northern Lights, and also go on an ocean cruise. We loved everything about it, the ship, the staff, the food and the wonderful scenery! The port talks were very good and the onboard historian who was very knowledgeable. We were fortunate to have great weather, and we had a wonderful view of the Northern Lights in Tromso. All the staff were excellent, from the people ...

We sailed with Viking in March 2019 on the “In Search of the Northern Lights” cruise. It was our third Viking cruise. The first two were river cruises. We booked this cruise because we were really keen to experience the Aroura Borealis, and we were fortunate to succeed! We also really liked the itinerary, exploring a number of different ports in Norway and staying overnight in some of them. We are ...

My wife & I went on this cruise to see the northern lights & we were not disappointed as we saw a great display of them from the deck of the ship when it was docked in Tromso, Norway. Embarkation & disembarkation were smooth without problems. All aspects of the cruise such as food, service, cabin & shore excursions were great. The wi-fi was super & the 42 inch interactive TV screen in our ...
