This was our third Viking cruise, our first ocean cruise. We loved it so much that we arranged another Viking Scandinavian cruise while we were sailing. We loved the ship, the crew, the food, and the excursions — everything! The ship is beautiful, with enough space that we could get away from everyone if we wanted quiet, but enough activity that we could feel part of the action. I appreciated how ...
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. ...
This was our first cruise and it was beyond what our expectations could ever be. The crew of the Viking Venus was amazing, friendly, caring and truly made the cruise portion unforgettable! The amenities of the ship and the quality of entertainment was fantastic and made for some fun evenings.
The shore excursions were immersive and really made for a balanced trip of relaxion and educations. ...
My cousin chose Viking to go to Norway, because she had taken a Viking cruise previously. My cousin and I are 50% Norwegian, and wanted to see where our Fathers' Ancestors came from. This cruise was wonderful: great food, great Entertainers, and great trips offered in each town we were in. The Tour guides on our trips offered, were very educational and fun; even the bus drivers were superior. ...
My husband and I have traveled quite a bit and seen much of the world. The northern part of Norway was unknown to us and we chose this itinerary as it was different. We saw many different parts of northern Scotland and the coast of Norway as far north as Nordkappe or North Cape which is as northern as civilization goes.
The Viking Venus is a beautiful vessel with all the amenities one could ...
This ship, the level of comfort and individualized service, were incredible. Clean, elegant areas on the ship. Interesting tours and sightseeing events. Viking is known for really taking care of their passengers. My favorite destination on this trip was going to Norway and seeing the fjords.
Although we would like to experience the entertainment, most shows started too late for us. However, the ...
My wife is of Scandinavian descent so we wanted to see the fjords of Norway and touch Denmark. We were able to cruise up close to very small villages and experience the friendly atmosphere of the country. The small cruise ship is the perfect size. The food selection is incredible and service is top notch. Service on Viking ships is more personal than any other cruise line we have been on. ...
We chose this cruise in hopes of seeing the elusive Northern Lights. We were so lucky as we saw them on four or five different nights. Our best views were from the ship after leaving Narvik.
We cruised from Bergen to Tilbury on the Viking Star February 15 through February 27th. We have been on over 50 cruises but this was our first on Viking. We were surprised with the uncrowded open spaces. ...
My husband and I have always wanted to see Norway. We both have Norwegian DNA. It is also a place that neither one of us has been before. The ship and our cabin were immaculate. Our cabin stewards anticipated our every need. All of the Viking employees were wonderful. We enjoyed the port talks and all the lectures they offered. Our favorite excursion was the husky dog sleds. We also got to ...
We wanted to see a part of the world that is not easily accessible and also beautiful. The few days at sea allowed us a very good opportunity to explore and enjoy the various amenities provided on the ship. All the crew were tremendously friendly and helpful. I particularly enjoyed visiting the spa with the large heated jacuzzi, steam, sauna and snow grotto. The fitness center offered all the ...
