Viking Ocean Viking Orion Cruise Reviews

We had taken several river cruises with Viking and always thought they were top-notch. We had scheduled a land plus cruise to Alaska with another company for 2020 even though we were not fans of "large ship cruising" but had no other choice at the time. Covid cancelled that trip and when we were trying to re-schedule for 2022, we found Viking's offerings and happily booked their land tour and ...

The Inside Passage was as beautiful as I hoped it would be. Viking canceled this cruise in 2020 and we elected to take the premium voucher offered, which just about paid for our five-day Denali Extension, on the advice of our travel agent. We are so glad we did. Denali is beautiful and we were able to see bears, moose, elk, Dall sheep, eagles, etc. The Observation Dome train ride from ...

We had postponed our dream Alaskan cruise due to covid, and were finally able to take it in 2022. We had a truly wonderful experience on Viking's Mediterranean Odyssey in 2019, so we were confident of the quality and excellent service built in to all of the cruises by Viking, we thought. However, from the very beginning, to the end where I came home with covid, we were so disappointed. We ...

We wanted to see glaciers, the calving of glaciers, visit the town, learn more about the culture, see totem poles, and enjoy the journey. Getting our luggage when we arrived in Anchorage was delayed. The port authorities (only two of them) took a few hours to check everyone's vaccines, etc. The scenery on the bus from Anchorage to Seward was spectacular. We didn't see much scenery because of heavy ...

Originally intended to do a European River Cruise in 2020, but, due to C,,,D, changed to the NA ocean cruise. Blown away by Vikings efficiency, quality and service. Virtually no lines for boarding, dining or entertainment despite nearly a capacity passenger load. Loved the smaller ship, less than 1000 passengers. Berthed next to a competitor behemoth with its ~5000 passenger. #NEVER. The all ...

This was not our first cruise, but it was our first on Viking. We will never cruise with any other line in the future. We have already booked 2 more cruises with them for this year and next. Embarkation process was easy. Crew was very attentive, the food choices were exceptional, the cabin was clean and spacious, and the excursions were great. We loved that there were no children, no auctions, ...

Viking is the absolute best cruise line! The number of passengers is small, the crew is extremely attentive and helpful. We were met at the airport and attended to until we were delivered to the airport at the end of the cruise. the ship's crew were all so attentive and helpful that we could relax and completely enjoy the trip. We were able to focus on the local cultures, animals, and even stars ...

Chose this cruise based on a desire to explore Alaska, the itinerary, the pre and post trips available and reputation of Viking and experience on a previous Viking cruise. Ship was very comfortable and the service was excellent. Shore excursions were very interesting. However, when excursions had to be cancelled (through no fault of Viking), we let we were slow to be notified of an alternative. ...

In researching cruises, Viking seemed to come up consistantly at the top of the ratings, so we thought we'd give them a try. We had not done a 'high-end' cruise before. Viking very much lived up to the hype. We loved the ship - the crew was outstanding, they knew our names, really took care of us, and seemed to genuinely care. The ship had so many cool spots to hang out and just relax, like ...

The only way to conveniently see the coastal parts of Alaska is by sea and we knew Viking would choose the best places to visit. The ports of call were well chosen. Viking provided at each port a plethora of opportunities for tours to fit everyones requirements from walking tours to helicopter rides. On two occasions they even deviated from the planned route to show us something of special ...
