Viking Ocean Viking Orion Cruise Reviews

We were on this same ship pre-Covid to Australia and New Zeeland, and it is everything wonderful that we remembered! Lectures from University professors on Geology (fascinating in Alaska), History, & Astronomy helped us to understand the mountains, trials and tribulations of the early Gold Rush people, native Alaskan peoples and cultures and modern day roles these key cities in Alaska play. The ...

Overall the cruise was very nice. As usual, nice rooms with a great balcony, great daily room service, food was excellent, crew was very friendly and accommodating, and the Port Talks were very informative. Viking always goes "the extra mile" to make sure every detail is covered and that we were always kept informed. The daily news put in our rooms each evening for the following daily activities ...

There were many excellent features - Buffet was always very good - Severs were excellent - Cleaning staff was excellent - Excursions were very good - Room was very good - Viewing of scenery and wildlife was great Possible improvements - - Due to the length of our excursion, we had no time to explore Ketchikan. We had to return to the ...

We thought this would be a 5 star cruise but we were in for a surprise.There were numerous problems in various areas. First let me explain that I am a experienced cruiser with many high end such as Silverseas, Seabourne, Oceana, Regent and Crystal. 1. When we first entered our stateroom, we had no Freiya products in our bathroom [ none ], and this continued through out the entire time of the ...

We chose this cruise because we have always wanted to go to Alaska. This cruise allowed us to visit many ports and truly enjoy the beauty of nature. We had perfect weather which was not part of the deal from Viking but it certainly added to the experience. The other guests were a bonus for us too. We enjoyed meeting people from all over the country. We found people to be interesting with a wide ...

This was our first Viking Ocean Cruise and our 25th cruise overall and we were not disappointed. The ship is smaller than most ocean cruise ships but that made it easier to get around for us and we are getting to a point in our life where that matters. The weather was great. It was up to the 60s during the day and there was still snow on the mountains. We spent a good deal of cruise sitting ...

This was our third viking cruise but our first ocean one. The ship was wonderful, clean and set up similarly to the river boats only on a larger scale. Food was good, staff was wonderful Our housekeeping staff was excellent and attentive. I did feel that we did not have enough time in ports to explore the towns. On our stop in Ketchikan we were on an excursion from 8:30-12:30 and the ship pulled ...

In May 2022 we enjoyed the Alaska & the Inside Passage cruise aboard the Viking Orion. This was our first trip with Viking and our first cruise ever. We have to say they have spoiled us and set the bar incredibly high for other cruise competitors. When we started looking at options for an Alaska trip, it became apparent that a cruise was our best bet. We then started looking at different ...

We wanted to do something mostly in the US because of COVID concerns. Alaska was amazing, and made even better by Viking. The staff were attentive, COVID precautions and testing were excellent (we are both retired medical professionals). The cabin was very comfortable and spacious. The food was excellent and plentiful. The ship was immaculate. Entertainment was unexpectedly amazing! There ...
