Viking Ocean Viking Orion Cruise Reviews

This is our first time in a Viking Ocean Cruise and the experience was amazing. First, the number of passenger is not too big (less than 1000) which makes the trip more enjoyable. No lines in the buffet, no crowd in the major areas.The meal is outstanding in quality and variety. The staff is very nice and professional. The shows in the theater are excellent. There are shore excursions included in ...

I choose this cruise because of a good offer provided for it two years earlier and due to the good reviews Viking had been receiving. In addition to the the cruise, I signed up for the pre- and post-cruise packages. It turned out the excursion included in the pre-cruise package was a duplicate of one I already signed up for after boarding the ship, so I paid out of pocket for my own ...

My husband and I planned this once-in-a-lifetime trip. We were not disappointed! Great service by staff and wonderful ports of call. Viking does an excellent job of attending to each person’s needs. Whereas on huge cruise ships where one can feel lost in the crowd, on a smaller ship such as Viking, they give personalized service. Excellent choices for food and beverage. Rooms and public areas are ...

We chose this cruise because we have wanted to see Australia and New Zealand and this cruise had a lot of stops in both countries. Another plus was having the opportunity to unpack once and having a home base to keep coming back to vs a land tour where you live out of your suitcase moving every day or two. Those were the top 2 important criteria. Embarkation was very easy, especially since ...

I was interested in learning more about this region in a relaxing travel mode and this cruise delivered. The one thing that surprised me most was how well appointed the Orion was. I have been on several cruises and none were as nice as this for me. So much was included that I way overpacked! I even enjoyed coffee and sodas in my room without using room service. Great as I like to spend time on my ...

My three positives and a negative because the world needs more positivity: + Stunning ship, well thought through with loads of areas to explore, read a book, and relax. We did two back-to-back cruises (for a total of 28 days) and never felt ship claustrophobia + Service-oriented crew that consistently showed how a simple smile can make a day + Little to no up charge pressure. Everything ...

As first times cruisers, we had selected Viking based on our research. And now we know why Viking is ranked a top cruise line. All the arrangements for travel, onboarding, excursions were handled with utmost precision. Viking excelled at providing concise and timely details pertaining to our cruise. We were pleased with the variety of excursions planned during the cruise. And during the sailing ...

We had just retired and wanted a trip to decompress from owning a business, and was lucky enough to book this trip on short notice. The excursions were well organized, the ship had a lot of activities everyday that were well published. The food was top knotch, the bars were scenic and convenient. The Norfic spa was flat out amazing, with big heated pool, hot tubs, sauna, steam room, ice room, ...

The cruise was outstanding. Meals were excellent. Cruise ship was immaculate. Enjoyed this cruise immensely. Viking is more expensive but no extra cost on the ship and includes a lot that other cruise ships charge for. The Prestine Alaska pre-cruise tour was great. 2 days in Fairbanks, 2 days in Denali, 2 days in Talkeetna and 2 days in Seward.This included most meals and several excursions. ...

We have had past Viking cruises and knew that this one would also be exceptional. While on the cruise we also booked yet another. We enjoy cruises that are adult customers - we do not want casinos or fancy dining and dancing. Viking gives us extraordinary food, always with the local area touches and lectures and programs on board that entertain and educate about the area we are cruising. The ...
