Viking Ocean Viking Orion Cruise Reviews

It was a smaller cruise ship with fewer people on board. We wanted to try a cruise on Viking to see if we would continue to travel this way. We were pleasantly surprised by Viking's attention to detail and the superb service and attention given to us by the staff. We were pleased with the accommodations, friendliness of staff and the quality of the food provided onboard. The off-shore ...

The sites were outstanding. The included excursions were solid, the extras (we did both wildlife cruises, and the glacier cruise) were once in a lifetime level. Onboard: * The cabin, we stayed on the 6000 level, was spectacular. The views from our balcony were breathtaking. The cabin is generously sized (about 13 x 20). Very comfortable beds, a couch, chair, and desk. * Service: 5 star. ...

wonderful way to sample Alaska, the Viking Orion is beautifully appointed and the cruise staff are very welcoming, helpful and professional. Felt totally pampered. So much to do in the ship and with excursions, learned so much. enjoyed meeting fellow passengers, very interesting and engaged people. the excursions were well organized. the ship had so many places to relax, meet with ...

We have always wanted to see Alaska - and we have now seen ALL fifty states. Viking offered all of the amenities, and our traveling companions were our sister and brother-in-law. We were truly spoiled with a beautiful ship, amazing food, great excursions and an overall grand vacation. Laid back atmosphere - choices - happy people everywhere. Our only hiccup was the ocean got a little rough for ...

Viking has a reputation for no kids, no loud parties, no gambling and no mega ships. All of this combined with 1st class on board service and 5 star restaurant and bar experiences make Viking the only choice for us. Every room is a balcony room - there are no inside rooms on this ship. The ship has so many venues to enjoy throughout the day and evening and none of them ever feel crowded or loud. ...

My husband and I always drooled over the commercials about Viking on PBS. We wanted the experience of everything that it described. Alaska was a bucket list trip for my husband. We both liked that there were no children under the age of 18, no photos when arriving on board, no gambling, and the list goes on. We really relaxed. Everything about the Viking experience is above and beyond. It was ...

This was our second Viking cruise after doing the French river cruise in 2019. We were concerned about the larger number of passengers but somehow it still felt very personal and cozy. The ship, staff, crew, food and entertainment were all incredible. The ship was meticulously maintained, despite there being 900 passengers, we could always find a comfortable place to just relax when we wanted to. ...

Our first time cruising with Viking and it was amazing. From ease of the booking process to transfers to and from ports service was 5 star all the way. Viking staff was always at each step of the journey to help direct you to where you should go. On board accommodations were super comfortable. On board historians had very interesting talks about sea life, ports of call, even the solar system with ...

We chose this cruise because we have always wanted to take an Alaskan cruise. When we had taken a Viking River cruise in 2018, the guests we met could not say enough about the ocean cruises. The assistance we got from our Viking travel rep, Bruce, was always outstanding. The only complaint we have about that is that we wish Viking would be able to work some type of flight deals like they have for ...

Senior leadership were wonderful. Wait staff was great. Customer service agents on board could improve. Loved the restaurant. Did not care for the Chefs table menu. Manfedis restaurant was good. A little disappointed with excursion description on a few of them. The whale watch we thought would be more informational as described in literature versus being taken out to the middle of water and ...
