Viking Ocean Zhao Shang Yi Dun (Viking Sun) Cruise Reviews

We have travelled the world extensively but never been to Scandinavia or Russia so this looked like a good way to do a first experience in that part of the world. When we looked at the various options it seemed like Viking was the best for many reasons. First among those reasons was that it was a smaller ship which meant that everything was not so crowded with only 930 guests. All cabins were ...

This is our second Viking Ocean Cruise. We were so impressed with our first Viking Ocean Cruise (Montreal, Quebec, Halifax, Prince Edward Island, Boston, New York) in 2016 that we booked this cruise (England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Norway). It did not disappoint! The staff are so friendly and helpful. The accommodations so nice, the amenities even nicer. The food is not only excellent but ...

We booked two back-to-back cruises on the Viking Sun to celebrate our wedding anniversary: the first around the British Isles and a second around the Baltic Sea. This was to be the first time we would cruise extensively in northern Europe and, after having taken five Viking river cruises in central Europe, this was the first time we booked cruises on a small Viking ocean ship. We were excited ...

This is a brand new ship, beautifully decorated, the right size, but many design and management issues. A ship of this size, carrying over 900 guests, normally has 3 sets of elevators. Here there are 2 so that congestion, especially after reboarding or after a show, is the norm. In some instances, such as on deck 2, there is no flow through in the corridors. On one side you come to a dead end, ...

August 25, 2018 Day 1, Subject: British Isles cruise Hello All, We had a great flight (Aug 24) on United, #16, a Boeing 767, seats 28A,B exit row, a bit cool (near the emergency door) but one of the smoothest rides ever. An hour late boarding start in Newark with delayed arrival at Heathrow due to ground traffic and a verrrrry long walk from the gate to border control and baggage ...

We are investigating who we would sail with for a round the world. So far RSSC, Oceania, Silver Seas, and Viking have been tested. We ditched RSSC after a sub standard cruise in South America. We sailed with Viking Ocean in 2 years ago and circled back for this itinerary. The service was almost as good as our previous cruise. . That cruise, no one ever said no to our requests. This cruise we had a ...

We chose this cruise as we have not traveled to these countries (Norway, Denmark) and were also interested in add-on to Iceland. We have done river cruises with Viking in the post and were generally very happy with the sightseeing opportunities and excursions offered there. First of all, this trip was new to Viking Ocean and there were definitely problems. The scene at the airport was ...

We chose this Cruise to travel with another couple and made the reservation over a year ahead. The quality of ship, crew, services and experiences was exceptional. We enjoyed the amenities of the ship and quality of the design of the ship. Our prior experience with Viking has been on European River Cruises. The ability of us to be on the same tour bus was not able to be accommodated ...

The time of year is perfect for us. The food was the best I've had on any cruise. Delicious soup. Sea food was outstanding: sushi, crab, shell fish, salmon, etc. And this was nightly fare on the 7th deck. The specialty restaurants are overrated. They tried too hard. Food was better in the main restaurant and the 7th floor. The Explorer Lounge was a treat at any time of day. High Tea was ...

This was our third Viking Cruise (second Ocean), and we have two more river cruises scheduled for 2019. In our opinion, Viking Cruises has always been at the top of our list. I'm not sure if they are experiencing growing pains, but.. Viking does a poor job at advising passengers that they are put in the back of the bus when it comes to booking amenities such as Optional Excursions, Included ...
