We chose to go with Viking based the recommendations from friends. We are not typically cruiseship people; however, the limited number of passengers (900) appealed to us. We were not disappointed. The Viking Sun is a floating masterpiece of design and function. We booked a Penthouse Veranda Suite on Deck 6. I would book the same type of room on a lower level as the rough seas one whole day ...
Itinerary first but the Viking ships are beautiful, great staff, wonderful food. Five star experience! The shore excursions were wonderful especially the Giant's Causeway, Canterbury Cathedral, Orkney was a wonderful surprise. The staff are friendly and can't do enough for you. The specialty restaurants are included and Manfredi's which is Italian, everything was delicious. The Chef's Table serves ...
We have cruised many other cruise lines and were looking forward to this one because Viking was supposed to be a cut above, etc. It is not and we won't book another ocean cruise with them again. Food was average. Not much variety. Service both dining and cabin was great.
We had booked an Explorer Suite in the aft portion. The Infinity Pool on the 7th deck sprung a leak with the seal breaking ...
We really enjoy the Viking experience and their attention to service detail.
This is our second ocean cruise and our ship the Viking Sun is amazing and beautiful.The food is always outstanding and the choices of dining are great, our favorite was called The Resturant but we enjoyed several others and found the World Cafe to very handy and full of amazing foods also. Our selection of ports and ...
This was our first cruise experience and we definitely feel we made the best choice with Viking. We couldn’t identify one thing about our cruise (and pre and post land tours) that wasn’t top rate. Every detail was perfect from the service, transfers, food, cabin and amenities.
We were met at the airport by our Viking contact and taken immediately to our hotel in Oslo for a two day tour. We were ...
We chose this cruise to experience a Viking Ocean Cruise after doing 2 Viking River Cruises. Had FABULOUS time! As with the River Cruises, staff and food was outstanding! Doing the Iceland Pre Trip was amazing, and helped us bond with our shipmates - which continued throughout our cruise! There were 12 of us who would meet up in the Lounge for cocktails, then attend dinner with other couples, then ...
I can only compare Viking to 2 other cruise lines, so I have a limited viewpoint. But just for the record, Viking continues to improve their overall experience with every cruise taken.
The dining is superb and 99% of the food was excellent, hot and flavorful. The ship was beautiful and clean. Our cabin was cleaned 3 X a day we were provided daily snacks, drinks and iced. Our service was ...
I Wanted the Iceland extension and friends wanted us to go with them to the British Isles. One of the big reasons for selecting Viking was the smaller ship size with less passengers. We also appreciated the fact that like the river cruises a city tour of each port was included.
Overall we were quite pleased; we appreciated not having formal nights, not being pestered by photographers, getting ...
The Viking Representative was waiting for us on our arrival at the airport. However, It would have been helpful to have had a "heads up" on which line for customs at Heathrow airport as we lost almost an hour waiting on the wrong line. Our arrival at the Viking Sun was welcoming and from the moment we stepped on the ship we could not have wanted more. The ship is immaculate, the service and ...
This was our 2nd ocean cruise with Viking. We loved that the ships are the same lay out so you feel like you have come home. The staff is always A1 and we love the fact that they all seem genuinely happy to be working for Viking and on your ship. The food is always excellent. Several selections of restaurants to satisfy your every different craving.
Just the right amount of passengers to ...
