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 ...
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 ...
We had heard nothing but great things about Viking from several friends so we decided to give it a try. Our expectations were met on almost every level. Our room was great and the amenities were well designed and maintained. The staff who took care of out room were great. Food was excellent - several levels above what we have experienced in other travel. We ate most of our meals at the pool ...
The Viking Sun is ideal in every way. The ship’s design and furnishings are luxurious, while restrained. Definitely not over the top, like many cruise ships. With about 900 passengers it was easy to find quiet places on the ship whenever desired.
We found service and dining to be excellent. The itinerary was excellent, though the weather was sometimes uncooperative. The west coast of ...
Very well run from embarkation to disembark experience.
Check in was a breeze, no crowds. Someone took my luggage immediately and since I was early went to the World Cafe for lunch. Lots of servers and staff checking on you.
My room was scheduled to be ready at 2pm but an announcement at 1:30pm said all rooms were ready!
Room was fine, second level of stateroom. Only issue was not enough ...
Absolutely the best service,food, entertainment, cabins at sea! Don’t miss the opportunity to cruise with Viking Ocean. When you arrive at the ship they come out and greet you with champagne instead of the normal long embarkation lines.
All the cabins have a balcony there are no inside cabins. All the bathrooms have real glassed in showers, heated floors and no fog mirrors. There’s also a ...
We decided to cruise with family and friends this time around. This was our 2nd ocean cruise plus we already have been on two previous river cruises with Viking. Our 2 adult nephews and their wives joined us and since this was to be their first time cruising, we choose Viking to make it a memorable trip for them. In addition two of our long time friends joined us to make it a group of eight ...
This was our first Viking ocean cruise, but we did a river cruise with Viking before and loved it. The ocean cruise did not disappoint us!!! The ship was lovely, our cabin was too! We loved the balcony for wildlife watching along with the Explorer lounge bow. I really cannot say enough about ALL of the staff. They were extremely friendly and joy to visit with daily.
We loved eating outside, so ...
We learned about Viking Cruises from our friends who had taken two Viking River Cruises and had signed up for the Viking British Isles ocean cruise and asked us to go with them. The Viking Sun was a beautiful ship with a comfortable amount of passengers booked, not crowded like other cruise lines. Other things we liked over other cruise lines were no camera photographers, no children, no ...
