I'd sailed on a Viking river cruise several years ago and was impressed with the quality of the Viking experience. The ocean ship, Jupiter, did not disappoint! The ship is beautiful and kept spotlessly clean. The staff is very attentive and friendly, all the way from the room stewards to the dining room servers to the bartenders and executive staff. The facilities on board are truly ...
Our friends recommended Viking and this particular trip to us. We’d been interested in a Viking River Cruise but booked this first. We will be booking with Viking again because in my opinion, no cruise line can compare-Viking really does dot all the ‘i’s and cross all of the ‘t’s. The ship is immaculate, the restaurants are all delicious, the excursions were top notch and all were handled with top ...
Viking is extremely well organized and the service is for the most part excellent. All of the shore excursion guides were very good for both the included and optional tours--our only negative was that there was not enough time allowed in a number of the museums to see more of the exhibits after listening to the guide's narrations. Tours operate rain or shine but umbrellas are provided. We were ...
Having dreamed of the Viking Homelands cruise for years, we finally had a chance to book after the Covid pandemic was under control. We found no disappointment in the changed itinerary due to the multiple offerings in the cities we visited. Malbork Castle, in Gdansk, was especially impressive due to the rich history involved. We were able to arrange that at the last minute due to extraordinary ...
We chose this cruise to be able to visit the countries it consisted of. We thoroughly enjoyed each country and city. The staff of Viking cruise were unbelievable in service and attitude and atmosphere. Cabins were well tended to. Wait staff was excellent and the rest areas and gym area was well maintained and clean. Common areas always had team members ready to assist or simply greet guests. From ...
My wife and I were interested in getting a taste of Scandinavia and we chose to cruise with Viking because we have had great trips with them in the past.
We feel that Viking handles all aspects of the cruise very well. We were not disappointed this time, every thing went well from the time we booked the trip. The embarkation and disembarkation processes were smooth. Once on board we ...
We've resisted taking a cruise b/c we didn't like the idea of being on a massive floating hotel or amusement park, with thousands disembarking at every port. However, my health and more limited mobility--I use walking sticks for balance and a small mobility scooter otherwise-- forced us to re-evaluate cruises b/c having a 'home base' every night, and unpacking only once for the trip were ...
How cool is this? My husband and I boarded Viking Jupiter on the very day we were celebrating our 55th wedding anniversary.
Don't answer yet, because it also was my 55th cruise!
Although I had taken 54 other cruises, including four river cruises, the only other Viking we had cruised on was Viking Octantis, an expedition-type ship that has a maximum capacity of under 400 guests. We did a ...
The Viking experience was wonderful from the booking experience right on through de-embankment. We enjoyed the, knowledgeable and professional crew and staff. The ship was clean, comfortable and fresh. We never had to request a thing; it was there and waiting from clean towels to a fully packed mini bar daily. The dining experiences were varied, delicious and could be tailored and cooked to ...
The ship was amazing. Two pools, gym, putting course, and more. Lots of great places to sit and relax, read a book, or gather with friends. Ship layout was very well done. The food was incredible - many different options. Our stateroom was very, very nice. All of the staff was top-notch. We became friends with many of them! And the destinations were really great! We enjoyed the many things to do ...
