"We chose this cruise - which was Iceland and Greenland (Cruise Critic won't let us choose them in the options) because we'd been wanting to go to Iceland.We also wanted to go to Aix-au-Meadows, the first Viking settlement in the New World, which is in Labrador/Newfoundland...."Read More

We chose the Viking Panama Canal 16 day cruise because of the opportunity for extended sea days mixed with South American tropical ports of call. This itinerary afforded us ample time aboard to take advantage of multiple Nordic Spa days, daily promenade walks at sunrise, sunsets on our veranda and star lite nights. Quiet times to sunbath with a good book or reflect upon the soul stirring live ...
I would like to start out this review with I love Viking! This is our 4th Viking cruise, and we have always had excellent food, excellent service, and great cabins.
Foodwise, on the Neptune we ate in both specialty restaurants, excellent menus and food. The Chefs Table was an incredible oriental set of pairings that we very much enjoyed. Manfredi’s was more than you could eat pure Italian ...
The service was impeccable. We felt at home as staff remembered our names and greeted us at every turn. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful. The entertainment was exceptional especially the Viking singers and musicians. It was nice to see other entertainment but the Viking singers and musicians were fantastic. The food was delicious in all of the venues. The staff in the Restaurant ...
We chose this cruise in 2019 for my husband's 70th birthday in 2020. The Holy Lands was a Bucket List destination. However, with COVD in 2020 and 2021 we pushed our cruise to November 2022. Then a death in the family forced us to push the cruise to 2023. Little did we know a war in Israel would start only days before our sailing and would prevent us from visiting the Holy Lands. It was now too ...
We chose the cruise initially because we were interested in the religious sites, especially Israel. Due to the ongoing conflict, Israel was removed from the itinerary and Malta was added. Due to the weather, we had several changes to the itinerary but we were pleased with the Captain's decisions. He also kept us informed about why we needed to change and frankly, the change from Naples to ...
Went two days early so I could see Venice. Had to pay $100 deviation fee no pre excursion available no transportation to ship either( normally included). Viking screwed up had me flying into Paris but not Venice. I had to sort it out myself (Viking no help , but very nice) the day I flew not knowing if I’d get to Venice.
So Viking Flew into Venice but then no time allotted or transportation ...
I travelled as a solo traveller on this cruise last year from Venice (Chiogga) to Athens. It was my first cruise on Viking. My only previous cruise experience had been with Hurtigruten doing the Norway Coastal cruise. I found the ship itself to be lovely and very user friendly. I was also very pleased with my standard verandah cabin. Unfortunately apart from the main pool the other pools and hot ...
We selected this cruise because of the itinerary. We visited 6 countries and got a taste of the Mediterranean so we can return to our favorite places. Viking has always been a favorite cruise line for us...so inclusive. We never have a balance on our account at the end of the cruise because so much is included. We did not purchase the Silver Beverage package and had plenty of wine and beer. ...
Compare to other cruise ships we took in the past; Viking is head and shoulders above all other cruise ships. Including best customer service (they even remember our names), cleanliness of stateroom and the entire ship, 5-star services in all restaurants, bars on the ship and stateroom. In addition to the excellent services, the food was spectacular. To serve so many people every day and ...
We have cruised many times before but never on Viking. It was an unbelievable experience. Every need was met, the staff was so friendly and helpful. Our room steward was so great. Anything we needed was taken care of very quickly. It was not crowded and we never waited in line for anything. The excursions were top notch, so well run and efficient. The ship was spotless and the food was phenomenal. ...
