We had decided to join our friends on this cruise however we had not done our homework and the weather was brutally hot. Of course Viking can’t control the environment but it certainly would be a key factor if we decided to go again in that time slot. We enjoyed the amenities and service on the ship especially High Tea. It would have been nice to have tours that we’re a bit longer at each stop ...
My wife and I were anxious to try the much touted Viking Ocean. We booked a one week Rome to Barcelona cruise with a three-day pre-cruise Umbria extension. We made our own flight arrangements in order to assure only direct flights to and from. We were, however, obligated to arrive on the day our extension began. Would have preferred to arrive a day or two earlier and meet the Viking guides at the ...
We chose this cruise to try out Viking Ocean cruises. It was a very nice experience! Low key luxury & excellent service!
We chose a penthouse veranda for the extra space. It was super nice! This was a port-intensive cruise - Livorno, Monte Carlo, Marseille & Barcelona - so no sea days. But we still managed to use the pool, gym & restaurants. All good except Chef’s Table - we didn’t care for ...
This was a 25th wedding anniversary cruise. The boat was amazing. Room was a wonderful size. We had a deluxe veranda. The food was 5 star quality and was absolutely delicious. No need to eat off the boat. The meals served were from the region we were visiting - and did I mention they were outstanding!
The excursions were good. I would choose differently on some of them now that I have ...
My husband and I chose this cruise to explore Italy and have our hotel travel with us and not have to live out of a suitcase. We were able to explore 7 ports and 2 countries on our 8 day Italian Sojourn Cruise. There were numerous shore excursions offered. We especially enjoyed our trips in Sicily, Calabria and Sorrento.
But...traveling with Viking was much more than that. Viking is at least ...
The staff could not have been more hospitable or helpful. The food was excellent and the wait staff was efficient, friendly and extremely welcoming and entertaining. The ship is absolutely marvelous with beautiful and functional public spaces and staterooms. My mobility is somewhat limited and and everyone on board was most helpful in assisting me, when required. My only criticism of the cruise ...
We wanted to go to Italy but dreaded the thought of changing hotels every few days. When I saw the Italian Sojourn itinerary I knew it was for us! We’ve been on two Viking River Cruises we loved but had never been on an Ocean Liner. Everything was absolutely fantastic! The excursions at the ports of call were great and everything on board was wonderful. Our state room was nice and we enjoyed ...
I had never been to Italy or any of the othwr countries we visited.
Our precruise stay in Lake Como and Verona was such a pleasure. Our guide was lovely in every way. As well as knowledgeable and spoke English very well. All our food was fabulous. On board the Star we were taken care of royally. Meals were great and service outstanding. If I had to find something to complain about it would be ...
We had sailed with Viking previously and based on that experience we chose them again as the Ports were of interest to us.
We have never been disappointed in any of the Viking amenities - from our flight departures to return we never experienced any issues with any facet of our cruise. Everything was smooth and on time with no issues.
The land tours were great. Great use of time. Guides ...
We had never cruised and wanted a new experience. Also wanted to see homeland of my grandfather, Croatia.
Nice to be on a ship and never feel crowded. Food was good not as great as we were expecting. Food in specialty restaurants were just ok. The Restaurant was the best. We had very little time to use the pool and when we did have time there was no room with shade so we didn’t use. Understood ...
