We always wanted to see the beauty of the Greek islands. We were not disappointed. As starters, the Viking Star Ocean cruise ship was charming with its many alcoves for sitting and visiting with friends. The meals and service were beyond reproach. We found our experience on the Viking Star to be the most relaxing cruise we have ever been on.
Embarkation and disembarkation was easy and ...
We picked this cruise because we have sailed with Viking many times before. They are a fabulous company that treats its guests like adults. The itinerary was fantastic.
Shore excursions are always educational and guides are knowledgeable and experienced. Took some optional tours which were outstanding.
We have sailed Viking Ocean Sips before. Love the style and the many places to find a ...
Viking Ocean Cruises excellent in Customer Experience. We also had the pre cruise excursion that was outstanding in experiencing all that Athens had to offer. The staff that Viking provide at the hotel were well organized and beyond cheerful. The Athens Hilton was an excellent hotel with an excellent location to walk and explore the city on our own as well as the provided Viking Excursions. Once ...
Friends of ours are long time Viking patrons and they asked if we wanted to accompany them on this one. I really did not think my husband would try cruising again as our 2 Caribbean experiences were not to our liking. Viking made us believers again and now we are going to Australia and New Zealand with them!
We loved being able to go to talks about the next port and when Viking had to cancel ...
WE wanted to see many places in order to have a good taste of Italy and other beautiful places.
Everything from the food to the service and entertainment was excellent. The only negative was dangerous stairs leading into the wave pool. They were unsteady and usafe. A traveler we met slipped on those stairs and sliced her leg clear to the muscle causing pain and inconvenience as she missed ...
We wanted to experience six uninterrupted days at sea to unwind and enjoy the food, the lectures, and the ambiance aboard ship. Viking didn't fail us - it was the best experience we've ever had cruising. We particularly enjoyed the fascinating lecturers with topics ranging from World War II Atlantic submarine warfare, to Antarctic explorers, to world-class ocean rowing; first-run movies each ...
I chose this cruise because it left from Miami where I live. The ship is beautiful and is keep extremely clean in all areas. Service in all area were polite, pleasant and happy to help in any way needed. I was a single traveler so my cabin was quite comfortable. For two people I think the drawers are not adequate.Shower was exceptional hot water whenever needed.The Manfredi's restaurant was the ...
We are incredulous about the service on this ship: friendly, attentitive, and conscientious. Each person we see greets us warmly and with authenticity. The waiters learn your names within a day or two and treat you like royalty.
After five days of being at sea, there is no let up in the attention to detail and graciousness. The food is generally quite good; the sushi bar is excellent and ...
We have sailed transatlantic six times, this was the best experience in many ways. The five lecturers kept us busy two or three times s day with history, ecology and sports talks.
Athens crew was friendly, helpful, professional, informal, consistant. The food was excellent in all venues. There is no extra charge for the two specialty restaurants,
The public spaces are comfortable with many ...
We chose this cruise because it was going to Cuba. We felt we should go before the United States decided to limit our ability to travel to Cuba. This did happen several months after our cruise. The only draw back to the cruise was we miss a port due to weather conditions.
The ship and excursions were great. There are many great places to sit, relax, and enjoy a cocktail. The food was ...
