Viking Ocean Viking Star Cruise Reviews

We originally picked this cruise because the itinerary fit our bucket list perfectly and Viking's reputation is such that we just had to try it after sailing on Princess and Celebrity. We are now converts and have decided to sail just once a year in the lap of luxury with Viking instead of 2-3 times a year with thousands of our closest friends on the other lines. Our experience was unparalleled ...

My husband and I went on this cruise with 3 other couples, two of which were very good friends. It was the very first cruise for my husband and I so we did not have anything to compare it too. The ship was terrific; clean and nicely decorated. Our stateroom was very comfortable and a perfect size. We had a regular state room 270 square feet. The staff was very polite and helpful. For me the best ...

We wanted a Mediterranean voyage that had multiple stops and did not want to be on a massive ship. The guest size was perfect to be able to meet many new people and small enough to constantly meet up with those new friends. We traveled with 6 other friends and the dining room staff always worked diligently to seat us together. The pre-embarkation tour of Madrid was informative and the hotel was ...

We chose our Mediterranean Odyssey cruise on the Viking Star because we were so impressed with our Viking Homelands cruise on the Viking Sea two years ago and two river cruises before that. Our embarkation from Barcelona was so smooth, with no waiting in any lines! We had arrived in Barcelona 3 days ahead of embarkation. So glad as some passengers were held up in the USA with snow storms on the ...

We had gone on a previous Viking Ocean cruise and LOVED it. On that cruise we went from Bergen to Stockholm. We told all our friends how wonderful it was. This cruise was the complete opposite. Before we sailed one of the destinations was eliminated (Tunisia) and replaced by Naples which we were already scheduled to go to prior to the cruise. So we had a week in Sorrento/Naples prior to the ...

We took the Moscow-St. Petersburg river cruise (2013) and loved it despite a serious weather event. Then we were on the maiden voyage of the Sea from Istanbul-Venice 2016--unrest in Istanbul caused a schedule change, but we had flown into Istanbul a couple of days early, so we got to see the city. We excitedly signed up for the Southern Mediterranean Discovery (March 1-8, plus 2 days in ...

We had been looking for a cruise that either began or ended in Barcelona and the fact that this cruise had a unique itinerary that included Tunis & Algiers drew us to select it. We'd also traveled on a Viking River Cruise and enjoyed it very much. However, the cruise was disappointing. Tunis was canceled two weeks before departure due to political unrest and Naples was substituted but bad ...

We took a excursion in Barcelona our 2nd day our 1st day we just got familiar with the ship and relax after a long trip to Europe. The ship was laid out very nice and convenient to get to different venues. Our cabin was much nicer than expected The meals on board were fantastic every thing was prepared perfectly. The entertainment mainly the singers were the best we have seen on any of our other ...

I have cruised with other cruise lines before but not can compare with Viking. The service was excellent and the crew was very friendly and helpful. The excursions were very good and well organized. There were a number of options for dining with numerous meal options. I meals were excellent and the included wine for lunch and dinner were also very good. Our stateroom was very nice but the best ...

We wanted to see the West Mediterranean Coast; Barcelona, Marseilles, Monaco, St Tropez, Florence and Rome, so decided to do this cruise with Viking. We thought late Feb - early March would be OK to travel, with some cool nights but weather in the 40's. Barcelona was a wonderful place to embark - we spent a few days prior to the cruise - Gaudi, La Sagrada de Familia, the Castle, and some ...
