Viking Ocean Viking Star Cruise Reviews

We chose Viking because we feel comfort in knowing we will be taken care of with anything we need while going on an adventure! We have cruised 13 times and this is our fifth cruise with Viking. We have already booked another cruise to the British Iles next summer. Viking’s accommodations and food a superb. The Cruise Director Aven was great! She was full of energy and could alwsys be seen ...

We chose this ship for the itinerary to cruise around Iceland with a smaller ship. We traveled with our two adult children and spouses. It was a treat to have the family together. Ship was beautiful and spacious for the number of people on board 900+. Many places to sit and relax but our favorite was the Explorer Lounge in the front of the ship which is on two levels. The staff was courteous but ...

I have been to Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland and loved each of them so I wanted to finally see Iceland. It’s an amazing and stunningly beautiful destination. It’s safe, immaculately clean, and has a rich and interesting history, as well as a friendly and congenial population. Viking did a terrific job - everything was well-organized, the excursions were great, the guides were personable ...

My spouse and myself cruised around Iceland for a week on the Viking Star. We booked an “Explorers Suite” in the aft section of the ship. This was my seventh cruise but my first with Viking having previously sailed with Cunard, Disney, Carnival and Royal Caribbean. We booked Viking based on its reputation as a premier cruise line. Overall I have to say I was satisfied but underwhelmed. ...

Our group of eight flew into Reykjavik on Icelandair, a day ahead of our embarkation. Our driver, Walter, picked us up at the Keflavik airport and took us to a nearby bakery (our flight arrived at 7:30 a.m.), and then straight to The Blue Lagoon. It was the perfect first stop after our overnight flight. We stayed for about two hours, which was plenty of time to enjoy the amenities, including a ...

Friends and Family had sailed with Viking (both Ocean and River) all with glowing endorsements. Decided to give V/Ocean a go and we were not disappointed until several of our well planned excursions were cancelled. In particular, a scheduled and confirmed by Viking excursion back in April - when the excursion window opened, was snatched back by Viking while we were onboard and sailing our ...

My wife and I enjoyed our trip immensely. We ate way too much, but walked it off on the shore excursions. We have 3 Viking river cruises under our belt so this was our first ocean adventure. I do not want to be negative whatsoever, but we really liked the smallness of the river ships. We would meet someone on the Star and then very likely would not see them again. I know on our river trips ...

Good but not very good. The only dining option that avoids the prospect of poor food and sometimes slightly chaotic service is the World Café which is self service and a visible choice of dishes. In other restaurants, the waiting staff are lovely but not fully trained, management make promises they know to be unreliable, wine is insufficiently chilled and food that on occasions is of a quality ...

Iceland has been on my travel wish list for awhile but the need to drive on possibly dangerous roads deterred me. When I saw the Iceland cruise in the Viking catalog, I knew my trip was about to happen. The voyage starts and ends in Reykjavik, making airlines easy. We circle the island clockwise, stopping in 5 additional ports including 2 in the Arctic Circle. Better yet, my dates included the ...

We travel with a group of neighbors and take a cruise every few years. We've done the Mediterranean, Baltic, European rivers, and Norway previous to this Iceland cruise. Three of our cruises have been with Viking - our preferred cruise line. This Iceland cruise was wonderful! The weather was terrible, but the people and the countryside were fantastic. Although the Viking Star is one of the ...
