Viking Ocean Viking Sky Cruise Reviews

We wanted to see ancient ruins in Greece and Turkey and we saw a lot of them. We visited Troy and Ephesus among other ports (6 ports in all). The excursions were handled well. We used quiet boxes and they worked great. We didn't feel crowded on the ship. We ate in the dining room every night and usually had a window table. The food and the selections were wonderful. It would be nice if the dining ...

The ship was fine and to Vikings usual standards. If I thought embarkation at Istanbul was bad it was nothing compared to Athens. DON'T bother with the overpriced Athens extension. We had to leave our stateroom by 8am , ( no hot water in the room that day)sat on the ship for over an hour, in fact it felt as if we were just dumped off the ship before the most disorganised, chaotic ...

We chose this cruise because it covered all the stops we had missed on previous cruises. Seeing the ruins of Troy was a highlight for us!! The entire eight day experience did not disappoint. We liked the pace and schedule. We were up early to enjoy our shore excursions. Our return for lunch was always welcome and just in time it seemed. Spending the afternoon on the boat to rest, enjoy the ...

We wanted to see Turkey but don’t do bus tours. We found this cruise which met all of our desires. Each port was a highlight but Kotar, Croatia, Athens, Istanbul, and Venice were superb. Excellent food, thermal spa, and exceptional service. Top notch all around. We were a bit critical in that the pre-excursion tour was the same as our day one tour on the ship which we canceled but we were ...

New parts of the world for us to explore on this trip from Istanbul to Athens, then onto Venice. Trust Viking for their protocols during Covid travel having done their river cruise last Sept Bucharest to Amsterdam. In uncertain times, we put our travel in the hands of an operator to track the variables while providing wonderful service, clean spaces and delicious dining. We tested negative ...

Our Ancient Adriatic Treasures, Istanbul to Venice cruise was wonderful! Those two weeks have been some of the best experiences of our life. We took guided tours of the ancient Greco-Roman-Turkish ruins currently under excavation. We found these very interesting as we wanted to know more about the mythical era when Monsters wandered the earth, and the Gods were in direct contact with humans. The ...

We chose this cruise because we wanted to see many of the places where the ship stopped. We love walking through ruins and imagining what life was like at that time. We had been to Greece before, but never to Turkey, so we viewed this trip as our first visit there. Ephesus was our absolute favorite excursion. There is so much to see there and it is so well preserved. In addition to seeing ...

After a two year delay, it was with some trepidation that we resumed cruising on Viking Sky’s Ancient Mediterranean Treasures voyage. We had read that the checkin procedure was long and tedious but from the moment we were picked up at Athens airport to the arrival in our room, everything went quickly and smoothly. We booked a penthouse veranda room on the 6th floor and it was spacious and the ...

This was our first cruise and we had no idea what to expect. Traveling post-Covid lockdown did have a few challenges but Viking did a stellar job balancing passenger safety with an overall good experience. Our 7-day Mediterranean cruise was superb. We did not have any time in Venice, our embarkation point due to a port closure and had to be bussed 90 miles South to Ravenna to start our cruise. ...

My wife and i chose this cruise since it visited a number of cities we had not visited previously. We got off to a shaky start due to the change in our departure port which was not a Viking error but a change in government decisions. However, as always, Viking made the most of it and we were able to visit some locations we would never have visited otherwise. All of our excursions met our ...
