We wanted to hit these cities since we usually drive and it would have been difficult to have done it
We also was tired of packing and unpacking in every city. It was a please to unpack once and hit so many different ports and having plenty if time in each one
We had such a bad experience state side thst it took us a long time to do another and especially abroad
Viking was above ...
We chose this cruise due to the itinerary, and the cruise line due to having a wonderful experience on a Viking River cruise. The ocean cruise lived up to all expectations, and exceeded them. This was one of the first cruises of the season in that area, and the ship was only at 60 to 70% capacity of passengers. The crew was fantastic, service was top-notch, and all amenities were outstanding. ...
I should put that into perspective. We are not well seasoned cruisers with 20+ cruises. This was our 8th cruise, with the 7 prior cruises on mass-market lines and on large (2000+ pax) ships. This was our first cruise on a small ship (<1000 pax) on a luxury cruise line. We'd been reading about Viking on CC and watching YT videos, so we had a sense of what to expect on the ship. However, ...
This was our second Viking Cruise. Our last was a river cruise in Russia in 2019. We were not sure what to expect due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the heightened controls and procedures that were being implemented at the time of our cruise. Viking made it feel as seamless as possible. The ship was beautiful. It felt very clean and the protocols that were in place were mildly restricting, however ...
We have always heard about Viking and how good a company it is. We are not big cruisers but thoroughly enjoyed this trip. My only, and small, complaint was that on disembarkation and travel to the cruise terminal, we were just directed to go places without an explanation of what we were doing. There is some anxiety involved in travel and not knowing the purpose of our leaving the bus and then ...
We wanted to go to Italy to visit my spouse's ancestral home, so we booked the Italian Sojourn on Viking and included a pre-package that allowed us to go to the village. This trip was while Viking and Italy had strict Covid policies. Viking did everything they could to make us safe and comfortable in dealing with the restrictions during the pre-package, cruise and post-package to Verona and Lake ...
We took this cruise to fulfill a bucket list item. We committed a year prior to the cruise, and planned all the port explorations during that time. Covid was just beginning to lift, so there were many conflicting requirements between the airports, the airlines, the hotel and the cruise company. There were ample cruise staff to help interpret the requirements, and to get us through the ordeal. ...
We have done over 70 cruises with a number of different cruise companies and had read, and seen on You Tube, very positive views on Viking so we thought we would try it out - in retrospect a mistake.
The good points - the ship is well planned; the décor was pleasant and it’s easy to find your way about. There is ample deck space and the retractable roof over the pool is a great facility. The ...
We appreciate you reaching out to us, Ferrs11, and are pleased that onboard décor, stateroom amenities, spa facilities and cleanliness were enjoyable features of your trip with us. We're...
We initially booked this cruise in 2019 for 2020. Everyone knows what happened next. When we saw things opening up, we moved the cruise to February 2022. But what we didn't know is Viking does segmented cruising...meaning they link several cruises together and passengers can embark or disembark in weekly segments. That said we did the first two week-segments from Barcelona to Venice. The ...
7 countries in 21 days…you get to be in one room for 3 weeks while exploring seven different countries…everyday in a new port. We loved our cabin, we did the upgrade (for 25% bigger) and it was totally worth the extra $. I love how every room on Viking has a balcony and sliding glass door! Ship was fantastic…food was great with good options. Entertainment was great, but our only complaint was ...
