We loved the itinerary. We started with a pre-stay in Rome at Villa Agripina. The hotel was amazing!! It had beautiful outdoor areas including a pool and beautiful seating areas for drinks after a hectic day. It was truly an oasis from the busy city. Cudos to Viking for such an exceptional experience. The cruise ship is beautiful and spacious. Our room was more spacious than we expected. Plenty ...
I'm writing this review as someone without children in my late 30s. I knew going into this vacation that the average age skewed older (as first evidenced by all the stock images in My Viking Journey), so I hope my review might be helpful for others in my general situation.
My husband and I are not typically cruisers, but after a long and trying year at work, we needed a vacation where we ...
We chose this cruise as we had never been to this area and wanted to spend time in Tuscany. We had a travel agent arrange our pre and post cruise excursions. We stayed in Rome for three days prior to the cruise and in Barcelona a day after. The Sky is a beautiful ship and the service and staff were excellent. The cabin was comfortable with plenty of space for everything. We were traveling with ...
My husband selected this cruise prior to COVID so it was a long-awaited trip. The whole experience was exceptional! The ship is well-maintained, clean and provides a number of areas to enjoy the trip and the vistas. You don't feel like you are traveling with 900 + other passengers. The service and staff are friendly and meet your every need, without bothering you. We started going to the Living ...
This was our first cruise and chose Viking because of their reputation. We had friends who took other Viking cruise’s and raved about the experience. Viking did not disappoint us in any way from the flight reservations, airport arrangements, picking us up at the airport, luggage transfers,and hotel rooms. The experience on the ship was fabulous and the staff was more than friendly and ...
We made a poor decision to travel to Europe in the summer, partly because our preferred cruise to Buenos Aires was delayed by Covid for 3 years and we mistakenly believed Viking wouldn't refund our original payment. For that I can never forgive Viking. The cruise was basically fine and uneventful but seriously marred by extreme heat. Our first stop in Katakolon was a disaster - Viking should have ...
My wife and I have sailed on many big-ship cruises and once on the Viking River longship. We decided to try the Viking Ocean cruise with the Included Airfare and pre- and post-cruise extensions. This review reflects our experiences onboard of the Viking Sky and other segments of our trip under the Viking care.
• The best part of our journey was the 7 days on the Viking Sky. The ship itself is ...
This is LOOOONG! Really long. In fact it may be overkill.

My wife and I had a major Viking cruise credit left from the pandemic in 2020. As we did not wish to lose the major dollars in our account, we chose a cruise really based on using up the dollar balance, as Viking would not let us sail on multiple cruises leaving us with a zero balance. Initially, we boarded the Viking Sky and yes, the ship is clean as any cruise ship we have sailed on. We ...
Thank you, planohog, for taking the time to share your experience with us. Nevertheless, we are sorry to learn of your disappointment with the dining services and amenities on board. Rest...
We had never been to Adriatic and Agean Seas before and felt this was an excellent itinerary at a reasonable price. It stopped in all the places we wanted to visit and the few places we had seen before they offered very good excursions that we had never see before. The food variety was superb and the specialty restaurants were as good as some 5-star restaurants we have been to. The various ...
