I had been on a previous Viking River cruise and wanted to sea if the ocean cruise could meet my very high expectations. My wife and I have been on several ocean cruises and with the highest rated cruise lines, but, Viking outdid them all. It was very obvious to us that a lot of careful study went into the design of Viking Sea and the result was outstanding. We had a penthouse veranda suite and we have never experienced a stateroom that was as well thought out as this one. The storage space was amazing.

The ratio of staff to passengers was perfect as we were not pestered constantly as you are on some cruises. The menus were excellent and the food even better. Entertainment was spectacular and the best we have ever enjoyed at sea.

The only negative we had related to the logistics of leaving and boarding in ports of call as more entry points were necessary.
