I took a Danube River cruise in 2015 for my first Viking cruise and thought it was the most amazing cruise I ever took. But then I went on a Viking Ocean cruise and was amazed again. The size of the ship is great. I so enjoyed a great deal I got on a junior suite and airfare and enjoyed this cruise more than I thought possible. Was amazed at the great food on board. The specialty restaurants are wonderful. The afternoon tea around the pool was so amazing (and I don't really like tea). So much entertainment on board and great tours just keep adding to the "Viking sailing experience."
The staff on the ship go above and beyond the needs of each customer. Room are kept in great shape and so clean. Love the heated floors in the bathrooms, especially in cooler weather. All areas of the ship are pristine. Ever worker on board is friendly and helpful.
Only thing I would have liked to know was how much of Barcelona I would see on the included tour and how much more there was to see with another purchased tour. Being this was my first ocean cruise with the company and first trip to Barcelona, I had no idea how big the city was and how much to see. With the new Facebook groups out there, I now have a good place to get this kind of information. And there are so many people in these groups that have the same opinion that I have - Viking is the best company to sail with!
Amazing. Loads of room to store everything. Wonderful separate area with couch and table and another TV to eat our daily room service breakfast before heading out on a tour! Comfy beds and double sinks in bathroom with large shower. Wish I could afford this room again, but will enjoy the Penthouse Veranda we've booked for next cruise.
