I travelled with my husband and we chose this ship because of the itinerary and the sterling reviews we found. We went on the pre-cruise Viking extension to Iceland and then boarded the Viking Sea in Bergen, Norway. We were in cabin 3021. We mainly had our meals in the World Cafe, although we did try out The Restaurant & The Chef Table.

Thank you for the opportunity to share my opinion of this trip.

-First of all, the Iceland extension was very interesting because Iceland is very unique. It is also a very expensive country. No fault of Viking-but be prepared to spend a lot of money for meals. Each day a very nice buffet breakfast is included. After that, with one lunch provided, you are on your own. The Hilton in which we were located is about a $25 cab ride away from the really fun part of Reykjavik, where it is easy to walk around to sites and restaurants. We found out that about 30 other Viking cruisers were staying there. We never got a choice! The tours were not optional, and we took one each day. Our favorite was to the Blue Lagoon..Iceland's gem of a thermal pool experience. Then, we had to take 2 flights to get to Bergen which was a rather long and chaotic event. However,I found out that there was a direct flight to Bergen, which some were on. Not sure, but maybe you had to buy premium air from Viking to get that. So, no more extension purchases from Viking. I will make my own way to the next ship. Read more
