We travel at least 3 months/year now. Our favorite trips usually involve a repositioning cruise, followed by a lengthily land stay. We loved our time at sea, never wish it would end.
This was our first trip on Viking Ocean, and what a delight! I can tell you all the good things we enjoyed on this beautiful ship, but I also want to tell you all the things we were thrilled to be without, like the miserable art auctions that take over the public spaces on other lines. No casino, no kids, and basically, no smoking too. Glorious!
Beautiful music in the atrium throughout the day, wonderful guest lectures, movies and snacks at night and an utterly beautifully appointed ship. Superb service, varied and well prepared meals served with some very tasty wines. Internet was included in the fare, as were taxes and port charges. The internet was surprisingly good considering we were on the stormy Atlantic.
Perfectly kept stateroom and bathroom, cleverly designed to maximize space. Worked well for us, very comfortable and safe.
