Viking Orion Review
Rating by category
Additional details
We chose Viking Ocean Cruises based on our experience with Viking River Cruises in 2015 and our desire to visit the western Mediterranean.
We ended up sailing the Orion on its maiden voyage.
The ship is absolutely wonderful. Viking has translated their river ship feel into small cruise ships. We really enjoyed the restaurants, public areas of the ship, stateroom, crew, cruise directors team, entertainment, cultural experiences, ease of travel, and the optional excursions.
Cabin Review
Very comfortable. Suited our needs well. We booked the same cabin on our scheduled 2019 cruise of the Baltic and Russia.
Port Reviews
Barcelona
Basic information only
Marseille
Aix En Provence did not live up to the write up by Viking. It is major city not a quaint provincial town filled with charm.
Marseille
Good tour. Unfortunately the guide had a very heavy accent and was hard to understand.
Corfu
Enjoyed the countryside, the coastal community and old Corfu. Good guide.
Dubrovnik
Poor guide. Enjoyed walking the old city.
Dubrovnik
Excellent guide and venue. Learned a lot and really enjoyed seeing the old city and the area from the vantage point of the wall.
Split
Great overview of Split and surrounding area. The venue for the cultural experience was excellent. Excellent guide and people at the venue.
