Heard about it 2 years ago when we did the Homeland Cruise on the Sea. Always wanted to visit Greece, go back to Italy and visit Barcelona.
The staff and crew were fabulous! Alberto, our room steward (now on the Sky) and Ivana our room attendant were fabulous and anticipated our needs and wants. They always greeted us with smiles. They are true Viking Ambassadors! William, the restaurant manager, always helped us with the perfect tables and reservations, and Elinora, the wine steward, shared both her great knowledge of wines and her friendship. Nickoli and Alexander would greet us with smiles, handshakes and our favorite drinks. The excursions were great and very well planned. Scott, the excursion manager always had time to listen if we had any questions or concerns. The Viking Ocean Cruises have exceeded our expectations on both cruises. The finishing touch were the Viking representatives who were at the airport for our departure. They collected our luggage and had it taken to our ticket counter, and then led our group from to bus to the ticket counter! Seamless transportation from arrival on 04 Aug (we did a pre-cruise excursion in Athens) to our departure from Barcelona.
Perfect size, the room had everything we needed. Very comfortable bed, and a quiet room. Always clean, never without fresh towels.
