Athens (Piraeus) Cruise Reviews

Staff was very helpfull, food was fantastic. Overall I give it a 10 out of 10 in the main restaurant. We are family and we will definately use Costa Deliziosa again. Great enternainment, overall proffesional outfit. We only did the 7 night Adriatic sea from Piraeus, rainy weather and ports visited exceed expectations. The balconies just give you something special. Don't take any drink ...

We had originally booked a Mediterranean cruise, but canceled when COVID wreaked havoc on travel plans. I found this off season cruise of the Aegean and am so happy we went with it. Viking was superior in every way. I don't know if we can even consider going on another large cruise ship. With 450 crew members to our 850 some passengers, the service was incredible. I've never been so pampered. ...

My wife and I chose this cruise because of our previous positive experience with Viking River Cruises and because of our interest in Biblical Archaeology. While the cruise did not explicitly focus on biblical sites, the itinerary allowed us to visit the Acropolis and Areopagus (Mars Hill) in Athens, Ancient Corinth, Thessaloniki (accessible only on Viking Cruises as far as I know), Ancient ...

We had been on a Viking River cruise of the Rhine several years ago and really enjoyed the places we visited and the Viking approach. Generally, like to travel on our own and only consider cruises when the ships go to places that we either ordinarily wouldn't get to see on our own or couldn't reasonably visit by car. For example, the first cruise we went on was to a number of Baltic Sea cities, ...

To visit the greek isles and do it off season. All of the crew wore masks and were both knowledgeable and helpful thru out. The food was plentiful and varied making for wonderful meals. Hi tea at 4;00 pm was always a nice prelude into the evening activities. Each and every shore excursion was perfectly timed and supported by knowledgeable and friendly guides. All of the shore excursions were ...

We enjoyed our River Cruise in 2016 with Viking on the Danube very much, tours, dining and onboard experience that we decided to try Ocean Cruise to get a different Viking experience. Our tours were interrupted in 2020 and we were excited to be back in 2022. The dining was a very good experience, always a good variety in the World Cafe and the more formal dining areas were excellent. The staff in ...

We read and watched lots of reviews and everyone raved about Viking. Everyone on staff was so genuinely kind and friendly. This was our first trip to Europe and we felt so taken care of, from our flights being arranged and a number to call if we had any problems, to them meeting us as we got off the plane, to taking us to the hotel in Rome for our 2 day extension, and being in the lobby to ...

We had cruised with Norwegian once before and enjoyed it, but this cruise went beyond our expectations as far as staff, ship amenities and cleanliness, and ports. My wife and I splurged on a two bedroom suite and it was perfect. The main bathroom is outstanding and the size of the balcony and main living area are spacious. It comes with a butler and concierge as well as a cabin steward, and all ...

We cruised with Viking from Athens to Istanbul. Our experience far exceeded our expectations. Everything was so outstanding that we've signed up for two more trips - one ocean and one river. The accommodations, the staff, the staff, the entertainment, the Port Talks, etc etc could not have been better. This company understands client service and logistics as good as any. Plus, they have a spa on ...

We chose this cruise because we had always wanted to visit Greece and Turkey. This was our first Viking cruise, and we were so impressed with the level of detail in every regard and how perfectly everything was coordinated. The embarkation and debarkation experiences were simple and well-coordinated. Transfers were easy and we felt well looked after. The on-board dining was really ...
