Bergen Cruise Reviews

This was our second cruise on Silversea. We initially chose Silversea primarily due to ship size. Our last cruise was on the Silver Shadow with approx 370 passengers. The Silver Dawn is slightly larger at approx 580 passengers. We had no interest in the 2000 to 4000 passenger floating cities. Embarkation was easy and took about 30 minutes. All rooms were ready and upon entering we ...

we chose to travel on Hurtigruten Bergen-Kirkenes-Bergen because many years ago my in laws did the same trip and said it was the best trip they had ever done, and if we ever found ourselves in Norway we should do it too! Well, we found ourselves in Norway.... Firstly it is not a cruise in any sense, but a working ferry. Do your research before you book. Our cabin was fine - but basic - the ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary, which did not disappoint. It was our first time cruising with Viking (but we are experienced with many other cruise lines). It would take a lot of thinking to find fault with the trip. The staff in the Explorer’s Lounge learned our names and drinks before the ship set sail and remembered us every time we visited. Staff in the World Cafe similarly got to ...

I'd sailed on a Viking river cruise several years ago and was impressed with the quality of the Viking experience. The ocean ship, Jupiter, did not disappoint! The ship is beautiful and kept spotlessly clean. The staff is very attentive and friendly, all the way from the room stewards to the dining room servers to the bartenders and executive staff. The facilities on board are truly ...

We chose this cruise because others told us about their wonderful experiences and they were right! Planning the trip on the website was so easy. Filling out the forms and having access to important information throughout the process was extremely helpful. The transfers and security were run seamlessly. Every single staff member that we encountered, was professional, courteous and very kind. The ...

The entire trip from pre to post extensions was everything we hoped for. These countries were on my bucket list (Norway, Wales, Scotland, Ireland) and can not wait to go back and explore more. I should have packed less and washed my clothes more often, this was our 3rd trip and I never seem to remember how small the closet is. The staff went out of their way to make sure my and my husbands food ...

While we have taken a couple Viking River Cruises in the past, this was our first Viking Ocean Cruise.....and a wonderful choice. The Viking Venus was a fantastic ship. Food was always good and plentiful. The evening entertainment always interesting. The crews were most attentive and always ready to help. Shore excursions were well planned and all interesting. Shore time for shopping and ...

I chose the cruise because I loved the itinerary. I loved the ship's clean Scandinavian decor. The food was excellent quality. I particularly enjoyed the regional menu changes with each port. The afternoon tea was enjoyable. We had the Silver Spirits package which was reasonably priced. We felt the wine selections available with the package at dinner could have been more extensive. The wine policy ...

This cruise went to several places that were on our prime "go there someday" list, especially Norway, the Shetland Islands, and the Orkney Isles. The ship Venus was beyond our expectations in quality, onboard amenities, quantity and quality of food, and best of all, staff. The staff of Venus are the best feature by far .... personable, helpful, and superbly competent in every staff role. As ...

Had the best cruise ever. Great stops with just the very best weather. The sun was shining at every port that we went to. The tours were all great and the tour guides was very nonlegal-able. They would spend time talking about the aera and the history of this area we stopped at. The food was great and had the private dinning room was the very best dinner and service. The spa was great. The message ...
