We wanted to visit Russia and Scandanavia and we had heard wonderful things about Viking cruises. The ship was awesome, the crew were very good at their jobs and took very good care of us. Loved that there were no children on board. Embarkation and disembarkation went very smoothly. Shore excursions were well organized and we received great instructions on how to meet up for our excursions. We ...
In 2015 we journeyed on the Grand European river cruise and within that short 15 day trip we fell in love with Vikings’ high level of hospitality and service. That cruise led us to the Majestic Fjords & Vibrant Russia Viking Ocean cruise on July 11, 2019 aboard the Viking Sky. This cruise was to celebrate our 52nd wedding anniversary and Viking made it the most impressive holiday that we have ...
This was my first ever cruise. My sister and her husband have traveled on Viking many times and always raved about it, so when a cruise itinerary for the Baltics had all places that I had never been, I took a chance. Now I understand why people love Viking cruises--you unpack once and then have top notch service for the entire cruise. Food and drink were consistently tasty and wait staff were very ...
Fellow passengers were very friendly and the staff catered to our every need as if we were the only ones on the boat. The tours were run amazingly well considering the combined logistics of boats buses and hydrofoils connecting with each other seamlessly. There was little waiting or downtime. The tour guides were energetic entertaining and informative. They knew their stuff and enjoyed ...
Loved the itinerary, time of year and especially going to St. Petersburg. Wanted to go to Stockholm which was our departure city. Returning through Copenhagen also was a treat. Was there before. The shows performed on the ship were excellent; the performers were very talented. It was great that there was an Abba show in Stockholm. Lectures were most informing with a very knowledgeable ...
We chose this cruise because we wanted to sail the Baltic and visit primarily St. Petersburg. We had been on 3 prior Viking River Cruises and weren't sure that we would like an ocean cruise with more passengers. But we were surprised at how intimate the 900+ passenger ship felt. The ship is truly beautiful, offering many amenities. We made lots of new friends, thoroughly enjoyed each port ...
We had heard great things about Viking Ocean cruises and we had always wanted to see Scandinavia and Northern Europe. The Viking Homelands cruise was our post-retirement celebration and it was well worth it! We saw 8 countries and 11 ports of call over 15 days. We saw historic cities we had always wanted to see such as Stockholm, Helsinki, St. Petersburg, Berlin and Copenhagen and we had three ...
We had done the Grand European River Cruise in 2018 and we were so impressed with Viking that we decided to try one of their ocean cruises. We liked the itinerary of the Nordic Homelands cruise and it did not disappoint. Every port was a great experience and the included tours brought each city to life with information about their history.
We spent an additional 5 days in Stockholm before the ...
We had taken a Viking River cruise and loved. I wasn't sure what to expect on there smaller ocean ships. It was and incredible surprise. They offers so much entertainment and the staff was prefect, after several days you were on a first name basis, every staff member spoke English which was very nice, you wanted for absolutely nothing. Port excursions were excellent and well organized. Being 67 I ...
This was a great experience! The itinerary was excellent as were the tour guides. We took the included tour in each port and then some of the optional tours that you pay for. The guides on the included tours were as good as, and in some cases even better than, the guides on the optional tours. The main restaurant and Manfredi's were our favorites. We did not enjoy our meal at the Chef's ...
