Stockholm Cruise Reviews

This was my third Viking Cruise, but my first Ocean cruise. The ship itself was beautiful and very well equipped with everything a traveller would need! Our Deluxe Veranda cabin was just big enough for our needs. The bathroom was large and comfortable. Heated floors were a bonus. The body lotion, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner were by Freyer and were excellent quality. They were ...

We have traveled with Viking before - river cruise. We have never eaten better in our lives, our stateroom was very good and well cared for. The executive chef was even able to prepare a special meal for our 60th Wedding Anniversary. I took two items off my bucket list - Faberge Museum and the Hermitage. I wanted to take the housekeeping staff home. Every aspect of the cruise was very efficient. ...

This was our 30th anniversary cruise and we wanted to do something special. We had done this itinerary before on a different cruise line but we had heard so much about Viking Ocean cruises, that we thought we would give it a try. Viking Sky certainly exceeded both my wife and my expectations. From the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff to the visibility and helpfulness of the line ...

Viking is an amazing cruise line - doing almost everything right. Starting from the top, the Captain was visible the entire cruise, he has lunch on the pool deck, dinner in the Aquivit Terrace (along with other officers), and just see him walking around. Seeing the head chef coming on board with a cart full of fresh groceries. The Cruise director and assistant Cruise Director were both always ...

Wonderful way to see this part of the world! Small ship, gorgeous scenery, real life history, delectable food, efficient crew and staff, and an overall enjoyable vacation. Viking has thought of everything to make the trip easy and effortless. Extremely early arrival was greeted by welcoming guides, breakfast, champagne, and an area to hang out in until cabins were ready. Fellow travelers were ...

Kudos to Viking for targeting this niche market - smaller ships with no children allowed and with a focus on learning and history. We picked the Viking Sky Homelands Cruise specifically for these reasons - and were not disappointed at all! We started in Stockholm and finished in Bergen Norway, with several ports in between along with one complete sea day on this 15 day trip. We knew the ...

We had researched cruises and felt Viking would be a good fit for us and the Homelands itinerary of great interest. We met wonderful people, the service was unbelievable and the overall ambience was perfect for us. We felt the variety of excursions offered was good. Two of our excursions fell a bit short of expectations due to time constraints and train breakdowns. Our room steward was exemplary ...

Viking spends a lot of money on marketing and is indifferent to the travel experience of the guests. The only way to see the destinations is to purchase the high-priced optional excursions, as the included excursions tend to be "panoramic tours" (a drive-by in a bus--impossible for photographs!) that end up in an overpriced gift shop where guests are left to wander around for close to an hour ...

We chose Viking because we wanted the smaller ship, & because of their reputation. We had a lovely time, but would we cruise with them again...I'm not so sure. The ship was absolutely spotless and, because of the small passenger numbers, there was always plenty of space to just chill out. Unlike bigger ships that we've sailed on, you could always find a secluded lounge area or a table. The ...
