Baltic Sea Cruise Reviews

The ship is large but easy to get around. We had a mini suite on deck 10. Good location. The Stewart gave us excellent service. The stabilizer on the ship worked very good through one day of high seas. The port Ponta Delgada was a misty day. We had taken that tour (Adventure Azores) 4 years ago and of course it was better because we had the sun. In Belgium we did Ghent Canal Cruise. It was ok. ...

i can't say enough about the itinerary and the staff! Each stop was a great adventure. One scheduled stop/harbor was closed due to weather and an optional stop and full day of excursion was set for us (at no additional cost). We loved the eating options....each one was fabulous. The places that asked for reservations.....if we were unable to get a reservation, we just stopped and talked to ...

A great value for the money paid, I highly recommend this cruise company, the ship and the crew, and this itinerary. Every one smiles, says good or evening and what can we do help you today, outstanding service. The positive vibration is tremendous. The food is very good, fresh, tasty, enjoyable like any multiple star restaurant. The menus have a good selection of different plates to choose from. ...

The wide variety of ports of call were a big reason we chose this cruise. We lucked out on the weather as it was delightful in almost every port. Spain was lovely. It was interesting to experience Holy Week in another country and culture. Barcelona is very walk-able. Exploring the waterfront and Las Ramblas was a good way to start the trip. A shuttle from the ship to the Columbus Statue ...

We have done a number of river and ocean cruises with Viking and know we can expect a great itinerary, wonderful food, excellent service and if anything isn’t quite right, they make it right. The cruise departed from Barcelona and ended in Bergen, Norway. We chose this cruise because it included some ports we hadn’t visited and some we had, with the biggest draw being the Normandy beaches. We ...

The MS Lofoten is definitely not your normal cruise ship and very much all the better for it in my view. It is probably the only ship on the seas running year round for those who would not want to be on or seen on a cruise ship and is probably unsuitable for those who want all the conveniences on a modern cruise liner. It cannot carry passengers with mobility issues as there no lifts and a ...

The itinerary was nicely organized so that we had great tours with quiet days in between to relax. The crew members were very friendly and caring and always tried to make sure everything was perfect. The port talks were very informative and it was handy having them recorded and available in our room so we could watch them at our convenience. The dress code was nice and relaxing, you don't ...

We have always wanted to visit St. Petersburg, Russia and see the Hermitage Museum. And added bonus was the ability to visit the Faberge Museum which was fantastic too. The alternative visits included Catherine the Great's Summer Palace which was a very "Russian" view in architecture and a beautiful venue. There were just so many great experiences and the tour guides were very personable, making ...

• Background Information We are a retired couple who have travelled a great deal; however, we’d never done a cruise being put off by the thought of thousands of people on the same vessel. A fellow traveller recommended Hurtigruten after doing one on MS Lofoten. We liked the idea of a smaller ship without the nonsense of casinos, bars, and stage shows. • Travel To Port of ...

We chose this cruise because it advertised exactly what we were looking for and wanted something special to celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary. It surpassed all of this. Embarkation and disembarkation was a very smooth event. Staff were helpful and friendly at all times during the voyage, The expedition team were fabulous, keeping us constantly informed with points of interests and gatherings. ...
