This was my first MSC cruise, and, to be honest, I was a little apprehensive! I've sailed on Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Norwegian before and enjoyed them all – but I did see some reviews before booking that weren't so complimentary of MSC. All I'd say is don't let them put you off because I had just a good experience on MSC, if not better.
Let's start before the cruise. I was able to ...
We'd been on one of you river cruises in 2019 and wanted to try a larger ship. We enjoyed this one so much we have signed on for a cruise with Viking next year. It was different with the covid requirements but that was handled very well. Our cabin was wonderful. We ate all our meals in the cafe and enjoyed the huge variety. Staff were so friendly and helpful! The fact that we could watch ...
We wanted to see the Baltic countries. We often visit northern climates and locations.
We were especially excited to see St. Petersburg. The itinerary had to be revised because of the Ukraine invasion, which was understandable but still disappointing. Unfortunately, the changes to the itinerary were not equivalent to missing Helsinki, St. Petersburg, and Tallinn. Oslo was a welcome addition, ...
We signed up and paid for this cruise over two years ago and then COVID interrupted life. We have always wanted to visit Scandinavia and late evening sunsets.
Everything about the river and ocean cruises on Viking is without par. Service and amenities and crew are always up to the highest standards.
On the other hand, we are extremely disappointed in Viking Air. They were very difficult ...
Just been on a cruise to the Fjords and had a lovely time, the staff on board are so helpful and the fresh coffee and chocolate staff are also so friendly and helpful plus the coffee was lovely. The staff who clean the rooms also are so lovely and helpful. Thank you to all the staff you do a great service.
We did use the Mexican restaurant the meal that we had was so tasty and the staff were ...
This was our fourth Viking trip. All have been wonderful.
This trip was postponed/canceled twice due to Covid and Viking made sure we did not lose a penny.
We really enjoyed the ports and the excursions. Viking always provides one included excursion. We often sign up for additional excursions and usually find them of excellent quality.
Our favorite excursion was to a fjord via a ...
Even with itinerary changes due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, this trip was terrific. Yes, we were disappointed at the elimination of St. Petersburg, Helsinki and Tallinn, and some of the substitutes did not hold their level of interest, but overall it was still great. This was our second Viking cruise, and everything was perfect. The food is wonderful. Even their "non-specialty" ...
Initially we booked a Viking Rhine river cruise for 2020 with some other friends and naturally was canceled due to the Global pandemic. We rebooked for the spring of 2021 same cruise with Viking, yup that too was canceled. So my wife and I decided to switch to a Viking Ocean cruise for December 2021 down to South America. This was a Christmas cruise on the Jupiter however in talking with some ...
1st time Viking cruiser. We had heard wonderful things about their unparalleled service and experience.
It was above and beyond our expectations. Starting with the exquisite decor, the furnishings and details were done in sophisticated high-end Scandinavian design. No detail was overlooked and all details were done with impeccable taste and class.
The food was everything!!! Absolutely ...
Chose this cruise because of our positive experience with Viking River Cruises and to explore new to us regions. We were expecting the dining to be good, but it exceeded that. We were especially surprised at how much we enjoyed the Chefs Table (ended up booking three times). We tended to eat at the ala carte venues for dinner and the casual options for breakfast and lunch. I am not a fan of ...
