We managed to book our cruise/expedition at a very good price due to a late booking, our previous cruise with Scenic Eclipse was cancelled at very short notice. Which was disappointing at the time, but Silverseas have now gained a loyal follower! I can't imagine travel on any other line after the great experience that we had.
We were met at Oslo and Tromso by Silverseas agents and ...
Iceland bucket-list trip on a tired old ship. Everything about the ship was off on this trip--rooms were worn, carpets stained, tables scratched, etc, tours late or over-booked, food so-so-ish, and service mostly good, but occasionally lax. Everyone from the Captain, yes the Captain, on down seemed unhappy with the ship and the itinerary. Rumors circulated that the Captain had complained about ...
The MS Lofoten crew were brilliantly friendly and helpful and several passengers were so fond of the ship and crew that they were on a repeat voyage. Unfortunately, I was not to become so endeared to the ship.
MS Lofoten is a 55 year old Ferry. It was designed as a Ferry. It was built as a Ferry. It is operated as a Ferry. Many people (and cargo) use it as a Ferry. It is not a “cruise” ship. ...
My wife and I are both senior and retired and this was our first and only cruise so far.
We certainly chose the best, everything about our Viking cruise was top notch.
Embarkation was a breeze, very efficient with our bags delivered to our cabin in a very timely manner while we enjoyed welcome drinks served by really friendly crew members.
Our cabin was very comfortable and well ...
Our Viking Cruise experience was so enjoyable and staff services excellent from booking reservations, transfers for embarkation and disembarkation on board staff and amenities was exceptional, post trip to Iceland was great. Especially loved the variety of dining venues and quality of food and selection, included excursions available at every port and privileged access excursion to the ...
It was our first cruise, and this experience made us cruise lovers!
Viking Cruise is all-inclusive cruise line, so our cruise was quite comfortable, but level of luxury was not too much. It is suitable for people who like to enjoy not luxurious floating but exploring. You can have enough time to see around at each port, ports were sometimes a bit far from city center though. (Especially in ...
I choose MSC without going through the reviews and that was a big mistake.
The only high standard other than the ship is the amazing staff which I believe that they are the most valuable asset. And if they they don’t take care of them they will loose them all.
The food is not to the standard as in other cruises I’ve been to. The same food offered in the buffet as for n the dinner seating ...
We are long time Seabourn cruisers recently off a 16 day cruise on Quest. Last year on an 18 day trip on Ovation we noticed many changes, not for the good. This trip, it’s clear the product has sunk far below what it once was.
1. Dinner Service in the Restaurant/Colonnade. Three dinners where we casually appeared between 7:30 and 8:30. Result: At least a half hour between courses. Water ...
We wanted to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary in a special way and our visit to St Petersburg was on my bucket list.
Our trip did not start out too well through no fault of Viking. Our early flight was delayed 2 days so we missed early time with relatives from Germany. Our luggage arrived on the last day of the cruise and I lost my passport in Estonia so I was not able to get into ...
Great itinerary. Lots of stops in Ireland. One really gets a feel for the country and island. Northern Ireland was also very interesting. Most of the excursions were satisfactory but tame. We did some trips on our own (such as to Bushmills Irish Whiskey Distillery and Antrim Coast), Limerick, and other places where we wanted to spend more time. But many of the ship excursions were half day and we ...
