Baltic Sea Cruise Reviews

We were excited to see this cruise priced extremely low. We ended up paying in TOTAL $580 for 2 people for the cruise, gratuities included. We are from the US and flew out to Hamburg to depart. Boarding the ship was fairly quick and easy. The ports: We had to exit the ship about 1 1/2 hours later than anticipated in Rotterdam which did stress us out as we had the shortest time allotment at ...

I have never cruised with P&O before and I'm not certain I'd ever go back! The whole experience on board Britannia was shambolic from start to finish. I decided to book this trip over Easter with my two elderly Parents (both in their 80's) and my family of 5, 4 adults and a 17 year old. Firstly I was unable to book cabins close together as the price to do this was more than triple the price we ...

Shielding for years without a break, and having had a serious health diagnosis, we decided that at last it was time for a break between treatments, and this reasonably cheap cruise seemingly fitted the bill, or so we thought.... Boarding was the easiest of all our many cruises as we found the ship is already mostly full with passengers from all the ports it has visited…..it's a bit like a bus, ...

Took the cruise because of the itinerary and the Guest Speaker CAPT Don Walsh USN. Regrettably CAPT Walsh did not make the cruise. If you look overly salty food, then I recommend Viking. The food is abundant and of good presentation and quality. I found the spicing of the food uninspired. The itinerary was great. The crew was great. The ship is beautiful and well thought out. The ...

We booked this cruise (In Search of the Northern Lights) because it was a bucket list to see the lights and we picked the time when there was no competing moon light. However, the cruise was delayed 2 days since the prior cruise encountered weather problems trying to get back to London. Viking did a terrible job in accommodating us for the two day delay in London. The hotel they put us up at was ...

We took this cruise with the intention of seeing the Northern Lights, which we did. This was our third cruise with Viking and they do a great job in taking care of their passengers. The boats are immaculate and the food is excellent. On the cruise, the second half of the cruise, and our planned excursions, were cancuelled due to weather. Consequently, we were unable to see planned areas and ...

We had not cruised for several years (pandemic and health issues) and were really excited to try a luxury cruise line. All of our previous 20 or so cruises have been with Premium cruise lines. We should have tried a short Oceania cruise before committing to a World Cruise so the fact that we were so disappointed was our fault entirely. On the positive side, the ship size was perfect. We were able ...

Chose this cruise as a quick getaway with my father. The ship itself is beautiful and a testament to great ship design. It’s not the most modern ship but internally in decent shape, cabins nice and well appointed if not they do lack electrical outlets and other modern touches. As per other reviews, boarding was an odd affair with people held I. The terminal and boarded by seat row. Terminal ...

NOTE: We were only on the first segment from Miami to San Francisco. The following review is intended to provide helpful information to those considering cruising on the Oceania Insignia. Please remember that this is only one person’s opinion and may not reflect your view or the opinions of others. I will be providing a grade for each of the ship’s various services along with an explanation of ...

I chose this cruise because the itinerary and timing suited my needs. I had a dozen sea cruises and 3 river cruises under my belt, but had never used P&O before. I believed, though, that they had a good reputation. Other reviewers have mentioned the truncated visit to Amsterdam and missed visit to Zeebrugge. Disappointing as these were, I do not complain about them - I think one must accept ...
