We had a great time! Every detail was taken care of. What was especially helpful was the direct flight and the assistance with food prep due to my spouse having a food allergy. The maitre dee always brought the menus the night before so there were no surprises. I only wish that the second leg of the journey aboard the Hermod had been equally impressive. Unfortunately, it was not. Not once did we ...
After a disappointing experience with a ship of 3900 passengers last summer, we (4 family members) went back to Viking River Cruises for a relaxing vacation in the Netherlands and Belgium which was even more interesting than expected. We did the pre cruise extension in Amsterdam, before the cruise, in a well-located hotel and visited the Van Gogh Museum and the Anne Frank house on her own (be sure ...
B-to-A March 23-30 on Tialfi. With no preconceived ideas what to expect, I was blown away by our Viking experience. We did the 3-day pre-cruise in Lake Como.
One memorable detail of many that stood out was quality of local tour guides on each excursion: very knowledgeable on history from ancient times to present, culture and customs, entertaining and seemingly able to field any question the ...
I totally love this little 1250 max roughly little ship. Great Service, great staff attitude, great value. We have done a number of big ship cattle cruises which we we really started to dislike. No queues for anything apart from the odd coffee. The entertainment was really good and well thought out for 9 days, credit to the director.
We are hoping to return to Athens in October for another ...
This was my first cruise and I have been totally spoiled by Viking. The staff, the well appointed stateroom, food, activities - all amazing. I liken a gigantic cruise ship to a resort and a Viking Cruise to a mega road trip. If you are interested in the details, history, nature, meeting people and being spoiled, then Viking is for you. The Rhine cruise was so much fun. The staff is so willing ...
First time on a Viking cruise. We've been on others, but this experience was definitely notches above the others. Food was great, and their attention to customer service was exceptional. Our cabin was great. We felt like we were in a high end hotel. The staff was very attentive and made sure we we were well taken care of. They also do a great job coordinating the excursions. There are various ...
Summary of the Celestyal Journey cruise (14 days 3-23 - 4-6-24)
Despite having low expectations beforehand, the cruise fell below my expectations. As hard as it was to gather information before the cruise, once onboard it truly wasn’t much better. For someone who is a ‘planner,’ not knowing when a tour is going to leave until after 9:00 the night before just doesn’t work.
The shame of it ...
After reading reviews of the Celestyal Journey's first cruise in September we were apprehensive to say the least, but hoped that, by now, the glitches were all sorted out. And they were. This is one of the best cruises we have ever undertaken. We booked this on the 29th Feb sale day for the staggeringly low price of £140.00. 5 nights, 6 days, and overnight in Istanbul. Unbelievable. Included ...
Our first cruise , amazing experience , excellent service , very clean and all staff couldn’t help enough. Fly cruise to the Caribbean. Prepaid excursions were well worth the money with excellent guides on the day. Unfortunately due to weather , one port stop had to be cancelled and P and O refunded the cost straight away . We upgraded to an outside cabin with balcony which was a blessing as the ...
Our very first cruise . ( we usually stay in good 4 star hotels for point of reference )
Embarkation : this was a bit odd, arriving an hour early there was nowhere to prompt us where to go . Inside the terminal we thought ...but no ..we were supposed to line up outside next to the taxi rank , but it wasnt organized yet , nor was there anything telling you where it would be .We were on the ship ...
