Our cruise was a terrific learning experience! We try not to investigate the destinations so the we can absorb all of the details of the excursions and enjoy each location to the fullest. I choose this trip because I wanted to photograph the “onion churches” in Russia. Our travel to the initial port of departure, although a long journey, went without incident. It was the same for our return home. ...
This was the best cruise we have ever been on! Our first experience with Viking was a horrible river cruise. We were very hesitant to go on another Viking cruise. However, this Viking ocean cruise was the best cruise ever! We have already signed up for another one in 2020!! The ship was always spotless even with all the rain we encountered, every crew member was always extremely courteous and ...
We wanted a smaller ship (900 people) to explore the Scandinavian countries and St Petersburg Russia. The ship decor was wonderful......no detail spared! The food was magnificent and portions were perfectly sized. Everyone of the staff was warm and friendly. We learned so much about these countries (onboard through lectures as well as on our excursions). Out cabin was comfortable and the ...
We have sailed on many other lines and The Jupiter is a wonderful ship, like “The 3 Bears” not too big, not too small, but just right. My husband is an avid reader and loved the many nooks, spaces, and books on board. I loved the sauna, ice room, and infinity pool, absolutely invigorating. We expect good food and mostly thought it delicious and inventive. I loved the Scandinavian foods and area, ...
Our first time cruising with Viking.
We were very happy that wine & beer was provided during lunch & dinner. Good wine, too. We also, liked that there was an included excursion at every port.
We especially enjoyed the musical offerings-the violinist & cellist, the piano player, and the headliners.
Very attentive staff-genuinely friendly & accommodating.
We have cruised many times ...
We've wanted to visit Scandinavia for years, so we chose this cruise to celebrate our 30th anniversary. We previously took a Viking River Cruise to China and were very impressed.
This cruise provided a great itinerary. Embarkation and disembarkation went without a hitch. Our luggage was delivered to our cabin before we knew it.
The size of the ship is perfect. You are always able to find ...
Into each life some rain must fall and in my case it came in the form of a bucketful delivered on Day 12 of the cruise. But before sharing the details, let me say that cruises don’t get much better than this: the best European itinerary enjoyed from the luxury and comfort of Cunard Queen Elizabeth.
My first sea cruise was to the Baltic and it remains a favourite. Every port offers such ...
Between me and my wife we have been on 5 ships: this cruise (the Insignia), Anthem of the Seas, Empress of the Seas, QM2 (Britannia Class), and Crown Princess. We have been in inside rooms through verandas. This review is based on both mine and my wife's opinions.
Each of the ships have their pros and minuses and each provides a different experience.
While we both enjoyed the Empress of ...
We choose this cruise because the Viking Jupiter was a new smaller ship that offered many things, such as shore excursions, beer and wine with meals, internet and specialty restaurants, that were included with the base price. In addition, the itinerary offered many countries and ports that we had not visited before.
The crew was very friendly and eager to serve. It was a most positive ...
We celebrated our 45th and wanted the best for this event.
Great cabin and fabulous cabin stewards.
The entertainers were awesome, especially Matthew. Bartenders were total service and personable, especially Carlos and CJay.
Interesting excursions and we had a wonderful time in each port.
The food!!! Oh my, we didn't have anything that wasn't fantastic. My husband was especially ...
