Luxury Cruises Reviews

We booked this cruise for the itinerary, and because the dates fit. Regent is more expensive than our usual cruise, but we wanted to see if it was worth the money; it was not, which is why the cruise only received 3 stars. We had booked a 14 day cruise. Three months before the sailing date, Regent sent us a notice that the cruise itinerary was being dramatically changed, dropping many cities ...

First of all let me say that the ship is Beautiful. The staff was wonderful and couldn't have been more friendly. The food was amazing. The Chef "I'm sorry I can't remember his name" was always about checking on the guests. My only hold back on giving this a higher rating is that Viking still has some kinks to work out as far as ports, equipment, and boarding vessels for expeditions. Some of ...

We resumed cruising in 2022 but did stick with US and Canadian Ports for 6 cruises totaling 9 weeks. We are counting this as one cruise but it was actually 2 coupling with Thunder Bay to Milwaukee return on 25 June. Very comfortable accomadations, great food and service, super on board lecture and science programs, excellent excursions and unique expedition toys down in the Hanger like a couple 6 ...

We visited interesting towns in several Great Lakes, cruised through the locks at Sault Ste. Marie, and visited the Saint Apostle Islands. The boat is just the right size to offer exquisite dining, interesting lectures and activities without feeling crowded. The included excursions were enriching and interesting. It was easy to reserve the excursions and specialty dining. Our cabin was elegant and ...

We just completed the June 18th Great Lakes Explorer cruise, starting in Milwaukee and ending in Thunder Bay, Ontario.  It was our first Viking cruise.  Pros: 1. We thought the ship was beautiful, and enjoyed the many "nooks and crannies" to sit and relax. 2. The crew was absolutely wonderful.  They worked hard, remembered names, and were gracious and friendly. 3.  Food ran the ...

Reflections after sailing on Octantis Great Lakes Cruise: Milwaukee to Thunder Bay We just returned from the cruise and thought others might be interested in our experience. We've done both Viking Ocean and River, so we are solid fans of Viking and appreciate the high quality and service they provide guests. Overall the cruise greatly exceeded our expectations. The ship is beautiful, ...

Our third Viking cruise in 12 months proved as wonderful as the two previous ones. The dining and wine are consistently excellent. The dinner wines are varied and above average. Particularly enjoyable in the casual dining area is the fresh sushi bar - every evening - as a light, delicious dining option. The included tours are quite sufficient on this particular trip. The tour of Greenwich, ...

I recently had the pleasure of embarking on an extraordinary voyage aboard the Azamara Journey cruise ship, and I am thrilled to share my remarkable journey. From the moment I stepped on board until the end of the trip, every aspect of this cruise exceeded my expectations, leaving me with unforgettable memories. First and foremost, the Azamara Journey emanates an atmosphere of grace and ...

There is not a lot to say when everything was excellent. This was my second cruise on Viking and although the ships are identical, they did improve the amount of storage in the standard Verandah cabin. Still I find their standard verandah cabins small or a luxury ship. However the public areas are numerous, large, and beautifully decorated so spending time outside the cabin is actually ...

Sadly, having experienced the Silverseas all inclusive luxury we won’t be returning. Having cruised seven times previously with five different mid-range cruise lines; Cunard, MSC, Celebrity and others we thought we might blow our annual holiday budget, saved after many Covid enforced cancelations, on one top end cruise and be seriously spoilt. Other than the feeling of space on board the Silver ...
