Luxury Cruises Reviews

Having sailed three times previously with Seabourn,we are used to being wowed by their fabulous standards. However this time we noticed straight away that things were different. The cabin balcony had a dirty towel on the balcony, and when I leaned over the handrail my arms were the covered in wet varnish.. The vase had no flower in and the fridge did not have our requested drinks, it was ...

This cruise started in Barcelona and ended in Venice and was beyond expectations in every way. Viking has learned what is important and what is not and each aspect of this was applied to each day, passenger, port, and dining. It was our first Viking cruise, but definitely not our last. We started our vacation with a pre cruise excursion in Madrid. Museums and tappas tours with locals allowed ...

This was our second Windstar cruise following last summer’s Norway/Iceland voyage which was marvelous. Sufficiently marvelous that we invited three friends from NYC to join us this time. We previously sailed once on Regent which was but decent and once on Silversea which was slightly better than decent. Windstar ran rings around them on both our sailings aboard Legend and Pride. See our cabin ...

First time cruising with Viking. Won’t be the last. Really enjoyed shore excursions and cruise ship experiences (Spa, Snow grotto, pools and entertainment)! Food was delicious; Manfredi’s was favorite because of its popularity, reservations are required and availability is limited. We visited four countries in seven days. By far, Italy and France were our favorite countries and shore ...

The itinerary appealed and I wanted to see what others found special about Viking. It was nice but no better than others that are far less expensive. The ship was pleasant, and the food was good. There was not enough space for clothing in our deluxe veranda cabin. The entertainment was lacking and mostly consisted of the same group of vocalists every night. Daytime programming was practically ...

As a first-time cruiser I had little expectation of a cruise on the Seabourn Encore. Firstly the embarkation was extremely efficient and we were quickly ushered to our lovely cabin complete with a welcoming bottle of French champagne and a warm welcome from all crew members encountered along the way. The cabin was beautiful with a large walk-in wardrobe and double sinks in the marble ...

We chose this cruise based on the recommendation of our travel agent who said it was the "best of the best" and it turns out they were very wrong on this cruise ship. Starting with finding a pair of dirty women's underwear on the floor of our cabin upon check-in, being served frozen steak in their "nice" restaurant, finding all 40 chaise lounges at the pool "reserved" while 3 people were in the ...

Everything that Viking did for us was exceptional. The ship was beautiful, the food was magnificent, and our cabin was perfect. The service on the ship was wonderful and everyone was so helpful. We were so pleased with how they handled greeting us at the airport and on the ship, even with champagne. Shore excursions were great and the tour guides very pleasant and knowledgeable. Every ...

Went on this Mediterranean cruise for our honeymoon and it more than exceeded our expectations. The crew went out of their way to make out experience memorable and special. Our time one the ship was easily as enjoyable as going onto shore in each of our ports. The ship was luxury all the way. We got to know the crew well and the service was exceptional. Entertainment was also fantastic and made ...

This cruise is fantastic! The only thing I could possibly want is a longer trip! Most people who choose Viking are doing so for the cultural enrichment, that being said all rooms above the Veranda include all the same amenities (Nespresso machine in the room, robes, slippers, etc) so we chose to splurge on things off the ship because the service, food and experience on the ship is fantastic ...
