We went looking for a Norway/fjord cruise and an extension on our own for a couple of days in Iceland - this ship seemed to fit the bill. Virtually brand new ship and this was our first time on Viking.
Our initial impression was that the decor and furnishings on this ship are excellent and well thought-out. The public area furniture is comfortable but not clunky and the general decor is ...
Family cruise to visit relatives in Oslo. Great ports with lots of activities in small cities which made for a real flavour of Norwegian life. Lots of time in each port to see and do what we wanted. Service was top notch as usual with a feeling that everyone cared for every passenger. Entertainment was good with a variety of performers.something for all to enjoy.
We had food in a number of ...
I choose this cruise because of the itinerary and duration of the cruise. I choose his cruise line because of the overarching theme of learning about the culture in the ports of call. I also liked that it was not “sold” as a party cruise. Viking is high recommended among my colleagues and friends. The ship is laid out so you never feel crowded or cramped. The decor is open and spacious. We ...
This was our first ocean cruise but we had been on 3 river cruises.We had some concerns about how we would cope being on the sea rather than on a river. We chose this cruise because it was short, with only the first day at sea and then a different port stops for the remaining 6 days. It was very close to a river cruise Itinerary. When we saw the promotion for this Viking Shores and Fiord cruise ...
We chose this cruise as we had always wanted to visit Iceland & Norway.
The travel arrangements from the UK were good. The transfer from airport to ship was well organised and our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a very good summary of Iceland’s history as well as pointing out landmarks during the transfer.
Embarkation was quick and smooth as we had pre registered our credit card. ...
We went with my sister and her husband who have done numerous Viking Cruises. The staff was lovely, the entertainment was top notch, and the side trips were very educational. And, the food was delicious! The entertainers were very talented and professional and a delight to talk with them. The ship was beautiful and kept so clean, and the number of travelers on the ship (900) was just the right ...
We wanted to go to Scandinavian countries and especially Norway. Since Norway is the home of Viking they were the obvious choice. Also, past Viking cruises were excellent and fantastic experiences.
The food on the cruise was excellent with several optional/special restaurants as well as general dining. We had wonderful service during dining and the staff was always pleasant, friendly and ...
We are experienced cruisers in our late 60's and decided to try something different. We loved the itinerary of this particular cruise, going to ports that are not usually visited by big cruise ships, apart from Portofino.
Royal Clipper is a beautiful vessel and is kept spotlessly clean and well maintained. We knew ahead of time that the cabin would be smaller than what we are used to and ...
I have sailed before on Windstar, Ponant and Seabourn. From boarding in Dover( a dream of ease ) to disembarking in Copenhagen, both were effortless and lovely experiences compared to air travel these days, that I refer to as "combat travel"!
They know your name within a day or two, and the service is remarkable from all departments! They enable you to note your preferences before hand as far ...
I choose a transatlantic cruise onboard the magnificent QM2 which departed New York in mid June. I was looking for a complete break after a particularly hectic period and couldn’t have imagined how thoroughly revitalising the experience would end up being.
I travelled solo and was amazed at the sheer quantity and variety of things to do - along with the choice to do as much or as little as you ...
