We chose this itinerary because I wanted to travel somewhere to see the Northern Lights. This was our third Viking Ocean cruise and we received the excellent service we have come to expect from Viking. We have our fourth already booked for August 2019.
Our trip to Bergen to embark was interesting due to the snowstorm at the Bergen airport when we arrived, but KLM did a fine job, diverted us ...
I enjoyed everything on this cruise.
Everything went really well and smoothly, from embarkation to disembarkation, there were no problems, delays or issues with anything.
We choose the pre-cruise package and it was great because everything was organised and we were able to meet some of the passengers the day before the cruise started.
The ship is very confortable and the common areas and ...
We have experience of around 25 cruises on various lines but this was our first on Viking. The main aim was for my wife to see the Northern Lights, and thankfully we did.
Obviously our ship – Viking Sky – was very new and we were looking forward to seeing it. Our first impression was good. It’s sleek, airy and well designed, with some nice touches such as a lift button for the Gangway, heated ...
Antarctica 2019 -What am amazing trip. The ship and the crew where Wonderfull.
From the start, Ponant picked us at the airport - took care of all our luggage and bought it right to our room. Friendly greeting by the Captain, and cocktails waiting when you arrived on board.
The expedition team- was amazing, friendly, knowledgable and top notch. The expedition team is really what ...
My wife and I were intrigued by visiting Norway in winter, and Viking included free air on this cruise from Bergen. We paid for a Veranda cabin and were upgraded to Deluxe Veranda. It seems like everything is expensive in Norway, so staying on a cruise ship is a bargain by comparison.
Winter in the Arctic makes this something of an adventure cruise. The included bus excursions are fine, but ...
The Northern Lights have always been on our bucket list so when Viking offered the cruise we jumped on it. The cruise lived up to all our expectations and more. We were in PV 6085 which was very comfortable and spacious. Loved the heated bathroom floors! Our cabin steward Fernando was always one step ahead in meeting our needs. My husband had a head cold and he added a box of tissue by the bed. He ...
We wanted to see the Northern Lights. We knew that there were no guarantees, but thought that Viking would at least provide as much support as possible to view them.
Perhaps the problem is that we were on the first-ever Viking cruise in search of the Northern Lights. The cruise excursion staff HAD NEVER BEEN TO THE PORTS BEFORE. For that matter, neither had the ship's captain (I"m glad I didn't ...
Thank you, pgscmk, for providing us and the cruising community with an overview of your time aboard Viking Sky. We regret to learn your much anticipated viewing of the Northern Lights was met...
My wife and I have cruised many times with Celebrity and always received 1st class service. We have completed many of the popular cruises more than once so was looking for alternative itinerary's. We booked an Explorer Suite with Viking (similar price to a Penthouse with Celebrity) expecting a premium cruise experience but how wrong we were. We opted for the flight and cruise package just in case ...
Thank you for the detailed overview of your first Viking ocean voyage, pilotandy. Although we regret to hear about your dissatisfaction with the stateroom, service and shore excursions, we...
We picked Azamara because of the itinerary: three ports in Cuba. The price was high, but it was billed as a "premium line" so we thought the cost would be worth the experience. We loved Cuba; I had arranged private guides through FerTours (hats off to Alex!) in Havana and Cienfuegos and through Out of the Box tours in Santiago (Lisandra did an excellent job). In all three cities we traveled in ...
We recently did a cruise on Azamara Journey, 9 day Cuba Intensive. We were very pleased with Azamara, the service was fabulous, the food very good. We switched off between Prime C and Aqualina every night except for White night, the service was terrific in both and the food was very good. We had room service for breakfast all except 2 days as we had early excursions and they did an amazing job at ...
