Service was wonderful, caring and staff would provide over and above responses. The excursions were all very informative, and had many delightful moments. There was enough time to rest and see things on our own in most cases.
Viking service was coordinated and when a pilots strike delayed our arrival, staff from the Viking Embla took care of us as if we were passengers on their ship. "We ...
We booked this cruise in the midst of the Pandemic and were glad when we were able to travel! While our embarkation date was the day Lufthansa Airlines suffered a major strike and dozens of fellow passengers arrived 1-2-3 days late and many others lost luggage (on multiple airlines), from the time we reached the ship, almost all was lovely. We took the northbound route with an extension in ...
We had heard about the Viking cruises from friends and were excited to try it out. We were not disappointed. I can't say enough about our cruise. The ship was was clean and modern. The crew was amazing! By the second day they knew our names and what we drank. The chef provided a yummy menu with plenty of options. The food was excellent! The tour guides for on-shore excursions were ...
I live in Florida so cool weather options are always great in summer. I had been to the area before and loved it, so this cruise was a great way to see the San Juan Islands. I have cruised on American CruiseLine several times before and love the intimacy of a small ship. There were less than 100 passengers. Every one of the stops were fabulous. Friday Harbor, Paulsbo and Port Angeles were my ...
Having cruised with Scenic before , we thought we knew what to expect and we weren't disappointed. The facilities, the cabins, restaurants and bar are all you could possibly wish for, but what stands out are the crew. Attentive, polite, but most importantly, open, friendly and always happy to chat. The excursions were excellent, although some of the bus journeys were upwards of two hours ...
We were aware of Vikings reputation for quite some time.(we're not typically cruise people). To say that they far surpassed our expectations is an understatement. The accomodations, service and itinerary were exceptional. (We did book a Veranda Suite, since I am 2 meters tall.) We whole heartedly recommend this cruise. The staff is super attentive to your every need and anticipates these, often ...
We have always wanted to see Egypt by way of a Nile river cruise. This cruise did not disappoint. The limited size of the travel group and that it was a new ship was a plus. The ship was wonderful with many areas to relax and appreciate the countryside as it passed by. On board, it was nice to sample local fair as well as have the ability to have more familiar meals if so desired. The staff ...
I choose the cruise because I was interested in this area and it was such a bargain. We were lucky with perfect weather and were able to see each scheduled excursion point. Beaujolais country was particularly lovely. The old towns were such a delight to see and I understand why folks want to own a home there. Atmosphere, rolling hills, vineyards - all delightful. The gorge at Ardeche and train ...
We received first-class service throughout the cruise. The service from the waiters, cleaning staff, and cruise director were exceptional. The executive chef and head of guest services were very visible and welcoming. All our guides were exciting and informative. Due to low water, we changed ships once and the transfer went very smoothly. We stayed in a room on the lower deck and we were ...
We are Viking cruisers and went on this particular cruise with friends. To say we had a great time would not describe near enough the stellar experience we had on this trip. My husband had a few difficult days health wise and the staff was absolutely far and away beyond caring and efficient in helping him. The concierge recommended an on shore dr whom we visited and received excellent care. The ...
