Viking Ocean Cruise Reviews

Visiting South America had been on our to-do list for quite a long time. We took the pretour to Patagonia and this was really one of the highlights. We ended up as part of a group of 23 and it led to bonding for the entire cruise. One drawback to the pretrip, however, was we left the Viking hotel, The Singular Santiago (a very nice hotel) for the airport at 3:00AM to get a 6:00 AM flight to ...

WE like the size of Viking ships + no children, no casino, excellent food, comfortable cabins, FRIENDLY staff, & always an educational component. Cabins...always a great view & "patio", so spoiled by Cabin stewards...clean towels 2x daily, bed turned down nightly, knew our names and greeted us as we came & went. FOod- Enjoyed variety of menus & venues- Wait & bar staff are very ...

We wanted to visit places that we had not visited before, so we chose this cruise. We did this as the last part of a back-to-back cruise on the Viking Jupiter, which actually started in Barcelona, Spain. We continued to have wonderful experiences onboard the ship and were quite impressed with most of the shore excursions. We were able to stay in the same cabin that we had on the previous leg of ...

Itinerary was just what we were looking for. These ports are not to be missed. All events from embarkation to dis-embarkment and everything in between went smoothly and we have no regrets. Cabin lovely, cabin attendants were attentive, food excellent and served with professionalism, many options for dining, decent wine served with meals. We love Viking because it caters to a mature ...

We wanted.to learn about the history and culture of South America. The bonus was the beautiful unique landscape and meeting new friends with similar interests. It was a wonderfully planned trip. The service by our stateroom attendants was excellent. The food was wonderful and all servers were very friendly and attentive. The entertainment was good. Enjoyed the comedian and musicians. All the ...

This cruise was chosen by friends and they asked us to go along. They had cruised Viking before; we hadn't. From the minute I boarded the ship I knew I was "home". It was beautifully appointed and had so many small areas where people could sit and read, do puzzles, look at the scenery, converse...etc. Our cabin also was well appointed. Though the balcony was small, it accommodated two comfortable ...

This was our first cruise with Viking. It was recommended by people we know. The crew was very professional and unbelievably helpful in making sure that any questions or concerns were taken care of promptly. The Viking Sea is an excellent ship and very well maintained. Our cabin was well appointed. The dining was superb. All the common areas were very comfortable and easy to get to. Tours were ...

Embarkation was quite simple needing only your passport and booking reference. Got a nice surprise when we got upgraded - thanks Viking! Junior suite was wonderful, the ship looked to be in good shape and decoration. Food was exceptional and by taking the drinks package no nasty shocks at disembarkation. The self service buffet was where we usually eat. There you could help yourself to as ...

Having done two previous Viking River Cruises but never an ocean cruise, my husband and I decided to try one with Viking largely because of itinerary and the size of the ship. We had absolutely no interest in going on a ship the size of a city. We were over the moon happy with our decision. The cruise length for the West Indies Explorer, was perfect, we never felt as though there were over 900 ...

Chose this cruise because we got to experience more islands rather than spending more time at sea. Leaving from San Juan was great, and being able to experience 9 destinations in 10 days was a reason I chose Viking over other cruises. Was nice being offered a free excursion in every port. Some free excursions were better than others. A good variety of excursion upgrades available. If beach is ...
