I've wanted to take a Viking River cruise for years but friends of ours had returned from a Viking sea cruise and raved about it. They provided their Viking contact and BAM we booked a sea cruise. We cruised the West Indies for about 11 days. We did take the provided tours in most of the ports but did also take a couple of other additional tours. The raft trip in Dominica was great! Viking is very ...
Loved the locations we visited. Staffing was great and service perfect everywhere on board. We have taken several Viking river cruises and were excited to try viking ocean. We were not disappointed. Rooms were spacious. Cabins were light and bright. Dinners were gourmet. We tried the gourmet restaurants and they were so good. Loved the entertainment too. There were shows every night. ...
We enjoyed a smaller ship with less passengers and better yet no kids running around. We could always find a quiet corner to read or to relax. There was plenty of food. This was my first cruise experience but my partner had been on more. I was impressed by the high level of service and the comfort in all areas of the ship. However, there are several issues that we came across. The electrical ...
We’re pleased that our quiet onboard atmosphere was an enjoyable setting for your cruise, tanitpraipan, and that your crew’s generous service was appreciated. While it’s disappointing to...
We selected this cruise from an offer we received from Viking because we had traveled with them previously. The itinerary looked interesting so we booked the cruise. We are both retired so we have the flexibility to make plans with short notice.
The only major disappointment we had was the cancellation of one of our excursions: "Michelangelo's David without the Crowds". This was a very ...
We were looking to celebrate both of our 50th birthdays and our 15th anniversary. We both wanted to experience the West Indies, me being from the UK, and my husband being from the US.
It certainly didn’t disappoint, the islands were amazing, the fact that we were the only boat in Port on most days was phenomenal, the staff were beyond fantastic, and we really did not want to leave.
There ...
We did three river cruises with Viking before taking our first ocean cruise this Fall (Iconic Western Mediterranean). Wow. I could have easily spent a couple days just at sea enjoying all this ship has to offer. The spa! One of the best features on these ships. Simply amazing. And...included! You can snow grotto/sauna/steam/whirlpool...your fanny off. They even have lockers ...
The Viking West Indies Cruise was a great break from the cold of fall. The weather was super with some rain, mostly during the night. This cruise was similar to the last two we took due to Viking's ability to make everyone feel relaxed and pampered and the fact that all the ships are mirror images of each other in it's ocean fleet. Once aboard we immediately felt at home.
The feeling is so ...
Very Noisy!
Ask Viking personnel, including booking agents, or query the Web about Viking ocean ship cabin sound-proofing and you will get assurance that the cabins are very sound-proofed. However, that is not true.
You can hear doors slam on each side, as well as the rooms above and below, which makes for door wars -- bad design. Some hotels have fixed it, but not Viking. You can hear ...
We chose this cruise because we had credits to use up, and the time and price were right. I'd never been to the Caribbean, so seeing a new island every day appealed to me. My traveling companion had been several times, but hadn't been to all the locations on the list, and she said she was happy to revisit the others.
We signed up for the included tours for most places, but paid extra for the ...
We’ve never been to any of the islands the West Indies cruise included, so because of that and the fact that we’d been on a Viking River cruise two years prior had us quite eager to try a Viking Ocean cruise. We were not disappointed. From flights, transfers, boarding, excursion itineraries and tickets, and settling into our room to the beautiful ship and it’s wonderful facilities, staff who ...
