We have cruised before on several lines and had loved our experiences river cruising with Viking but a World Cruise was an entirely new experience for my sister and I. The itinerary was wonderful and covered several countries we had not yet traveled to. It looked like a spectacular adventure so we said yes and booked.Viking exceeded expectations in every way possible! The crew was incredibly ...
We have traveled on several Viking River Cruises in Europe that are fantastic. Friends raved about a cruise in the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas on the Viking Star. One look at the web shots of the Viking Sun convinced us to take the three-week cruise from Miami to Los Angeles. All of our expectations were exceeded. Transfer from the airport to the ship was efficient. Boarding took about 10 ...
We chose this cruise primarily for itinerary which included Cuba and some ports my husband and I had not visited before. We had previously taken a Panama Canal cruise prior to the opening of the new section. Ship and onboard experience was excellent. But ports of call experience was below our expectations. At several locations it appeared we were assigned docking locations that were less than ...
Embarkation in Miami was disorganized. Our luggage from the hotel was put on two different buses and the port employed porters would not load the luggage until a tip was paid for each bag.
The ship was beautiful and at no time did it seem crowded. Lots of areas to relax in a quiet spot when that is what you wanted.
The stateroom was nice and the room steward was excellent.
The food and ...
Viking has the overall highest rating for river cruises and now that they are into Ocean Cruises, they are the best!
It felt more like a family than simply paying guests and crew.
The crew and officers are top notched personnel with years of experience and professionalism.
Captain and his mates sailed the state of art ship into ports of call with the highest safety measures with easy ...
I chose this cruise because it is special since it is Viking’s Inaugural World Cruise and stops at some places I have always wanted to experience and it is adults only. The ship is beautiful with “the best of everything “ in all areas. There are several choices of places to have delicious meals. I have never experienced such service. The staff bends over backward (with a smile) to make sure you ...
The Viking Sun is a beautifully designed ship. It is a combination of class and simplicity. Even with 900 plus passengers on board we found few occasions where crowding was a problem.
The port selection was very good. Although we had been around the world two years earlier, there were a lot of ports we had not visited. We loved seeing the pyramids, Shanghai, Sydney and Singapore just to ...
Thank you for taking the time to review your inaugural World Cruise experience, Gwtr. It was an honor exploring the world with you and we’re happy to hear that you enjoyed many aspects of...
We decided on the last minute to join this cruise and explore Cuba. The deciding factor was that we would spend an overnight in Havana. This provided an opportunity to spend more time in the culture. The hotel was beautiful. The experience was fantastic. Viking provided us a drive in vintage American cars through Havana. The driver was personable and friendly. After dinner we were then ...
Because the cruise went to Cuba a place that neither my wife or I have been to before. The trip was very enjoyable. The overnight stay in Havana was a real pleasure. The hotel was great and the show at the Tropicana was really good. They took us from the hotel to the Tropicana in a older convertible which was nice. The food that was supplied was good also. They claimed that the hotel was ...
We sailed with Viking River Cruises previously and had a wonderful experience. We expected the same with Viking Ocean Cruises. What was originally a 4 port cruise to Belize, Cozumel, Key West and Cuba turned out to be a 1 port cruise to Cuba. This cruise line is totally unprepared for ocean cruising and kept changing the itinerary and rules.
The food and service were great. There is ...
