Viking Ocean Cruise Reviews for Romantic from New York (Manhattan)

This is a 10 day cruise between New York City and Montreal. There are wonderful places to explore along the way with just a couple of very relaxing days at sea. From beautiful Quebec City, to Nova Scotia and Boston Massachusetts, the adventures never disappoint. The sail into New York Harbor is something everyone should experience, it is absolutely spectacular. All the crew and guests were ...

It should be mentioned right away that Viking clearly caters to a very small demographic of elderly clientele. My wife and I and the other couple that we travel with are healthy, active 60 year-olds and we felt that at least 90 percent of the other passengers were much older than us. We've taken previous Viking River cruises and, overall, really enjoyed them. Unfortunately, the things that we did ...

Having sailed with a number of cruise lines, my husband and I prefer the serenity, dignity, and quality offered by Viking. Two months prior to this September 2022 cruise we had taken a family cruise with Royal Caribbean, and the differences between RC and Viking were stark. The Royal Caribbean cruise, while fun for the younger crowd in our group, was loud, frenetic and boisterous, and the ...

We booked this cruise for several reasons, but we did have a large credit from a covid canceled cruise and needed to use it soon. The itinerary was interesting and our daughter and grandkids live in Connecticut. We had sailed Viking once before and this cruise was great like the first one. Staff was friendly and hardworking. Ports were fun! Captain and crew had to work around our big ...

We had room service and a scrumptious breakfast on the days we had an early tour and it was no extra cost. We enjoyed high tea only once we need to take a longer tour with a day st sea so we can enjoy all the benefits on the ship. We loved the Alaskan king crab legs and the specialty restaurants we loved the Nordic spa experience. They really thought of everything when they designed the ship there ...

Both embarkation and disembarkation went very smoothly. We were always treated with a welcoming attitude by the crew in all departments. Very professional but also very personable. Having been on Holland America and Oceania, which we also thoroughly enjoyed, Viking has made a lasting impression! Due to its smaller size and number of passengers as well as the comfortable open and inviting common ...

We are just off of the Viking Star...around the Caribbean Sea cruise. We left oct. 18 from Manhattan, NYC. It was a blustery warm day. This was our 1st ocean cruise after several river cruises (also w viking). It is a fabulous ship. Clean...very clean...with a tremendous staff. They always went above and beyond....from the housekeeping staff to waiters on up! We had done a ...

We chose this cruise as it was two weeks in duration, a good price and had four islands we hadn’t yet visited. We enjoy the fact that just about everything is paid for up front so there’s no big surprise at the end. Wine and beer with lunch and dinner always flow freely. Soft drinks/juices, tea and coffee are available 24 hours a day and water is provided before leaving on excursions. There are ...

We spent a few days ahead of this cruise "doing" New York city -- seeing a couple of outstanding plays and touring the 9/11 Memorial. Ironically enough, that time became even more memorable and enjoyable in some ways than the cruise on Viking Star itself. Embarkation was a hassle only because the precise location of the ship was not made known to us, so our Uber driver had to drop us a ...

Wanted to go to Bermuda and see a bit of the Western Caribbean. It was relaxing with good music and entertainment. The special speakers were very interesting. Liked the convenience of free washers and dryers. Met some very nice people. Staff all very helpful.The spa looked very nice, but never went in- afterwards someone said that it was free - don't know if this is true. We used the walking ...
