We chose this cruise as a 1 country short break to mitigate travel risks associated with Covid Boarding was chaotic in Reykjavik as taxi drop off was at a crew reception area in a portacabin with no Rest rooms or refreshments At 2pm a Silversea representative arrived with a nurse - documents were hurriedly collected including the required PCR results and the nurse checked for pyrexia. There ...

We had high expectations sailing on Silver Seas for the first time. After 30+ cruises we were finally giving them a try. Unfortunately embarkation was total chaos, with no one from Silver Seas present outside, lines of people with no idea what to do, poor start..... The Silver Whisper is showing its age. Cabin design not the greatest with makeup vanity being at the end of the bed, thus when ...

This cruise line should stick to ferry service ! Having recently been to Antartica on Swan Hallenic we were expecting much of the same on this Arctic Cruise. We were sadly mistaken for sure, Surly staff in general, they seemed very over worked, except for the bar staff. Nickel and diming for most everything, for example, if you were late for lunch and ate in the restaurant that was ...

I love the fact there is no one under the age of 18 on these ships. Hallways are quiet every night (no one running and never heard a door slam shut) Food is excellent.. no surcharges for specialty restaurants. Entertainment is not flashy stage shows (I never go on the other lines anyway) The speakers have talks on what you are actually going to see and you learn about the geography and wildlife ...

Iceland was rated a Stage 3 country right before we left for the cruise. We had Covid tests within 72 hrs of departure. We were tested daily and restricted from going off on our own. We wore masks in the public areas of the ship, on buses, and any time (which was rare) that we were indoors. We wore contact tracing lanyards everywhere we went. There were reminders of handwashing and sanitizing ...

We chose to go on Viking because of the excellent rating they had and also the nice itinerary of the cruise. The ship itself is very beautiful in decor and layout. The staff were also some of the best have had on a cruise. However the cruise was one of the worst we have experienced. The day before we were to leave for the cruise the CDC downgraded Iceland from level 1 to level 3. The ...

Viking does a great job with its river and ocean cruises and this was no exception. We chose Iceland in August 2021 with two other couples as a unique destination best reached by a cruise with its shore excursions allowing us to explore the geography, history, geology, and people. The shore excursions and lunches were well organized, pleasant, and educationally rewarding (which we like about ...

We wanted to see Iceland and this trip satisfied all of our longings. The ship held about 840 passengers and never felt crowded. A very classy trip with great staff, entertainment and dining. The daytime lectures were informative and extremely educational. The entertainers were Broadway quality. The room attendants were so attentive and professional especially in light of the fact that they ...

We have traveled with Viking on 10 cruises and were looking forward to a fun voyage around Iceland. We had the required COVID vaccinations and the COVID nasal swab (within 72 hours of flying). Upon boarding the Jupiter, all passengers are given a COVID tracking button and one is required to carry this tracker at all times outside the stateroom. The button allows Viking personnel to monitor your ...
