Rome (Civitavecchia) Luxury Cruises Reviews

We waited a long time for this vacation, and selected it for its ports of call. Sadly, Tunisia was removed from the itinerary as was Sicily. Naples was a poor substitute for Tunis, as it was visited on a holiday and mostly closed, besides being very dirty. A real disappointment. We missed Sicily due to bad weather and stayed in the port of Naples for a second day. The visit to the ...

We have previously sailed on 4 Viking river cruises and wanted to experience a Viking ocean cruise. We have sailed on other ocean cruise lines 20+ times, so we were looking forward to comparing those with Viking. Positives for Viking were the ship, cabin size, dining & service. The Viking Sky was a beautiful ship, probably one of the best we've ever sailed on, with spacious cabins (although ...

Continuous ship computer problems. Restaurant reservations repeatedly disappeared. Long wait times for bar service. We had the wine package, and at dinner, refills were tough to get. Long lines at the buffet. Items often ran out and were not replenished for many minutes. The principal training much of the staff has received is to repeat the mantra "I am so sorry. I do apologize for the problem." ...

We like Viking. It was going to the Azores which we had wanted to see and had never been to during any of our travels. We have sailed on Viking Ocean 4 times now. This was a cruise that did not live up to our expectations. The cruise director was very talented herself but pretty much dominated the cruise and did not let the other entertainers perform to the best of their abilities. The food ...

Overall our trip was great. The destination to Algiers was less than advertised. You can probably delete that destination in the future as it offered very little-monument to their Independence, Casbah was dirty and not very nice and offered little. This is our second Viking Cruise and we thought the Grand European River cruise last year from Budapest to Amsterdam was outstanding. ...

*Cruise chosen primarily for ports I had not been to before...specifically, Naples, Barcelona and Algeria. *Food in main restaurant was very good, including selections. Service was adequate. *Entertainment was up to highschool level...quite disappointing. *Surprised by additional charges for wine in main rooms...should have better perused info *Enjoyed indoor hot baths...very nice ...

We chose this so we could end in Barcelona to spend Christmas there. Also I liked that I had never been to any of the cities that the cruise was porting and I wanted to have a child free experience. This was my second cruise ever and so I do not have a lot of experience with other cruise companies or itineraries. My other cruise as to Alaska and on a large ship which was nearly 15 years ago ...

All new destinations for my wife and me. The shore excursions, both provided and extra, were superb, with the best being the Marsala Wine Tasting and visit to the baron's vineyard and winery. Algiers was a totally new and unexpected eye-opening experience. As expected from Viking, the food at all the venues, accommodations, on-board activities and entertainment were outstanding. The cabin service ...

The itinerary was so interesting. We especially enjoyed having the opportunity to visit Algiers. We had been on several Viking river cruises and wanted to try an ocean trip. Our cabin was perfection, very spacious and tastefully decorated. The laundry service got me totally spoiled. The bathroom was amazing. Heated towel bars!! Double sinks!! Instant hot water! The entire ship was beautifully ...

This was the first cruise for my daughter and I both and I can’t say enough about how impressed we were. Everything was first class, service was amazing, food delicious, ship was spotless, beautifully decorated, excursions well organized and interesting, and educational port talks in the evenings. I would love to sail with Viking again this year, but am having trouble finding availability within ...
