I was invited to join friends on this cruise. Although I have been on several river cruises, I probably would not have considered this kind of a vacation but was very happy to try a new experience. I liked everything about it. The ship was beautiful, even with a sold-out cruise the on-board venues were never crowded, the cabin was very nice, the food was excellent and there was plenty to do, both ...
Traveling with friends who had never been to Italy. Previous Viking river cruises were great. This cruise was delayed from 2021 due to cancelation by Viking. In 2021 Viking offered the pre-cruise Rome extension and post-cruise Tuscany extension. That was not an option for 2023, with only Rome and Tuscany offered as a pre-extension.
For those considering a Tuscany extension, do it on your own ...
We are retired couple who have traveled all over the world, we wanted to try one of the upscale cruise lines as we have been unhappy with most of the gigantic ship lines.
We got the penthouse suite which is only like the 3 category up and it was fabulous, plenty of room, walk in closest, large balcony.
People say the rooms are old but everything looked immaculate to us and perfect working ...
My wife and I are cruisers of 20 years and this was our first time on Regent. We chose back-to-back cruises in the Eastern Med in a Mariner suite and we were extremely disappointed by our experience. The ship, the dining, the entertainment were all painfully average, but the trip was totally marred by housekeeping issues. A stain on a sheet on the first night was changed quickly and efficiently. ...
Food is very poor and unrefined.
It’s average and perhaps on par with mediocre tourist restaurant in a city
The wine is not good.
They have absolutely NO idea about someone who has an autoimmune condition, I am celiac and react to both gluten and seed oils. The chef neither staff are concerned about gluten contamination. And don’t seem to care about my persistence on this.
The ...
There were 8 people in our group. We unanimously chose Viking based on reviews and word of mouth from our friends who had previously been on Viking cruises.
We had the trip of a lifetime on the Viking Sky! Everything was perfect. Viking makes it so easy to enjoy every aspect of the experience. The ship is beautiful, the crew is so friendly and accommodating, the food is delicious and the ...
Some things I loved about my cruise with my mother:
Rome Extension- allowed us to adjust/get through jet lag before embarking on the ship.
The cabins! - spacious bathroom! Extremely comfortable beds and bedding. Spacious veranda with two chairs and table.
The Food! Fresh and delicious fresh fruit at each meal time. So many bakery options! Gelato and the donuts were my favorite ...
We just got back from a wonderful Mediterranean cruise, on Azamara Journey. This cruise line is so wonderful ! We have been on 10 cruises, to date. Azamara has been the most attentive, efficient, kind helpful to its passengers.
From the captain, who greets you every morning with info and is there when you leave the ship for port adventure.
He kept us informed ,communicated and was friendly ...
Viking is exceptional. Everything was 5 stars, from the embarkation as well as disembarkation process was easy and efficient. Our stateroom was ready on time, it had nice finishes and amenities. The variety restaurants offered many choices depending on your preferences, the quality of the food and service was great. The staff is very attentive and helpful. The staff and crew are engaging and ...
Incredible service and staff, thoughtful excursions, DELICIOUS onboard food. From the second we got on the ship, to the moment we disembarked, we were treated with white glove service from every staff member we encountered. The range of excursion options would fulfill every single desire a person may have, and the organization at each destination was impressive. The food at the buffet was ...
