Rome (Civitavecchia) to the Mediterranean Viking Ocean Viking Sea Cruise Reviews

We decided on this cruise because we wanted to spend a few days in Rome before the cruise. Having time to visit the Vatican, the Colosseum and other wonderful sites in Rome was priceless. And Viking employees were at the hotel to answer any questions we had. On the ship, employees were friendly, helpful and ready to do whatever they could for your comfort. The ship is beautiful with plenty of ...

We heard about this cruise from relatives who had taken this last year. All members of the crew are very helpful and friendly. It was nice to have met many fellow Filipinos among them and to know that the chief cook and members of the band are Filipinos. The shore excursions are very interesting and the daily briefing by the cruise director and his assistant are quite remarkable. Their ...

For our initial trip to Europe, we wanted a “ First Class” sampler platter. The hope was to visit several different countries without having to change hotels for each location. We figured after “the sampler” we could plan to return to any particular area we desire. We have previously cruised several times in the Caribbean. The previous cruises were all nice, but we determined we did not need ...

We chose this cruise because we wanted to see certain cities such as Rome, Pisa, Florence and Barcelona. We were not disappointed , but wished we could have spent more time in those cities. As always, the service of the entire crew was outstanding - warm, friendly and attentive to every detail. We did not get to meet the captain who was detained by official duties. David, the activities director, ...

This was a chance to travel with my wife and her sister. The ship was very nice and it was easy access to everything. They had great areas to relax and read, visit, or knit (in my wife's case) It had great venues for meals and all the food was fantastic. But with three of us, dinner reservations could not be made until we got aboard the ship - a slight inconvenience. The cruise had very ...

As a retiree, I'm trying to check off "places to go" from my bucket list! This cruise was an awesome way to begin! Wonderful cruise ship, crew, entertainment and shore excursions! I I met other guests that led to friendships that continued after our disembarkation in Barcelona. Every aspect of the cruise was a remedy to relaxation, information and enjoyment. The food was varied, delicious and ...

This is the second week of a 2 week cruise. We didn't realize until we got onboard there were 2 back to back cruises. One from Barcelona to Rome, and Rome to Barcelona. We did both. I already have a review of the first leg. I thought the stop in Sardinia was a waste. We spent all night getting there and then only had 4 hours on the island. Not much to see there. I liked Tunis the best. We were ...

We booked .this cruise for the itinerary. Malta, Algeria, Tunisia and Spain. Accomodations were spacious & comfortable. Plentiful storage space in the cabin. Mini bar was refilled on a daily basis. Water pressure in bathrooms just what was need. First class toiletries were provided and replenished daily. Food was delicious, varied and plentiful. buffet usually has the same menu as dining ...

This was my spouse and my second cruise aboard the Viking Sea in four months. We had such a wonderful time on the first cruise, we couldn't resist the promotion to take another. The Viking Sea is like a luxurious boutique hotel on the ocean. The ship's common areas are numerous and unmatched by any I've seen. The staterooms are nicely appointed and comfortable, with heated floors in the spacious ...

This was my first cruise. I chose it primarily because it stopped at cities I wanted to see, but the ship itself and the crew made it extra memorable. My husband and I are 55-65 and in decent health/mobility but not active athletes. I had been to Barcelona in 1968 and wanted to see it again, so we booked a few extra days to explore. Our hotel was near the Ramblas and the Ciudad Market which were ...
