San Juan to the Panama Canal & Central America Cruise Reviews

We wanted a smaller ship for a less crowded experience and Viking came highly recommended. The itinerary included several places on our travel bucket list. We really enjoyed the on-board experience. Meals at the main dining room and the specialty restaurants were excellent and service was always friendly and attentive. The public spaces onboard the ship were lovely and very comfortable. The ...

We chose this cruise because we thought it would be an upgrade from Princess and Celebrity. Over 25 cruises on 10 different lines. This had the worst mattress and the best bathroom. Your included excursion is picked by viking. Your choice is to go on what Viking wants you to go on or pay for any of the other excursions. The entertainment was not up to the complicated entertainment you ...

My wife and I chose this cruise because, while we had been on several Viking river cruises, we had never been on on of their ocean cruises. This cruise took us to parts of the Caribbean that we had not seen before. As usual, the Viking staff was excellent. All of the restaurants were excellent. The main dining area was divided into small seating areas which was different from any cruise ...

My wife and I were really concerned. We loved cruising. This was our annual trip that served as our winter getaway, even though Tennessee weather is not all that harsh. Friends had found an interesting voyage and invited us along. We had heard of Viking (River and Ocean) but had never sailed with them. We have sailed on several others. Princess had become our favorite, and we had reached ...

This is my second time on the Viking Sea. There is so much to like- the small size, the Scandinavian design, the food, the inclusiveness of the rate, and even the heated bathroom floor. The ship is exceptionally well maintained. On this past cruise we are treated to great vocal entertainment, an excellent cruise director (female!), and a great itinerary including two stops in Columbia. The ...

We sailed on the Viking Sea in February, on the South America & the Caribbean cruise. This was our first time on a Viking Ocean cruise. We took their Waterways of the Czars cruise in 2016 and enjoyed that so much that we booked this cruise, due to its itinerary. It did not disappoint. Getting on Board with our luggage: The cruise embarkation was very easy. However, that is because we put our ...

We went on this particular cruise because friends wanted to go. We also wanted to try Viking Ocean since we like Viking River cruises. The ship was beautiful and the service was very good. The stateroom was very nice and the bathroom was the best I’ve had on any ship. Very good entertainment and shore excursions. The only problems we had on shore excursions was some other passengers who were not ...

Have been on eight Viking cruises. Five river and three ocean but we prefer the river cruises. However, Viking has raised the prices to the point where we are doing other types of travel. Someday we hope to get back to Viking river cruises. Did not particularly care for Columbia. Since we had already visited half of the ports this cruise was probably a waste of our time and money. Would be ...

This was our third sailing on the Viking Sea, and my wife and I have become very fond of this spectacularly beautiful, well-designed, and immaculately-maintained ship! The staterooms are setup just right to accommodate our needs, the public spaces are excellent and abundant, and the crew seem uniformly happy and eager to please. The food and entertainment are very good, and the other amenities ...

We love Viking cruises and this one looked interesting. The island visits were really good and the included excursions were excellent. I can't say enough about the crew. Everything was very clean and the food was delicious. I would like to have a little more entertainment in the evenings after dinner but what they offered was quite entertaining. A young group formed just prior to sailing and ...
