Stockholm to Baltic Sea Cruise Reviews

We both have Baltic roots so this was a homecoming of sorts. Viking offers the right combination of entertainment and educational activities for us. Entertainment was geared toward baby-boomer generation which was fine for us but may not be for everyone. We would have liked more opportunity to dance (i.e., larger venue). We learned a lot from the lectures. The combination of several cities and ...

Wanted to go to the Baltic and liked the itinerary Viking offered. Had been on a Viking River cruise and liked it, so thought we would give the Viking Ocean a try. We were very impressed with the ship and the crew. The included shore excursions were very good. The food was excellent. Viking has brought the same level of service to the ocean that it did for the rivers. I especially liked the ...

Having enjoyed river cruises with Viking before, this was our first Viking Ocean Cruise. Everything about it was absolute quality. The ship was a joy in every way. Staff could not have been more helpful, our stateroom stewards were excellent, the restaurant manager was outstanding, and the entertainment first rate. I honestly can't think of anything negative to say. The scenery was breathtaking, ...

This was our first trip with Seabourn and will be our last. Our previous cruises have all been with Cunard in its Grills Suites. Cunard has bigger ships so more people but has immeasurably better staff and food. The food on the Ovation was boring and bland. The dress code is not policed and many evenings gentlemen turned up to dinner in polo shirts. The shore excursions were expensive and ...

We chose this cruise because, during a previous World Journey cruise, we were told that the Baltics was where we should go next. We have found that, even though we think we are well traveled, those we spoke with on that cruise made us feel we never left our state. The reason that we keep coming back to the Azamara Journey is because of the intimacy of the experience. The crew continues to ...

Booked this well in advance and decided to upgrade to a balcony premium room as also taking teenager with us. Given the reviews of Magica and Costa (read them after booking...) I was concerned that we may regret choosing this - but the itinery was fab and we have been on a couple of cruises before in eastern med with Royal Caribbean - so checked re package and location of cabin carefully - got a ...

This was a 10-day Baltic cruise from Stockholm to Copenhagen. It was our 4th Oceania cruise and first on Marina. We are a couple in our mid-60's which put us in the median age range on this cruise. As many people younger than us as older. Embarkation was smooth and quick. After lunch in the Terrace Cafe, our cabin was ready at 1:00. Our steward quickly introduced himself. We had very good ...

Just a quick review of the Oceania Marina Scandinavian Ballads 10 day cruise: While we have been on over 30 cruises, this was our first on Oceania. All in all, it truly exceeded our expectations due to the extraordinary food and overall service. The food is by far the best we have had on a cruise and due to that fact, we will definitely cruise Oceania again. The service and attentiveness ...

This ship is beautiful and always spotless.We have been on about 95 cruises, many different cruise lines and ships .I usually do not write reviews, but after reading a scathing review by someone who was on this ship for 3 months in Feb. 2019, I felt a few points should be mentioned. This person complained about everything, especially the staff, we had some issues but, we ALWAYS treat people with ...

We chose this cruise (Viking Homelands) because it offered us the opportunity to visit each of the Scandinavian countries and St. Petersburg. We arrived two days early to have extra time to explore Stockholm - we could have used more time to do it justice! Note that we did this on our own, not through Viking. It was much less expensive and we stayed at the same hotel. It was a quick 5 minute ...
