Stockholm to Baltic Sea Cruise Reviews

Always wanted to see Scandinavia. Grandfather was born in Oslo, Norway. Overall the cruise was non-stop luxury and interesting activities. My wife and I signed up for several of the included excursions and also paid for several special excursions that put us in close contact with the locals. Visit to a Norwegian Farm, and Waffle and Coffee at a Norwegian home were two of the best excursions we ...

We chose this cruise at relatively short notice when we had to unexpectedly cancel our originally planned July 2022 Viking cruise. Nevertheless, this was great first-time experience. The crew/staff was excellent and took care of us every step of the way. We had a very comfortable cabin (other than a hard and uneven bed) and our cabin attendants were outstanding. Overall dining was very good ...

We had heard wonderful things from friends about Viking cruises and after much deliberation, decided we would experience it first hand. We decided on an ocean cruise as this is what we have been used to doing on different cruise lines in the past. Could there possibly be that much of a difference? The answer is YES! From the moment we landed at the airport to the moment we were escorted back to ...

The Viking Jupiter was an amazing experience. There was so much to do and the crew was incredible about making you feel at home and comfortable. The educational programs were interesting and very informative. The entertainment was top notch and very enjoyable. The performers were excellent! We had fun dancing under the stars one night with exceptional music and lively performers who had you up ...

We chose this cruise to get a better feeling for Scandinavia. We were disappointed that our time in Oslo was reduced and Gothenburg was introduced. We wished there were fewer ports and more time in the ports. We felt the included tours were very rushed and often difficult for anyone older or mobility challenged. Viking used to offer an easy level. As always the food on the ship and the ...

This was our third Viking cruise and we love the ships and especially the crews. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Food was very good in all the dining venues. Manfredi's speciality Italian was our favorite place to dine. The World Cafe is a buffet syle dining area that has all the same food as the formal dining area and usually has some really nice extras like king crab and shrimp. The Restaurant ...

We chose this cruise in order to visit the home of my maternal ancestors (Norway...specifically Stavanger!). Part of our original itinerary was changed because of the war in Ukraine but Viking made up for it with more time in Denmark and Norway. If we would do this again, we would be sure to extend our trip with more time in Stockholm at the beginning. Our time there was way too short! ...

We were actually booked on the maiden voyage of the Polars from the Artic to Antarctic. The cruise was canceled due to the ship not being ready in time. We had the timeframe carved out so we looked for an alternative itinerary. The Viking Venus with the Iceland extension fit the timeframe. As with all Viking ships, the staff was extraordinary. We especially enjoyed our captain who was a ...

We chose this cruise because we have Finnish heritage. Unfortunately, because of the Ukraine war with Russia, Russia and Finland were removed from the itinerary. Bornholm was added, but was also removed, ostensibly because of bad weather (or pipeline sabotage)? Sweden, Poland, Germany, and Norway were lovely and clean. We were happy to see the use of clean energy, high level of recycling, ...

We had been on several Viking river cruises as well as other long boat river cruises. We enjoy the Viking experience of wonderful, cheerful & polite staff, clean modern rooms, excellent buffets and included daily excursions. On board lectures were thought provoking. We also took in paid excursions each day and a special "Kitchen Table" experience with the executive chef. We walked with the chef ...
