Stockholm Luxury Cruises Reviews

We arrived in Stockholm but Lufthansa lost our 2 checked bags. Reminded why we rarely check. Fortunately we had most of our things in carry on. While inquiring about bags we missed our bus to ship. Silversea provided us a car and driver. While no fault of ship- they provided quick turn around on laundry- much appreciated. Bags happily arrived in Tallin. We have been on several river cruises is ...

We wanted a short cruise that would allow us to visit St. Petersburg at some length, and allow us to spend significant land time in the two most interesting Scandinavian cities, Stockholm and Copenhagen. This cruise was for 7 nights, with three of them in St. Pete. And, it departed from Stockholm and disembarked in Copenhagen. Because we are quite old, and it is painful for us to keep up ...

We chose this cruise for the reputation of Silversea for luxury and service, and went with their top-of-Line Owners Suite. The suite was was indeed roomy and beautiful but unfortunately it was very unwisely located directly underneath the pool deck. Especially bad were certain times during the day when the crew must have rearranged the chairs on deck. It was close to impossible to be inside our ...

Overall the trip was pretty wonderful. My unfortunate experience in the infirmary (see below) marred an otherwise terrific voyage. We mainly dined in the buffet area, which we found to be very good or excellent with plenty of variety, helpful/attentive staff and the some of best desserts we've ever tasted. So a special nod of appreciation to the dessert chef(s) and helpers. The ship in ...

We chose this cruise because we hoped it would be more luxurious, being the highest quality line that Royal Caribbean became but it was not. I would describe this as better than Celebrity (also RC) but not on par with Seaborne or other similar ships. The food was decent. The speciality restaurants were not worth the money. The best place we ate was the Patio which was outside. A small ...

We chose Oceania because of its reputation, and the smaller size of ship which allowed a more port-intensive cruise (No "at-sea" days in the Baltic). We spent more money than we normally would and booked Oceania Suite 11080 - about 1,000 square feet at the back of the ship, with a wraparound balcony. It was our first Oceania cruise after 3 Celebrity cruises + 3 river cruises (2 with Viking ...

Will not cover all areas of excellence, as they are too numerous to mention, and have been thoroughly reviewed by fellow passengers. One area which I did not see mentioned was security. My husband and I were quite impressed with the diligence of the security staff. This is often an area which we feel has been neglected on other ships. Not on Viking Sky — well done! Another area which earns high ...

We selected the Viking Homelands cruise because of the Baltic countries we wanted to visit.The ship is beautiful and exceptionally clean. Embarkation excellent and was on ship about 12:00 noon. Announced all cabins available about 1:30. Although we were in a veranda cabin, we ate in Manfredi's three times and twice at Chef's Table. Food was excellent in all dining venues. Didn't buy drink ...

This was a cruise to celebrate my Mother's 80th Birthday. Everything about the ship, staff, activities and food was top-notch. The cabins are spacious and very well thought-out. Every cabin has a veranda. The Cabin stewards are attentive and thoughtful. The food was delicious, varied and plentiful. We especially loved the afternoon tea. the ship is so well thought out that you never feel as ...

We have previously done river cruises with Viking and was quite impressed by the organisation and the facilities. Viking Sky did not disappoint. The ship is beautiful and the staff were excellent. Very personable and efficient. The food was varied and prepared and presented beautifully. Passengers can ask for small serves or, if wanted, double serves although the standard serve was more than ...
