Viking Ocean Stockholm Cruise Reviews

We chose to cruise with Viking because friends and relatives had raved about their cruises with the company. It was excellent advice! We decided to go on the Viking Homelands cruise because I had always wanted to visit Scandinavia, and this cruise had shore excursions in Sweden, the Aland Islands of Finland, Denmark, and Norway, so it fit what I was looking for. I could not have been happier that ...

We chose this cruise because it was a 16 day cruise with only 1 full day at sea. There was a wide-range of excursions, however, most of the included ones required very little activity, so we did choose several more active options, bike rides, zodiac boats and hikes. As first time Viking cruisers we were not as prepared as we needed to be for dinners, as you could not wear jeans (not matter how ...

We were invited to join friends on this cruise. It was our first Viking cruise; their third. It was wonderful! The staff was superb! The one downfall was the excursion in Berlin. Our choice was “Berlin Your Way” and Checkpoint Charlie”. This was not done well, and was not the caliber of Viking. It was unorganized once we got to Berlin, and remained that way the entire day. The cost of Checkpoint ...

I chose this cruise to learn about Scandinavia through the convenience and luxury of a cruise. Service on the Mars was excellent ; our room was always spotless, and restaurant servers were very attentive. I appreciated the way Viking smoothly handled the transfers to and from the airport, that saved a lot of stress. The dining was very good with enough options to keep things interesting. We ...

We always wanted to visit the Scandinavian countries. We had trip planned before Covid shut everything down. All the stops were very interesting but our favorites were Stockholm and Oslo. We loved everything about Norway except the rain. Actually that wasn’t all that bad. Service on Viking was excellent and the tours were all great. The staff on the ship could not have been better. We’ve been on ...

I did the Viking Homelands cruise with a pre-extension in Stockholm and a post-extension in Iceland. The Viking Mars was a beautiful ship with caring staff and wonderful food. The onboard experience was excellent with guest lecturers and informative port talks. The onboard entertainment was very good too. Viking is an all adults cruise line. My cabin was on deck 3 and was very comfortable. The ...

Having dreamed of the Viking Homelands cruise for years, we finally had a chance to book after the Covid pandemic was under control. We found no disappointment in the changed itinerary due to the multiple offerings in the cities we visited. Malbork Castle, in Gdansk, was especially impressive due to the rich history involved. We were able to arrange that at the last minute due to extraordinary ...

We chose this cruise to be able to visit the countries it consisted of. We thoroughly enjoyed each country and city. The staff of Viking cruise were unbelievable in service and attitude and atmosphere. Cabins were well tended to. Wait staff was excellent and the rest areas and gym area was well maintained and clean. Common areas always had team members ready to assist or simply greet guests. From ...

This was an unexpected cruise destination. We had friends going on this voyage and we joined. We are so happy we did. It was outstanding!!!! We added 5 days ahead to Stockholm and leisurely explored the city. On Monday when we boarded the ship, we were greeted with champagne and shown our gathering location should we need to evacuate. Once all that was done, we settled into our room and went ...

We had dreamed of seeing Iceland but many trips are only to the capital. So this was appealing to visit multiple coastal cities. Our room was spacious and the service was excellent. When there was a very low percentage of stomach virus cases, they were immediately isolated and treated by the ship medical team, and safety features were implemented to provide washing and sanitizing stations ...
