Stockholm to Baltic Sea Viking Ocean Viking Star Cruise Reviews

We did the Vikings Homelands cruise on the Viking Star. We were impressed with the excellent food options, the onboard entertainment, and the choices of sidetrips. For us, seeing Swan Lake performed in St Petersburg was the highlight, although just touring The Winter Palace was a close second. There were three dinner restaurants, and the Italian option was our favorite. We consistently found ...

I had heard and read great reviews for Viking. I was interested in the Viking Homelands cruise and I was not disappointed. It was more than I realized. From the time Viking personnel met us at the airport and guided us through the port and then onto the ship, everything went smoothly. The food was great with good variety of menu and venue. The cabin was comfortable for the two of us. All the ...

We booked this cruise in November 2016, primarily for the itinerary and small ship and also took the option of the Iceland pre-cruise extension and looked forward to it for 2 years. It was expensive but having cruised before on upper premium and middle market lines we felt that that the inclusions of wifi, included wines and beer and some tours were worth it. Booking from New Zealand meant we had ...

We wanted to try Viking Ocean and to cruise in the Baltic. It was a great itinerary good excursions. The Viking Star was the best ship we have ever been on, and we are long time Azamara fans. We were a bit concerned as it is a bit larger than the Azamara ships that we liked. But the increased size made it better, larger cabins and public spaces. The ship was right sized for the number of ...

We chose Viking because of it's fine reputation for quality and service. The smaller ship size made the trip more intimate with a relaxed atmosphere free from queueing and crowds. We chose this particular cruise as it had ports in both Karen's and my homelands. So, we had an opportunity to visit our roots. Unfortunately, due to winds???? the Captain cancelled our stop in Gdansk Poland. Being ...

We had been on two Viking River cruises and were extremely impressed. We never had an interest to go on an Ocean cruise until those experiences. We were always disinterested in the larger capacity ships and felt that with Viking's smaller passenger count they could provide the same level of intimacy that we experienced on the River cruises. They did not disappoint!! The ship was beautiful ...

I wanted to see Scandinavian countries and i felt a cruose was a good way to sample many of them. The Viking ship was beautiful, the service perfect, and i felt i had a very magical wonderful experience. I was pleased with th itinerary because it included all the countries i wanted to see. I was on the ship with 3 friends and we shared beautiful meals together, had fun tea time, did the ...

The travel to and from can be tiring but once you are in Vikings hands everything is made easy. This was our second Viking cruise and we were even more impressed this time than last year. We love everything about the ship. I would start my list but I honestly mean everything. The service is beyond excellent as well. The dining choices are wonderful and the food delicious. There is no ...

We chose the VIking Homelands cruise because of the variety of countries (Baltic countries plus add on of Iceland) and time of year fit well with our needs. This was our second Viking cruise (previous was the Grand European two years ago) travelling with my brother and sister in law. The air travel booked for us went smoothly. Embarkation/disembarkation went without a hitch. Amazing with ...

We chose this cruise do to past experience with Viking river cruises and their excellent service. It also had the itinerary we wanted. The ship is only 3 years old and in perfect condition. Really appreciate the free water bottles and included beer and wine at lunch and dinner. Staff spoke excellent English and addressed any needs that came up. Also appreciate the smaller passenger count and very ...
