"When we were advised of the itinerary change due to the war in Ukraine we had a long discussion regarding whether we still took the cruise or rebooked - our reason for booking was St Petersburg as neither of us had visited Russia.It was some years since either of us had cruised but the overall Viking experience was exceptional and far exceeded anything we had experienced cruising before...."Read More

We have long planned to travel to the Scandinavian countries and Viking gave us a two week dream come true . We were wowed every day of site seeing! The tours and guides were outstanding! The sites we saw were amazing- One beautiful site after another. The touring could not have been any better! The food on board was wonderful! The selections of "destination" meals were always delicious! We ...
I choose Viking because I wanted to treat myself to a great vacation and I wanted to be pampered. Mission accomplished. Viking took care of me. They fed me delicious meals and entertained me. Viking had great excursions and guides to help me explore new cultures and countries. Their spa, on the ship, soothed my muscles and gave me relaxation. Just being on the ship was a vacation. I enjoyed ...
This was our first Viking Cruise. We did the Viking Homelands with the pre-cruise extension in Iceland. From the minute we got off the plane in Reykjavik to the time we got on the plane for the return flight, everything was flawless. There was more than adequate help for the excursions and the housekeeping, dining, and other staff members were helpful and courteous. I would say it was one of ...
We knew Viking does a wonderful job of cruising and we wanted to see a part of the world we had not seen before. We were not disappointed! The Scandinavian countries all lived up to our expectations! The scenery is gorgeous and the history is interesting. Karlskrona, Sweden, was a surprising treasure; Copenhagen was charming; Eidfjord, Norway, was stunning! We were amazed at the bridge over the ...
We had originally book on a cruise to the Amazon, but that was cancelled due to COVID. When cruising opened up again, we used the credit Viking gave us and chose the Viking Homelands cruise. My ancestors were from Norway and Sweden, and I enjoyed a previous trip there. We also wanted to see Iceland.
We had taken a Viking River cruise about 6 years ago and enjoyed it but weren't sure how we ...
The Baltic is beautiful in the summer and a perfect time to visit Scandinavia. We went to places we had only read about and were not at all disappointed in the beauty, history, and scope of what we saw. We were especially excited about visiting the Norwegian fjords. They were majestic and magnificent to say the least. We could not believe that a ship the size of the Star could sail right in ...
Thoroughly enjoyed this Viking ocean cruise. Enjoyed all the beautiful ports though cool, cloudy and sometimes raining!! Though was 80* in Berlin the day we were there-thought it was such a long day-with 4 hour train ride there and back. Can’t say Ihave a favorite port because they were all unique and beautiful. The cruise path was well thought out and length of time for the whole cruise was just ...
I chose this cruise because of the St. Petersburg stop, which, of course, was cancelled because of the war in Ukraine. I had booked this cruise on Crystal for 2020. It was postponed to 2021 and then 2022. Crystal went bankrupt in January 2022. Having been on Viking on the Yangtze River Cruise, we thought we would try Viking on the same itinerary. This time we were on a Viking vessel (as opposed to ...
Originally, we choose the cruise to visit Moscow, St Petersburg and Tallin but decided to go ahead with the revised itinerary to Berlin and Gdańsk.
Arrival at the airport (Stockholm) was handled very well. We were met at the airport and our suitcases had already been collected. We were escorted to our private transfer and provided with towels and water. Embarkation through security and ...
We had this cruise booked from back in mid 2020 to celebrate my wife's retirement in 2022. When we were advised of the itinerary change due to the war in Ukraine we had a long discussion regarding whether we still took the cruise or rebooked - our reason for booking was St Petersburg as neither of us had visited Russia. We made the decision to go ahead with the revised "Scenic Scandinavia" ...
