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 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 ...
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 ...
The itinerary is what interested us the most. We had done 2 river cruises with Viking before and felt confident that they have an excellent product. The itinerary was excellent as were the programming aspects of this cruise. The boat was immaculate and the service was beyond expectations. At times, the excursions could get crowded -- same with the port with a combination of boats -- but Viking ...
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 had wanted to visit the countries around the Baltic Sea and this particular cruise itinerary suited our preferences. We had previously taken a Viking river cruise so knew that we would be pleased with the Viking ocean cruise. Everything about the cruise met our expectations and we look forward to another booking with Viking.
The cities/towns/ports visited were very interesting and there is ...
This cruise: The Viking Homeland's offered many ports of call throughout Northern Europe. My husband and I have always wanted to visit this area. It was our opinion, THIS cruise must be among the most popular for all cruise lines as was witnessed by the large number of cruise/passenger ships we saw at sea and in ports. The experiences we encountered both on board ship and shore ...
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 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 ...
