Stockholm to Europe Viking Ocean Viking Star Cruise Reviews

We are Interested in the Nordic countries and the Baltic. Also Findland, Russia and Poland. Food was very good but the standard white wine (a French Blanchard was not very good). It would have been nice to very the complimentary wines. Service was very good particularly room service. We were disappointed we missed Gdańsk Poland because of weather. Our room steward was excellent. The free ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary and for the Viking reputation. I was somewhat disappointed with the stage entertainment - specifically the the costumes for the women did not fit properly and one of the men in a tuxedo with no socks. The dining room waitstaff was also a disappointment. With all the pomp of presenting the menus in foreign languages, the waitstaff does not serve form ...

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 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 ...

As others have said, this is a beautiful ship. Even with 930 passengers it was always possible to find a quiet and relaxing space to read or just watch the world go by. The service in all areas from restaurants, cabin maintenance and embarkation was excellent. Others have commented that the food wasn't that great; I found it to be very satisfactory - lots of choice and beautifully presented, ...

Cruise was good for the most part but a couple of things could have been handled better. 1.- in Germany I took the 12 hour Berlin tour, 6 hours round trip from ship to Berlin, then a quick 1 hour bus tour around the city and then dropped of in down town for 4 hours on own. This would have been fine if it wasn't Sunday. Apparently it's illegal for stores to open on Sundays in Germany so all ...

This was our first Viking OCEAN cruise and it was a beautiful ship, very easy to navigate. Although we were planning to eat mostly fish, the beef was some of the best we have eaten and stuck to that. The service was good but not great. Viking needs to spend more time training their wait staff. Many times the tables remained dirty. Even when they came by your table they would leave the dirty ...

Great cruise but we were ready to leave after 12 days. last two days were a waste of time. could have spent two more days in st. Petersburg. stavanger and eidfjord were awful time wasters. on two ocean cruises we tried manfredi restaurant three times. no sauces or gravy on different selections which were over cooked or warmed too long. we tried but it was an awful experience ;three out of ...

We have sailed on many Viking River cruises and decided to do a different type of itinerary which could be accomplished only on an ocean cruise. Our experience with Viking led us to take this cruise. We were originally booked on the 5/26/2017 cruise, but due to a computer crash on British Airways we had to cancel and we re-booked for this cruise. We thought we would take the "free air" this time ...

Smooth sailing on the Baltic Sea at this time of year made it extra special for us. I don't do waves. Service was excellent- friendly and courteous. The lunch and breakfast buffet style meals at the world cafe were very good,but there was a problem sometimes getting a seat after going through the line. Not my idea for this class of cruising. Chef's Table was excellent but you aren't able to eat ...
