Viking Ocean Viking Star Cruise Reviews for Senior Cruises to Baltic Sea from Stockholm

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 like smaller ships. Viking does a wonderful job. The food was fantastic in all the dining rooms. The crew was excellent, they really catered to all our needs. Our cabin boys, Willy and Tijo were outstanding, couldn’t ask for better. The excursions were great. Viking was great in the timing and picking the right guides for the excursions. The ship was immaculate, always someone ...

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 because our backgrounds are Polish, German, Danish and Irish, so we would be able to visit some of the countries our ancestors came from Embarkation took only about 10 minutes. We enjoyed the port lectures in the theatre giving us an idea of the countries we would visit. Most of the tour guides on the buses were very knowledgeable, and having headsets was a great help in ...
