Only 1 Day at Sea

We chose this cruise because it was a 16 day cruise with only 1 full day at sea. There was a wide-range of excursions, however, most of the included ones required very little activity, so we did choose several more active options, bike rides, zodiac boats and hikes. As first time Viking cruisers we were not as prepared as we needed to be for dinners, as you could not wear jeans (not matter how ...

Loved the ship, the itinerary, the staff, the stateroom but did not like the fellow passengers. They were old, rude, selfish, and slow. For the money we paid we should have not felt judged - but since we were one of the youngest couples celebrating our 25 year anniversary- we were given the side eye most of the cruise - we made the most of it but the entertainment and pace and flow of the cruise ...

We chose to cruise with Viking because friends and relatives had raved about their cruises with the company. It was excellent advice! We decided to go on the Viking Homelands cruise because I had always wanted to visit Scandinavia, and this cruise had shore excursions in Sweden, the Aland Islands of Finland, Denmark, and Norway, so it fit what I was looking for. I could not have been happier that ...

We had been on several Viking river cruises as well as other long boat river cruises. We enjoy the Viking experience of wonderful, cheerful & polite staff, clean modern rooms, excellent buffets and included daily excursions. On board lectures were thought provoking. We also took in paid excursions each day and a special "Kitchen Table" experience with the executive chef. We walked with the chef ...

Our Covid-postponed Scandinavian Cruise.... We were finally able to take our Viking Homelands cruise in September 2022.

We chose this cruise in order to visit the home of my maternal ancestors (Norway...specifically Stavanger!). Part of our original itinerary was changed because of the war in Ukraine but Viking made up for it with more time in Denmark and Norway. If we would do this again, we would be sure to extend our trip with more time in Stockholm at the beginning. Our time there was way too short! ...

We were actually booked on the maiden voyage of the Polars from the Artic to Antarctic. The cruise was canceled due to the ship not being ready in time. We had the timeframe carved out so we looked for an alternative itinerary. The Viking Venus with the Iceland extension fit the timeframe. As with all Viking ships, the staff was extraordinary. We especially enjoyed our captain who was a ...

We chose this cruise because we have Finnish heritage. Unfortunately, because of the Ukraine war with Russia, Russia and Finland were removed from the itinerary. Bornholm was added, but was also removed, ostensibly because of bad weather (or pipeline sabotage)? Sweden, Poland, Germany, and Norway were lovely and clean. We were happy to see the use of clean energy, high level of recycling, ...

My wife and I had a beautiful cruise on the Viking Venus. Since the cruise was not at capacity, I felt like we were treated like royalty. Everything was great, no complaints. Our meals and the entertainment were excellent. Our room steward did a fantastic job and was always on time for the spit collection. There were plenty of spots on the ship for filling quiet time. The Viking provided ...

This was our first time cruising the Baltic Sea. The Covid precautions were excellent with daily testing which was easy to undertake and not inconvenient. Service onboard was of very high standard. Food quality very good in all areas of the ship. Lovely spa and gym. We were able to play both table tennis and mini golf on board. We went on the included excursions and paid for the one to Berlin ...

Because of the world political situation the cruise itinerary had to be altered omitting St. Petersburg and Tallinn. But other delightful ports were substituted resulting in a wonderful experience. The meals were excellent in all of the venues. Cocktails in the Explorers' Lounge before dinner with entertainment by Zeus and views over the ship's bow was a pleasure. The entertainment in the ...
