Stockholm Viking Ocean Viking Star Cruise Reviews

We originally did this cruise in 2015, but the transformer on one of the engines blew, leaving us stranded for 6 days in Tallinn. Viking pulled through and provided us with wonderful excursions while in Tallinn, then flew us to Bergen where we were settled in a hotel, and were taken on excursions in that area. They also refunded our cruise price, which allowed us to have a do-over to see ...

Amazing Itinerary. 6 countries. Very relaxing with extraordinary scenery. The small town of Eidfjord, Norway was stunning. I would highly recommend this cruise. The food was good and plentiful. 24 hour room service. Beautiful public seating area. The spa and thermal suite pool as well as snow room was a real treat. The Viking crew did a perfect job of getting everyone on and off the ship ...

The ship, The food, and the crew were all excellent. This was one of if not the best cruise ships I have been on. The fact that there were no children, no casinos, no annoying photographers wanting to take your picture and no fake formal nights was truly relaxing. The only down side to this cruise was the crowds of people off the ship. Most of the stops were big cities with multiple ships in port ...

The Viking Ocean cruise on the STAR from Stockholm to Bergen was fantastic. All of the excursions were great except the one in Helsinki which was bland and boring. Our St Petersburg tour guide (Maria) was very good. She was born, raised and educated (chemistry teacher) in St Petersburg and knows her history and politics. The food on-board the Star was very good, we like the variety. Our ...

We chose Viking because of the locations of this cruise and the opportunity to visit multiple countries without having to pack and unpack. The location, weather at the time of the year was absolutely perfect. The excursions were enriching and enjoyable. We had wanted to visit the Scandinavian countries and Russia and this gave us this opportunity. Viking has such good advertisements on PBS; ...

This was our 5th cruise, 3rd with Viking. This was the best boat we've been on, but Viking continues to be plagued with problems. Embarkation was very smooth, as was disembarkation when we finished. Dining: It was extremely difficult to make restaurant reservations ahead of the cruise, with a limit of 1 reservation per restaurant. That didn't get any better when we boarded...one of the staff ...

Based on recommendation of a friend. The experience exceeded our expectations. The service was impeccable. The ship was immaculate. The shore excursions were fascinating. The service person assigned to our cabin was fantastic - always a smile on his face to greet us each morning, and he (Kamal) took wonderful care of us. Our cabin had a wonderful veranda where we could sit and watch the ...

Liked the itinerary. Wanted to try a Viking Ocean cruise. Enjoyed the dining experiences most, but were surprised at how much we enjoyed the variety of music during cocktail hour and after dinner. The ABBA tribute was great. Cabin was first-rate and the service was constant and appreciated. We paid special notice to the staff on our on-board ratings. All were superb. Some shore excursions were ...

Arrived in Stockholm 3 days before the Cruise, and enjoyed our self arranged tours of the City based in a very nice, centrally located hotel. The cruise met our expectations (based on previous wonderful River Cruises with Viking plus), but was a very busy cruise with excursions scheduled for every morning except one (which turned into two when we couldn't dock in Gdansk due to Winds). The ...

I chose this cruise for the ports of call. Denmark, Sweden, Finland , Norway, Estonia, Russia and Poland. I realized it was a little more than the other cruise lines but I was intrigued by the "Viking" ocean cruises. I have cruised on Holland, America, Renaissance, Uniworld and Celbrity so I am no stranger to cruising. First of all there are NO extras! You have a free excursion in each port, but ...
