Sydney (Australia) to the South Pacific Cruise Reviews

Boarded in Sydney and with the VeriFLY app in hand we were onboard in 15 minutes. Our suite was ready and we dropped off our carry on bags and headed to the Lido. We had a signature suite which we received via an upgrade offer. We had booked a veranda cabin, and the upgrade offer to a suite was too good of a deal to pass up. Overall we enjoyed the ship and the 25 day sailing. We had 2 very ...

The main focus of this trip was to visit relatives in New Zealand and Australia. After spending a month travelling around the 2 countries we decided to board the Noordam to sail back to Vancouver. We found the ship very clean and well maintained. The cabin was adequate with a great balcony. There was an issue with the air conditioning in our stateroom which took 3 days to fix but we were ...

We love Celebrity ships, always in Aqua class so we can dine in blu, always first class food and service, staff seems to have been given extra training in allergies, my wife has coeliac disease and staff were very good at keeping her safe from Gluten As with all my reviews I like to keep things real and report on some big negatives on the cruise. At the wonderful sunset bar there is no no ...

We chose this eleven night cruise as it suited two key elements, the first being it matced up with our vacation time and secondly it departed and returned from our home port Sydney Australia. This was our first cruise since December 2019, so we were really looking forward to getting back to shipboard life. Embarkation was very easy and smooth we had all the required documentation on hand ...

I wanted to cross the Pacific Ocean, and this was a wonderful way to do it! The ship was only 1/3 full most of the way, so it was very laid back and relaxed, with plenty of room and no queues for anything. The food was great - even the buffet was better than I was expecting. The main dining room meals were beautiful, and the specialty dining meals in the Crown Grill were also good, but not a ...

We went on this cruise to celebrate a friends special birthday. Unfortunately I was stuck down with a case of Food Poisoning on the first day after lunch so spent my time in the cabin ill. I contacted the medical centre onboard but was very quickly shut down and hung up on (care factor zero) . Very poor form from the medical staff and failing to even ask any questions. This was documented to the ...

Thank you to p n o for the best holiday. Had the best time, the show the entertainment never a dole moment. Always some thing to do. Love the cocktail. The restaurant were amazing the service was outstanding. There was only one thing the table for couples was to close. A big big thank you to our room Stewart Mushaf. You went above and beyond not just cleaning our room, you were helpful with ...

We picked this cruise for the itinerary, never having sailed with Viking. Previously, we have primarily cruised on Celebrity, so most comparisons will be with our previous Celebrity experience. The ship is nice, very clean, design wise almost sterile (who calls a restaurant “The Restaurant”) with several spaces under-utilized, like the Wintergarden. Staff were generally accommodating and ...

Sydney to Bangkok: Chose this one for The Great Barrier Reef in Australia, and a re-visit to Bangkok. The ship was beautiful, the staff the best of the 25 cruises I've been on, but the upper level excursion staff were extremely rude. This is second Viking Ocean and both have had same issues. The excursions are not vetted properly and they don't give you much information until the night prior, at ...

We were looking for something out of the ordinary, and this adventure did not disappoint. We enjoyed exploring Sydney and riding the public ferries to the local beaches,, seeing kangaroos in the wild during our Hunter Valley wine tasting, snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef, witnessing Komodo Dragons in their natural environment, and relaxing in a luxurious Bali resort.
