We have enjoyed 37 cruises, but this was our first time on Silversea. We were eager to test drive, and there were no disappointments. The stand-out was the food, quality and variety. We kept telling ourselves, "This is NOT cruise ship food." It was more like going to a very good restaurant on land. Inventive quality cooking. Also great were all the bars (and there are a lot of them!) and the ...
Extra time sailing plus Viking's great line-up of shore excursions was a perfect combination for us. Sailing days allowed us to fully explore the onboard amenities of Viking Jupiter, where staff, enrichment lectures, dining and entertainment were outstanding and varied. Port days included a wide range of excursions with knowledgeable guides who provided eye-opening insights into local ...
This was our 3rd Viking Ocean Cruise and it was fantastic. We found the food in all eateries to be excellent, the staff were very friendly and helpful, the theatre shows were really good and the historians/lectures were most enjoyable.
We were lucky with a very smooth crossing and excellent daily updates from the captain at noon regarding sea depth, speed, conditions etc.
Our DV2 cabin was ...
Viking does cruises like no other. From the moment we received our documents we knew we were in good hands. We have over 25 cruises and Viking is by far the leader in the field. Our ship The Viking Jupiter is well designed and staffed with a truly professional team. The Jupiter is stylish in every way and well designed with elegance and comfort in mind. We stayed in stateroom 50** and it was ...
This was my husband's and my first cruise with RSSC and we had high expectations - and let me state this first: they were met in most fields.
When we arrived at CPT airport the port agent wasn't informed of the number of people arriving. Therefore, we had to share a minibus with every seat taken and, although it had a luggage trailer behind it, I had to take my carry-on suitcase on my knees ...
This cruise was a bucket list for my DH, as I prefer ports and warmer weather. He had hopes of all things British and the ship did not disappoint. He enjoyed high tea and great conversations with our fellow passengers, many who were from the UK. I enjoyed it as well, especially the Cunard Insight's talks. One speaker was a Forensic Medical Examiner and he was fantastic! Every day, there was a ...
We chose this cruise because we wanted a transatlantic crossing on a luxury liner to enjoy sea days and world class ports. The cruise exceeded all of our expectations. We were in a Penthouse Veranda and had ample space to relax, and even to invite new friends over for a cocktail. The beds were comfortable and the room and bathroom were immaculate. We loved the large bathroom, with heated floor, ...
It was a gift.
Every aspect of the cruise was fantastic. The officers were friendly, professional, competent and committed to passenger needs, comfort, & safety, Crew were unfailingly polite, friendly, anf responsive to passenger requests.
The ship is fantastic, with more than ample public spaces. Impeccably decorated and at the same time functional.
Meals were first rate - in fact, ...
We had previously sailed on 3 Viking river cruises. Our next-door neighbor told us that Viking ocean cruises were the tops in luxury, so we thought we'd take make our first ocean cruise a big one.
Thank goodness we purchased the Viking Air as a hurricane was hitting Florida on the day we were supposed to fly out with a connecting flight in Miami. Viking took the initiative and rerouted us ...
Reports of QM2’s demise are very premature. It’s not tatty, it’s not falling apart. An odd bit of rust, but the interior looks stunning and in good nick.
Sailed Queens Grill so comments may not apply to other cabins. Cabin was lovely. I think PG cabin would be fine next time. The butler and his assistant were fantastic, as was the standard of service everywhere (May be a touch slow in the ...
