Venice Romantic Cruises Reviews

I chose this cruise because going to Italy was on my "bucket list" and being of Italian descent, I wanted to see this beautiful country. The Italian Sojourn itinerary allowed me to visit several areas of interest in a short period of time. I was unaware that this was the second leg of a 3-week journey and the third leg, which ends in Barcelona, also visits additional ports in Italy. Had I ...

My husband and I chose this cruise for our honeymoon. We love history and we love activities, we typically can't sit still for too long. We both have never been to Italy or Croatia. We are so glad we chose Viking, it was a great way to see a lot of different cities in a short amount of time. The excursions were easy to book and the guides, drivers and staff were fantastic. Everything was so well ...

We have been on 3 Viking River Cruises and they were fabulous. I had so hoped Viking could recreate this magic on their ocean cruises. I have to say I was slightly disappointed. On the river cruises Viking has thought of every detail, but this does not always translate to the ocean experience. For example, we had 150 people arrive at a small town at the same time. With 4 buses it would have ...

I was planning this cruise for a year, but was back and forth between this and the Grand Mediterranean visiting multiple cities, but was finally convinced Greece was it after multiple adds and pop ups on social media, and quickly became the must see location for 2023...and was so happy I did, this was my first cruise of three as I was doing back to back I'm also happy Explorer was the ship, ...

My husband and I have traveled a lot, but never cruised. We weren't interested in large ships, so our first cruise was on the Wind Surf in May, 2023, Italy and Croatia. In spite of very bad luck with the weather, we loved the experience and are already planning our next Windstar trip. The ship is older and shows signs of wear if you look for it, but that didn't bother us a bit...we loved the ...

Previously to this cruise, all of my ocean cruises had been on “value” and “premium” lines (RCCL, Carnival, NCL, Celebrity, Princess). I chose this Azamara cruise because the prices for a balcony on this 7-day cruise was only $1675 per person and came with an $800 OBC (per cabin), which isn’t much more expensive than those other lines. (For comparison, the cruise the prior week on same ship was ...

This cruise was going to places I was very much wanting to visit. The overall experience was excellent. One issue I have is that I called Viking multiple times to ask about Covid vaccine requirement and was told absolutely we must be vaccinated, it is also on their website. We spent a total of 12 hours driving back and forth to get a NON MRNA vaccine from the company Novavax. When we arrived ...

This was our second Viking cruise, but our first Viking Ocean cruise. We have also gone on several cruises on larger ships with other companies. We certainly enjoy the smaller Viking ships. This itinerary was perfect for us, starting in Venice, with stops in Split, Dubrovnik, Kotor, Corfu, and Olympia, before ending in Athens. Each stop was unique with interesting, informative, and well-organized ...

As far as the food was concerned, I felt I was back at a camp cafeteria even though I always ate in one of their dining rooms. It is a shame that their menus far out did the quality of food. Even the 'special' dining was bad news in the quality of food. I had paid extra for 'Priority Boarding'. There was none provided!! One particular day, I had to line up 2 hours just to disembark from the ...

We chose this cruise because it was very well priced on Vacations to Go and we liked the ports. Trouble was, we didn't leave from Venice but Chioggia. So we had to drag our bags from Marco Polo airport a LONG way to a bus to take us to Chioggia and we had to pay, ourselves, for the bus transfers. Azamara redid their whole computer system in the weeks before we were departing so we could NEVER ...
