Venice to Europe - Western Mediterranean Viking Ocean Viking Star Cruise Reviews

This was to be our 25 year wedding anniversary trip in 2020. Then COVID happened so Viking rescheduled twice and we delayed another year to be back to as close to “normal” no masks or daily testing, as possible. We had a wonderful time. Over the delays we upgraded our room each time so we’re blessed to have Jr suite. It was so nice and comfortable. Our room stewards were fantastic. Having ...

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 ...

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 ...

Cruise dates were at a good time of the year for us. Cruise included stops at desirable locations. Our friends were complimentary on the quality of Viking Cruises. The ship was a perfect size. The dining was very nice and consistent. The service was excellent. The stateroom/ cabin was perfect for us. It had plenty space for us and for all our belongings. It was clean and bright. The king ...

My wife and I wanted to see Italy and this cruise seemed like the perfect fit. It allowed my wife and I to travel from Venice to Rome with several stops in between. We purchased some optional excursions that were truly great, but most the the included excursions were a little unstructured for our liking. Previous experience from an excellent Viking River cruise left us with an expectation that ...

I had never been to Italy or any of the othwr countries we visited. Our precruise stay in Lake Como and Verona was such a pleasure. Our guide was lovely in every way. As well as knowledgeable and spoke English very well. All our food was fabulous. On board the Star we were taken care of royally. Meals were great and service outstanding. If I had to find something to complain about it would be ...

On board crew exceeded ! We enjoyed them more than the passengers- professional, kind and attentive The local tour guides lacked sensitivity to older passengers especially in the Venice airport -speeding through and we stayed to help guide the seniors through the chaotic airport After watching these elders become frustrated we had to step in and help Some guides cut tours short and or ...

We reserved early on a V1 level cabin so that we could indulge in the Tuscan 3 night pre cruise extension, and other non-included excursions. The Tuscan extension was three nights at Villa Il Poggiale near Florence. It was an outstanding experience. Trumpy Tours handled this extension and our other shore excursions in Italy. All were well thought out and executed. The Viking Star is an ...

This cruise on the Viking Star traveled a very interesting route that enabled us to return to Italy and Greece while seeing new locales, especially Croatia, Monaco, southern France, and Spain. Onboard service was uniformly excellent, with a highly competent and attentive staff. The entertainment ranged from very good to superb, with an unusual degree of variety.. A similar range applied to ...

We went on a Viking River Cruise last year and it was fabulous. We wanted to do the Mediterranean so we chose Viking again. Everything about the ship was fabulous. Food, accommodations, experience and entertainment. The only downfall were some of the included tours. They were nothing like the ones we experienced on the river cruise. VERY disappointed. I’m sure the ones you paid for were much ...
