Venice to Europe - Western Mediterranean Viking Ocean Cruise Reviews

Loved the itinerary. Nice ship. Decent food but not great and lacking variety. Two lobster nights was really nice. Included Excursions were disappointing with average to below average guides. Paid excursions had better guides but really poor planning relative to time. Many excursions returned to the ship as buffet was closing. Others did not allow enough time for shopping and enjoying the ...

We had heard about Viking from several friends. This was our first time and we were blown away. The ship was beautiful, with modern, clean lines, beautiful woods, large windows and comfortable seating. The sweeping windows in the Explorer Lounge were dramatic. Everything was so well thought out. For example, books were located in several places around the ship (rather than in an library) so it was ...

We chose this cruise because we toured Rome, Florence, Tuscany and Venice prior to sailing. This cruise enabled us to see more of southern Italy and relax on the second half of the trip. Food was great, only had one off meal. The steak was chewy but the waiter was more than happy to replace with a different entree. Room service for breakfast every morning was on time, hot and delivered right to ...

We wanted to check out many diffrent countries within 1 cruise. We wanted to see a lot of Italy. The restaurants were all very good.The waiters and bartenders were all accomating and super friendly,ready to please.All the excursions were wonderful!There were a few we could not book but when we got on board we were able to get on them.Same when we wanted some of the restaurants we were able to ...

Have sailed on this same ship on the viking homeland. Such a beautiful ship. My husbands first time on viking & he said he would never travel on any other cruiseline except viking. They are so exceptional. All the restaurants are fabulous & staff can't say enough. We will definitely sail with them again. Love it that no children. Have been on other crusies where parents let their children run ...

River cruise of 2022 was cancelled by us due to low river levels. Transferred to Med cruise that took us from Venice to Barcelona. We were looking for at least 14 days. It was wonderful in all aspects. Viking family was attentive, welcoming and warm. Plenty of adult educational seminars on the ports we visited. Nightly entertainment was superb and with audience participation (if one so wished) ...

This was our first Viking ocean cruise. We've been on a Viking river cruise previously, as well as numerous cruises on other cruise lines. The Viking experience was different than on the larger ships. With 900 passengers, the ship never felt crowded and we had no problem going to different venues and finding seats. The ship is immaculate and very well maintained. The crew are very ...

My husband selected this cruise prior to COVID so it was a long-awaited trip. The whole experience was exceptional! The ship is well-maintained, clean and provides a number of areas to enjoy the trip and the vistas. You don't feel like you are traveling with 900 + other passengers. The service and staff are friendly and meet your every need, without bothering you. We started going to the Living ...

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 ...
