Venice Viking Ocean Viking Star Cruise Reviews

Second time with Viking, first time on one of their ocean cruises. We were part of a group of 22 that go on a "big trip" every two years. After a successful 15-day Viking river cruise, we decided to do a Viking ocean cruise in an area that most of us had never been. We started in Venice, had four stops down the Ionian Coast ending with various stops in Greece. Dining was really nice. ...

Had done Viking River Cruise in past and service and venue was excellent so decided to do a Viking Ocean Cruise. Embarkation to Disembarkation went smoothly and same quality as the river cruise with Viking. They set up pre-extension and post-extension and was excellent with excellent service, accommodations were very good.The pre-extension guide was superb. During the cruise itself, food was ...

To celebrate our 30th anniversary, we chose the Viking Empires of the Mediterranean cruise and it was indeed fantastic. The Viking ship is beautiful and never feels crowded! The service is impeccable, the stewards are incredibly accommodating and personable, and the entire staff is to notch. The lounge areas are great, especially the Explorers lounge at the front of ship where we watched many a ...

Began with 2 pre cruise days in Venice and finished with two extra days in Barcelona. The whole experience was terrific. From meeting our cabin steward on day one right though to saying our goodbyes as we left the ship. Viking have a great product. The ships are spacious and stylish. There are plenty of places to eat on board and no formal dressing up, though you can if you want. The staff are ...

From the moment we stepped into the ship until we arrived at the airport, it was top notch service. We ate at the restaurants and buffet. The buffet food compared to any to restaurant on other cruise lines. The atmosphere on board was excellent, no crowds or loud partying. Elegant parties with excellent food and drink. Excursions were well guided, knowledgeable and entertaining. We had trouble ...

This was our first Viking cruise: Venice to Barcelona. The Viking Star is a gorgeous ship, clean, beautifully furnished and kept up. I was consistently impressed by how nice it was, with comfort as a key component of the ship's design and decor. The cabin was roomy and comfortable to hang out in, and the balcony was great. How wonderful to wake up each morning in a different amazing port! ...

First time on Viking and now I have no choice but to only use them. Have cruised on three other lines but once you go Viking it sets a standard that can't be matched. The ship, rooms, staff, food, drinks, etc., etc. are such a step above anyone else we have been with. It seemed like everyone of the staff knew are first names within 24 hours on being on board. I was especially impressed with ...

We chose this cruise because of the range of countries, ports and variety of excursions offered. We loved Croatia, a country we might never otherwise have seen. Corfu was beautifully exotic. In Naples we toured Herculaneum rather than Pompeii and were surprised how immersive the tour was, being able to walk through the buildings and get up close to the frescoes, even walking on the original ...

Viking Star was the second cruise out of a 4 cruise itinerary. I wasn’t sure it would be our style but we loved it from the first moment on board. We felt so loved and welcomed. The entire crew and staff were visible all the time with a cool towel and drink after returning from side tours. The food was very good but not as good as QM2. Room service was great! Explorer Lounge was our spot for after ...

Our first cruise we decided to choose Viking. Smaller ships, less likely to have children and more people our own age. We are not explorers so we wanted to choose the best atmosphere for us. Viking gave us great options. Excursions to choose from were awesome. We enjoyed everyone of them. Free and the ones we had to pay for. I would recommend investigating and researching ahead of time as there ...
