Venice to the Mediterranean Viking Ocean Viking Star Cruise Reviews

We wanted to try Viking ocean cruise ships since we have made several river cruises. It was a beautiful ship with the customary superb Viking care, service and food. And we were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary by visiting Italy for the first time, taking the Italian Sojourn, Venice to Rome cruise. We took the Tuscany extension which included staying in a 600 year old villa set in ...

We chose the Viking Cruise because of all the fabulous countries that it offers to take people. We have seen many commercials about Viking and we loved that everyone has a balcony to sit out and relax. With other cruise lines, this is given to passengers that pay more. Viking is also very different in a great way. We were given wine, beer and soft drinks with our meals, sit down dinner ...

We picked this cruise with friends. Each of us contributed to the cruise we chose. Each of us enjoyed the different shore excursions and the variety of ports visited, especially, seeing St. Marks Square and experiencing a gondola ride in Venice. The highlight of our cruise was touring Mt. Etna and Monserrat. We enjoyed the choices available for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Our favorite ...

We haven't done much travelling in the Med area so thought this cruise was an ideal way to see a lot of places for a taster. Great embarkation procedure. We had travelled Viking oceans before so knew what to expect of the ship, and where everything was. The ship is well laid out, and the relaxing atmosphere on board is great. There are plenty of places to sit and relax both out in the fresh ...

This was our first Viking cruise, and overall we were thrilled with our experience. Looking for a cruise with more stops, and no sea days in the mediterranean, this was a great option. Service was king, and clearly on the minds of every staff member we encountered. From checkin to waitstaff... we were treated very well. The only major complaint was not being able to wear shorts in the dining ...

The best review is....WE BOOKED ANOTHER CRUISE while onboard! Our positives are too many to mention here...glorious sunrises with breakfast on our private veranda are at the top of that long list! Viking is a well-oiled machine...from coordination of airport transportation, embarkation, the fabulous excursion options, how we were organized to exit the ship for excursions, dining options, OMG! ...

We chose Into the Midnight Sun on the Viking Star because the itinerary was appealing and we find cruising with Viking to be enjoyable. Viking is attractive because their associates are friendly, engaging, sincerely concerned for our welfare and pay close attention to making certain that all details are covered. The itinerary included a pre-cruise option to visit Reykjavik, Iceland. We enjoyed ...

We have been on three river cruises previously, two with Viking so thought we’d give the ocean cruise a go. We have been on the larger cruise ships as well but there was no comparison, the ratio of passengers to crew was amazing your every need was catered for by a crew who seemed to be enjoying their work as much as you we enjoying the cruise. Management were always in evidence but not in an ...

We had gone on a Viking River Cruise and decided to try Viking Ocean (great reviews and an itinerary we liked). We had 3 generations (youngest was 19) and there were no complaints from anyone. We usually went on different shore excursions and all (except for one) were excellent. We had 3 cabins and they fixed the balconies so they could be connected - great place to "hang out" before dinner. ...

Chose based on ratings and word of mouth remarks. Cabin was very nice and especially liked the heated floor in the bathroom. The staff were very pleasant and extremely helpful. The ports of call were very interesting and very picturesque. The evening talks before we arrived at the ports were interesting and informative and provided a great experience. The dining areas were very nicely appointed ...
