Venice to Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

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 ...

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) ...

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 ...

We were looking for our first Med Cruise and to possibly branch out to a different cruise line. We settled on the opportunity to take the maiden cruise of a brand new ship, the Norwegian Viva, as it happened to have an ideal itinerary for us as it traveled from Venice (Trieste) to Lisbon. From the moment we stepped on the ship and were greeted with all the new novelties and layout along with the ...

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 ...

We recently returned from our Italy Intensive cruise on Azamara and wouldn't be able to say enough good things about it! The only small complaint would be the shower was a little smallish but it was still plenty effective. Our veranda room was really nice and comfortable with lots of storage. We are a 60ish active couple that have cruised a fair amount of times. The onboard staff were extremely ...

We chose Silversea on this occasion for the itinerary, although we have cruised with them before and know that their standard is our standard. The cruise was superb from start to finish. Although the ship is a little bit tired decor-wise, it did not detract from our enjoyment at all. The food was of a uniformly high standard. We mostly ate in the main restaurant as the choice is excellent ...

The Adriatic, and specifically Croatia and Greece, were our primary focus. Sailing out of Venice (Fusina) and ending in Athens was a perfect itinerary, with daily ports of call in between throughout the region. The door-to-door service provided by Silversea was perfect, and we were met at every stage of the trip by a representative who took care of our every need personally. The attention to ...
