Viking Ocean Alaska Cruise Reviews

We had just retired and wanted a trip to decompress from owning a business, and was lucky enough to book this trip on short notice. The excursions were well organized, the ship had a lot of activities everyday that were well published. The food was top knotch, the bars were scenic and convenient. The Norfic spa was flat out amazing, with big heated pool, hot tubs, sauna, steam room, ice room, ...

The cruise was outstanding. Meals were excellent. Cruise ship was immaculate. Enjoyed this cruise immensely. Viking is more expensive but no extra cost on the ship and includes a lot that other cruise ships charge for. The Prestine Alaska pre-cruise tour was great. 2 days in Fairbanks, 2 days in Denali, 2 days in Talkeetna and 2 days in Seward.This included most meals and several excursions. ...

As first times cruisers, we had selected Viking based on our research. And now we know why Viking is ranked a top cruise line. All the arrangements for travel, onboarding, excursions were handled with utmost precision. Viking excelled at providing concise and timely details pertaining to our cruise. We were pleased with the variety of excursions planned during the cruise. And during the sailing ...

We have been on 8 previous cruises to Alaska and over 25 cruises total with Crystal, Holland America and Oceana. We cruised from Vancouver to Seward and back, so two cruises, I guess. The two-day pre cruise was at a marginal hotel and there were no offerings of things to do in Vancouver. The transfer to the ship was a 5-hour tour with our luggage on the bus. So, we get to the ship midafternoon ...

Great service! Great excursions! Great room and great dinners! It didn’t seem like 900 were on the boat ever! Viking’s service helped us on every question we had. Diners were never seemed busy and could get into all restaurants. Easy on, easy off with easy to and from excursions. Our room was very comfortable and had an egg crate liner put on the bed because of my back. The ...

We wanted to go to Alaska and the timing worked very well so we could also celebrate a significant anniversary. Viking Orion is a beautiful ship where we never felt crowded or overwhelmed by fellow travelers. Our stateroom was beautiful with heated bathroom floors and every little detail thought through. The Viking staff will go above and beyond to help every guest have an amazing time so in the ...

We have had past Viking cruises and knew that this one would also be exceptional. While on the cruise we also booked yet another. We enjoy cruises that are adult customers - we do not want casinos or fancy dining and dancing. Viking gives us extraordinary food, always with the local area touches and lectures and programs on board that entertain and educate about the area we are cruising. The ...

I used funds from a Viking trip to Iceland cancelled during Covid. Very expensive but have never had better service from the staff on a cruise ship. The guest lecturers were amazing and so much more accessible given the small ship atmosphere. We liked the stop in Valdez which only a few cruise lines offer. The food was the best we’ve had on. a ship. Drinks, shore excursions and specialty ...

We chose this cruise because the ship was smaller than many of the other cruises, the great reputation of Viking, and the ports it was sailing to. We were not disappointed. The cabins are well thought out and were perfect for the amount of time that we spent in them. The food was outstanding. From the World Cafe to the three sit-down restaurants, the staff and food was excellent. Any need we had ...

We have waited for a long time to take this bucket list trip to Alaska! The smaller number of passengers on the ship was important to us and we had heard so many positive recommendations for Viking. We selected both the cruise and the inland extension as we have wanted to se Denali National Park for quite sometime. All accommodations we first class as the cabin was a great size and we enjoyed ...
