We went in search of the Northern Lights, which we saw briefly, but discovered so many magical worlds. Before embarking on a Northern Lights cruise you need to understand the reality of searching for the Northern Lights (it’s not like social media would lead you to believe) and adjust your expectations. Still, the hunt is exciting and completely worth it. You’d be hard pressed to do better than ...
I was very impressed with your superior service and staff. The food was outstanding and alway felt it was fresh. The best place to eat was The Restaurant. They also had the best and friendliest staff. I was greeted with a smile and even excellent recall of my favorites!
I was not impressed with Italian restaurant service. The staff we encountered at our meal was difficult to understand. She was ...
REVIEW FOR VIKING VENUS THROUGH CRUISE CRITIC
This is our fifth journey with VIKING CRUISES, but this is our first time to try an Ocean cruise. My husband and I sailed the Bordeaux wine river cruise in 2017 with friends, the Danube and Rhine Christmas market river cruises in 2019 and 2021 to celebrate my birthday, the Lyon and Provence river cruise with friends in 2022. We thought River ...
This was our first Viking Cruise but we have been on may others. We heard Viking was very good and a good value, we would now agree. Our goal was to see the Northern Lights, I know they don't control that but even if we hadn't seen them ( which we did 5 nights) we would of been very happy witht the cruise. The ship was spotless and beautiful, the crew was friendly beyond belief. Everyone had a ...
I chose this itinerary for our anniversary pretty much to see the Northern Lights. While I would have loved to have seen more colors, more times, we did witness the lights and it is difficult to put the feelings into words. It's just ethereal. Somehow each siting during our trip happened while on the ship. Even so, the evening (paid) excursions we went on - in hopes of seeing the lights away from ...
This was a cruise in search of the northern lights (more later on whether we found them)- a bucket list trip which we had been looking forward to doing as our other experience on Viking Ocean had been positive despite a rather last minute revising of our itinerary. This cruise was scheduled to start in Bergen, Norway and end in Tilbury, England- ah, the best laid plans and all that. Our cruise was ...
Well, we are back from our Viking “Search for the Northern Lights” cruise and as I had promised to provide a description of this trip, I thought I had better do so before my memory fails me. In brief, it was a very memorable journey and one that we do not regret having taken, despite numerous challenges presented by the January weather in that part of the world.
Our vacation got off to an ...
This is our second ocean cruise with Viking. We have also completed four Viking river cruises.
We chose the Great Britain Cruise because of the exceptional excursions offered and our past excellent experience with Viking cruises. All the Viking staff, from the embarkation staff, restaurant servers and chefs to our personal cabin steward provided exceptional service. Everyone went out of ...
We really wanted to visit Iceland and Ireland. Spain and Portugal were a bonus, especially Barcelona. However our stop to Dublin was cancelled due to rough seas that prevented us boarding the Tenders.
Other than that the Saturn was an incredible ship. The crew was A+, the amenities were First Class and the ship was really well laid out for the comfort of the guests.
Though we both love ...
The housekeeping staff were awesome. Arvin and Gene were very helpful and always friendly and had a smile. Greeted me by name each time they saw me. The assistant cruise director and Harry were there to play baggo. The wait staff were very friendly and very very good job. The one area I had problems with the cruise was when we signed up for excursions most and the best were already booked. ...
