Viking Ocean Africa Cruise Reviews

Review of Viking Sky 2023/24 World Cruise. For 4 months per year my wife and I have been avid cruisers. Firstly 18 with Azamara, but since their sad decline we switched to Viking. Now with 8 completed, and enjoyed, it was sad to see how far Viking standards have fallen. We found this on our recent segmented 2 legs on this world cruise. This was after we were initially notified that we were ...

We chose the Viking Panama Canal 16 day cruise because of the opportunity for extended sea days mixed with South American tropical ports of call. This itinerary afforded us ample time aboard to take advantage of multiple Nordic Spa days, daily promenade walks at sunrise, sunsets on our veranda and star lite nights. Quiet times to sunbath with a good book or reflect upon the soul stirring live ...

This was my very first ocean cruise. I had specific requirements in my search for the right cruise. I wasn’t interested in a party atmosphere with loud disco music, I wanted to avoid children running around the ship, and I wasn’t interested in spending time with gambling or casinos. I wanted a cruise with diverse dining options in restaurants that didn’t require me to become best friends with a ...

Our only other cruise experience was The Inside Passage to Alaska. After hearing rave reviews by neighbors and acquaintances, we elected to give Viking a try! Also, my wife, Nancy, was excited by 21 days of travel with NO packing/unpacking! Viking is impressive. Layout of the stateroom, furnishings of the Ship, eating options, selection, and training of the staff - everything has been ...

This was our 19th cruise, but our first on Viking. Previously, we've sailed on a number of the mainstream lines, as well as Oceania. Our experience on Viking was largely excellent, with a few minor cavils. Here's our list of positives and negatives: Positives: - Wonderful service attitude. They're always extremely accommodating - Beautiful ship. Like a fine, high-end hotel - Excellent ...

My husband wanted to cruise the Suez Canal & this part of the cruise was fantastic for both of us. The narration done by the historian made it perfect. Every talk from the historians was excellent. The ship was great...service, staff, food, cleanliness, port talks, & Viking Daily with clear information about each port regarding what each country required for us to enter & leave. Negative some of ...

The itinerary looked wonderful and the end in India intrigued us. What we found less pleasurable were the included daily trips ashore. Many were not stimulating even though our guides tried hard. We are more adventurous and would have liked on shore options that were more individual, allowing us to explore the people and the cities. We knew there were options but to spend a long time on a ...

Extra time sailing plus Viking's great line-up of shore excursions was a perfect combination for us. Sailing days allowed us to fully explore the onboard amenities of Viking Jupiter, where staff, enrichment lectures, dining and entertainment were outstanding and varied. Port days included a wide range of excursions with knowledgeable guides who provided eye-opening insights into local ...

This was our 3rd Viking Ocean Cruise and it was fantastic. We found the food in all eateries to be excellent, the staff were very friendly and helpful, the theatre shows were really good and the historians/lectures were most enjoyable. We were lucky with a very smooth crossing and excellent daily updates from the captain at noon regarding sea depth, speed, conditions etc. Our DV2 cabin was ...

Viking does cruises like no other. From the moment we received our documents we knew we were in good hands. We have over 25 cruises and Viking is by far the leader in the field. Our ship The Viking Jupiter is well designed and staffed with a truly professional team. The Jupiter is stylish in every way and well designed with elegance and comfort in mind. We stayed in stateroom 50** and it was ...
