Viking Ocean Alaska Cruise Reviews

This cruise was the culmination of a lifelong interest in the glacial geography, flora, fauna, and indigenous cultures of the Alaska panhandle. It certainly did not disappoint! From the active glacial fields and plentiful marine fauna of Seward’s Kenai Fjords and Resurrection Bay to the frequent interactions with living members the native Tlingit civilization to be found in Haines, Sitka, Juneau, ...

We wanted to cruise the Alaskan Inside passage on a ship with fewer passengers and quality service. The Viking Orion is a beautiful ship in perfect condition. There is an understated elegance on the Orion with beautiful art and artifacts. Our crew members were friendly and professional and always ready to help. The food was very good with plenty of choices at every meal. The excursions were ...

Alaska was a bucket list trip. Saw a lot of animals: lots of brown bears, humpback whales, orca, sea otters, eagles, caribou, etc. Ship room was great. Staff from housekeeping to restaurant were very attentive. Evening entertainment was great. Food at both the buffets and reservation-only dining rooms was wonderful. Great choices not matter your preference. Highly recommend the cruise and ...

Three couples went on this cruise together; one of them already had it scheduled and talked the other two (including us) into going. We were fortunate to have ideal weather for the entire 10 days. Everything about this cruise was top-notch. The service aboard Orion was excellent and very personalized. For example, we established a regular routine for dinner and always arrived at 6 PM when the ...

From the time you embark to disembark, your experience will be amazing with Viking. The Alaska 10 day itinerary was perfect, leaving Seward and ending in Vancouver. The Orion and crew are exceptional. I wish we had gotten this review earlier so we could mentioned every one…. From the cabin attendants, spa, dining, to the bar tenders, everyone brought their A games and provided amazing ...

Can't beat an Alaskan Cruise. The scenery is unbelievable. This was our 5th Alaskan Cruise and we've booked another. The Orion was decadent in the room, the Restaurant, the Cafe, or the forward lounge. The food was great. We loved our aft suite, watching the ship's wake. The wrap-around deck allowed great views as we sailed the glaciers and the fjords. The cabin stewards were super, and all ...

After scheduling Alaskan cruises twice before, only to have them cancelled both times due to COVID travel restrictions, we decided to schedule with Viking. Having taken a wonderful European river cruise experience with Viking several years ago (2014), we decided to go "first class" again on this cruise, with Viking handling all airline and hotel transfers and limiting ourselves to "easy" ...

The facilities were fantastic. My wife, Lisa, and I used everything they offered including the gym, spa, infinity pool, main pool, game deck, planetarium, auditorium, Torshavn club, the two specialty restaurants, and all the other eating places on the ship. The food was fantastic and the location of the bars were very well placed. Service was impeccable. The laundry facilities were very nice. ...

We chose this cruise because we had credits from a cancelled European river cruise that was scheduled during Covid. Alaska seemed like a safer bet at the time we had to make a decision for our itinerary. Before the trip I wasn't overly excited about it, but the cruise turned out to be very enjoyable and enlightening. Viking offers exceedingly professional yet friendly service by its employees. ...

My grandson (age 26) wanted to go to Alaska and we chose the Viking line. This was our first Viking experience although a good friend goes on back to back Viking cruises (even on the Polaris recently) and he highly recommends Viking and raves about the food. Our experience was different from his. The service and ship facilities were excellent. The food was lacking, I would rate it as ordinary ...
