Viking Ocean Alaska Cruise Reviews

This was our third Viking Cruise and I doubt we’ll ever sail with anyone else. Viking treats you like royalty. The cabin/staterooms are immaculate, the personnel are the best, the various restaurants offer an unbeatable selection, etc. The long awaited (due to the pandemic) Alaskan Cruise with the Denali and Vancouver extensions lived up to our expectations! We visited some excellent ports ...

This was our very first ocean cruise and we chose Viking for an Alaskan cruise. No casinos, no nightclubs, adults only, cultural lectures,..... this fit perfectly for us. What amazed us more was the attentive staff, the quality of the food, the accessibility of delicious food and drink, the cleanliness and perfect decor of a Norwegian ship, a spacious stateroom, twice daily housekeeping, and the ...

My wife and I chose Viking for our first Ocean Cruise largely because of our wonderful experiences with Viking on several River Cruises, including Russia, China and our Sojourn through Europe. We were not disappointed in the least. The Orion was fresh, clean and offered everything we could have wanted. What was missing was a casino and young children, and we praise Viking for those details. I ...

we chose Viking because, as mature people we like their focus on "no kids, no casinos", assuming that they target individuals like ourselves. while the ship was impressive and the crew delightful, we traveled with a friend who has difficulty walking long distances, and Viking had NO options for him, nor did they respond--both before and during the cruise--to his requests for assistance. They ...

I had a credit from COVID and had never seen Alaska. Viking did a great job with everything. The food was outstanding - I only had one item I didn't love - the eggplant cannelloni! The guest lecturers were very informative and well-spoken. My only suggestion would be to move up the 6:30 lectures to 5:30 because I feel more people would attend. The cruise director, Heather ...

This was our first cruise so we have nothing to compare this cruise experience to. We found the service to be great and enjoyed the cuisine. We knew we wanted to cruise Alaska, but did not want to be on a big ship. The Viking Ocean ships have 920 passengers which is a good amount. We booked a basic stateroom veranda which was a great size. Would not have needed anything more extravagant. ...

We chose this cruise because we always wanted to go to Alaska. For the first time we had Viking book our air and unfortunately United Airlines turned out to be a nightmare. We had to fly to Anchorage and then take a two hour bus ride to Seward where we met the Orion. We didn't arrive until late afternoon and at that point had no idea where our room was since we were not assigned a room. At 4 pm ...

This was our second Viking Ocean cruise and we thoroughly enjoyed the shipboard experience and the excursions. It was a great way to experience Alaska while being treated to first rate care. I can’t say enough about the attitude of the entire Viking staff. Every member, from the housekeepers to the restaurant workers to the entertainers to the sailing crew, was cheerful and attentive every time ...

Viking, true to their reputation did everything right. From the flights to Anchorage, pickup at the airport and drop off at the hotel for the two night extension. There was always someone in lobby to assist. The breakfasts catered by the hotel and the curated excursions were great. It was nice to meet some of our fellow ship mates prior to sailing. The bus ride to Seward was beautiful and the ...

My wife and I in 2018 had a "best vacation ever" experience on the Viking Star and were eager to have an enjoyable experience on Viking Orion. After eating my home cooking for nearly three years during the pandemic, both my wife and I were particularly excited to look forward to eating the wide array of fancier and well-prepared dishes that we enjoyed during our time on the Viking Star. We were ...
