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 ...

Worst cruise ever, and that is BEFORE I contracted COVID 19 during the cruise

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 ...

Viking quality and service seems to have taken a downturn.

We had postponed our dream Alaskan cruise due to covid, and were finally able to take it in 2022. We had a truly wonderful experience on Viking's Mediterranean Odyssey in 2019, so we were confident of the quality and excellent service built in to all of the cruises by Viking, we thought. However, from the very beginning, to the end where I came home with covid, we were so disappointed. We ...

WORST CRUISE EVER - AND MOST EXPENSIVE

I chose Viking because it was the favorite cruise line of the well-traveled (40 cruises) couple I traveled with to Alaska. By day five, the couple said the Viking Orien Alaska trip was their worst cruise in 25 years. Chaotic and stressful does not begin to describe my experience. The night before my first excursion - the Deadliest Catch - I received a letter that Deadliest Catch was ...

We have taken several Viking Cruises, both river and ocean. For this trip we booked one of the explorer suites, quite pricey and our best friends booked another of the explorer suites. Check in was awful as the staff could not make the card processor work despite several managers trying to help. No one to explain COVID instructions prior to boarding. We were told the explorer suites were available ...
