After having to reschedule our Viking Russian River Cruise 2 times, we decided to take the Viking Ocean cruise to Norway. We originated in Amsterdam and ended in Oslo using extensions on both ends of the Cruise.
First lets talk about the wonderful parts of the cruise:
1. The ship is absolutely beautiful.
2. The staterooms are comfortable and the bathrooms are roomy and well provided for ...
We love Viking. Consistently excellent service. The intermarry is great with the only low points being rough seas and lots of ship motion during the sea day in the North Sea and high winds which prevented the ship from docking in Flam and the the cancelling of our shore excursions.... none of which Viking can control.
The food is delicious although my wife and I aren't foodies. It's an older ...
We loved Viking and the ship was just the right size. The shows were good and the food was excellent. We are vegetarians and they went out of their way to accomodate us.
We used the gym daily and it is well maintained. The equipment was good and there was enough equipment for this size ship. The adjacent spa area was extremely nice and refreshing. Unfortunately the pools are very small and not ...
We chose this cruise in 2019 and waited until 2022 to take it as we wished to travel when most, if not all, of the Covid-19 restrictions had been lifted. We only had been on one other cruise, a Princess Line Cruise to Alaska six years ago, so I have very little to compare this one to.
Our first experience with a Viking Cruise was in the airport at Amsterdam, where the people meeting us were ...
My cousin chose Viking to go to Norway, because she had taken a Viking cruise previously. My cousin and I are 50% Norwegian, and wanted to see where our Fathers' Ancestors came from. This cruise was wonderful: great food, great Entertainers, and great trips offered in each town we were in. The Tour guides on our trips offered, were very educational and fun; even the bus drivers were superior. ...
We wanted to see parts of Norway and learn about the Vikings. The onboard historians provided a new perspective on how the Vikings lived. We were fortunate to be in Norway on Norway Day, the first one celebrated in two years, it was great to see all of the people celebrating their heritage.
The ship is wonderful and the crew outstanding. Even with the Covid testing requirements we ...
This was our first Viking cruise and all I can say is that the bar has been set to high!
We cannot find a thing to complain about. Everything was just perfect. We loved our cabin, 5057, mid ship, category DV2. Our cabin stewards were excellent and we barely saw them as they seemed to slip in and out without us noticing. The cabin was very well appointed, loved the toiletries, great hairdryer, ...
My wife and I wanted to return to some of the places we had visited when we lived in Oslo in the early 1980s. This cruise gave us that opportunity at a reasonable price with great tours, lectures, entertainment and eating included. The onboard opportunities added substantially to the tours and events during excursions. Of particular interest were the lectures presented on aspects of Viking ...
This is my first time on any line that wasn't one of the "big 3" and I will never go back! From the no-children, no-pressure, no-casino on-board experience, to the included tours, to the airport and hotel transfers, to the food, to the staff, to the verandas, to the scenery absolutely every detail was spectacular. The spa was an excellent amenity and is included for all (massages were reasonably ...
My husband has always wanted to cruise to Norway and see the fjords. We loved the trip and would go to Norway again. It was beautiful and we had great albeit somewhat cool weather. The food on Viking was phenomenal and everything on the cruise was well organized. There were no lines or waiting for anything from when we embarked the ship in Amsterdam until we disembarked in Bergen. We have been on ...
