The Viking Mars is a lovely ship. Very modern. The food and the service are outstanding. The two 5-star restaurants are wonderful, the general restaurant and the buffet also have excellent food and wonderful choices, from steaks, chicken to fish, to sushi, really something for everyone. The staff did have a bit of trouble keeping up with all the guests at peak dining time clearing a resetting ...

Viking does not do Asia well

I had a fantastic time on Viking to Iceland. Based on that trip I convinced my husband to come along on a trip from Bali to Bangkok. First, the Viking brand does not translate well to Asia. Second, the itinerary is, how can I say it nicely…bad. Far too much time spent in ports not good for cruises, far too little in interesting ports. Singapore for 8 hours is beyond too little time ...

I chose this cruise because I have been on a few Viking cruises and have been extremely impressed by them. The thought of spending 2 days in Bali and 2 in Bangkok, going to Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand sounded very exotic and far out of my normal travel destinations. The first day in Bali was really traveling as was the second day in Bangkok. Unlike other cruises I have been on, the ...

This is our first experience with Viking Ocean cruise and we unfortunately are very disappointed. While the ship is very nice and the crew is wonderful, Viking falls short in many categories. First, bare in mind this is NOT a luxury cruise line like Regent or SilverSeas. While you end up paying about the same the experience is much different. Viking is not all inclusive and you quickly realize how ...

We picked this cruise for the itinerary, never having sailed with Viking. Previously, we have primarily cruised on Celebrity, so most comparisons will be with our previous Celebrity experience. The ship is nice, very clean, design wise almost sterile (who calls a restaurant “The Restaurant”) with several spaces under-utilized, like the Wintergarden. Staff were generally accommodating and ...

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

Sydney to Bangkok: Chose this one for The Great Barrier Reef in Australia, and a re-visit to Bangkok. The ship was beautiful, the staff the best of the 25 cruises I've been on, but the upper level excursion staff were extremely rude. This is second Viking Ocean and both have had same issues. The excursions are not vetted properly and they don't give you much information until the night prior, at ...

We were looking for something out of the ordinary, and this adventure did not disappoint. We enjoyed exploring Sydney and riding the public ferries to the local beaches,, seeing kangaroos in the wild during our Hunter Valley wine tasting, snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef, witnessing Komodo Dragons in their natural environment, and relaxing in a luxurious Bali resort. The Viking Experience ...

First let me start by saying I have cruised hundreds of days with a number of cruise lines, including Celebrity, Royal Carribean, Princess, Norwegian and hold status on many of these lines. I am an avid traveler both by land and sea and have had nothing but positive experiences. Last fall my husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary, we had so wanted to do a Riverboat cruise We left ...

The worst food experience and shore excursions on a cruise

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

After sailing on Viking Orion during Oct 2022 and providing feedback, along with many other Australian passengers, one would consider that it would be acted upon. However, much to my disappointment this has not been the case. Australians love their coffee but on Viking Orion it is awful. From day one the coffee beans appear to be old without any taste. Even a double or triple shot fails to ...

I love traveling. This particular Viking Ocean Cruise was my first. When I travel, top priority is food, then comfort, then quality of excursions, amenities and lastly all that was promised to me was fulfilled. I chose Viking because it had the best reputation for food quality and because there would be no kids on the ship. No loud screaming babies as I chose this to get a break from whiny ...
