Viking Ocean Athens (Piraeus) Cruise Reviews

We chose Viking on their impeccable reputation. They did not disappoint. It is obvious from day 1 that customer service is the priority. We were always greeted warmly by all staff no matter the time of day or night. The cabin stewards cleaned twice a day as well as restocked the mini fridge. The Freya products provided in the bathroom were great. I did not use my own products. The pools and decks ...

The ship was very nice…we liked the size of the ship compared to RCCL ships we have been on the past 32 cruises. Really liked no kids under 18 and no casino or smoking. Very friendly staff…John and April were best cabin attendents for our cabin 6080. Sharon down on Bar on Deck 1 was especially nice...you hire good people. Food was very good at all venues…my only negative comment – the World ...

This was our first cruise and chose Viking because of their reputation. We had friends who took other Viking cruise’s and raved about the experience. Viking did not disappoint us in any way from the flight reservations, airport arrangements, picking us up at the airport, luggage transfers,and hotel rooms. The experience on the ship was fabulous and the staff was more than friendly and ...

We made a poor decision to travel to Europe in the summer, partly because our preferred cruise to Buenos Aires was delayed by Covid for 3 years and we mistakenly believed Viking wouldn't refund our original payment. For that I can never forgive Viking. The cruise was basically fine and uneventful but seriously marred by extreme heat. Our first stop in Katakolon was a disaster - Viking should have ...

My wife and I have sailed on many big-ship cruises and once on the Viking River longship. We decided to try the Viking Ocean cruise with the Included Airfare and pre- and post-cruise extensions. This review reflects our experiences onboard of the Viking Sky and other segments of our trip under the Viking care. • The best part of our journey was the 7 days on the Viking Sky. The ship itself is ...

We traveled on a River Cruise with Viking in the past. We were very impressed with the service offered we wanted to try an Ocean cruise. The Viking team showed up with the same type service so it was easy to see it’s part of the company’s culture. The cabins cleaned twice a day, the ship was always clean, and the restaurants top notch. In the restaurants the food was well prepared and tasted ...

We chose this cruise because of the ports visited that was on our bucket list for years. We sailed on the Viking Sea in 2019 and loved everything about the cruise. We had the same expectations after booking this cruise but we were immediately disappointed starting the first night on board. The food quality, selection, taste and presentation were lacking and mediocre at best. The food lacked ...

We booked a cruise with Viking, from Athens to Venice , and embarked on the cruise onJune9 of 2023 .The cruise is called “ Empires of the Mediterranean.” No vegetarian should book with Viking !! As my wife is basically a vegetarian, even before making the booking on the cruise, I had taken the trouble of calling Viking directly and speaking to somebody in the culinary department to ensure ...

We initially went on a Viking cruise per the recommendations of my sister and brother-in-law who are Viking veterans. We have never wanted to go on a cruise before because all we have ever seen about cruising. Are they hordes of people, waiting in line to do everything and getting nickels and dimes for all activities and extra events. We were so glad that we did go on a Viking cruise for our first ...
