As always, service on Viking is top notch - great food, pleasant entertainment and extremely courteous/efficient staff. The Italian specialty restaurant is phenomenal! The Chef's Table menu was mediocre, though the wine pairings were fun. Having a different port every day maximizes exploration opportunities. I like that Viking offers an included tour in every port . . . most of the tours we ...

The destinations were breathtaking and filled with adventure, interacting and learning from the locals, their way of life and their history. Every port and island was so different and had its own unique beauty and history. Viking was first-class with a gracious crew. They were always accessible, helpful and made us feel at home onboard. Every meal was delicious, featuring local and world cuisines ...

Let me be honest, I don’t cruise. I’m prone to seasickness and slightly claustrophobic and it’s a long story but I was sort of tricked into this trip (I was told we were going to Greece…no mention of a boat). I am SO glad I went!! The size of the boat vs number of guests makes it feel super spacious, never felt crowded, even the dining experiences were roomy and attentive. I got the dots from my ...

We had taken a River Cruise with Viking in "22 and loved it. This was a chance to go to places we had only dreamed about and do it with family members. The ship was so beautiful! It was fun just to wander through and see all the spaces and taste the food that was available just about any time. ( No extra charge). My husband had to visit the Medical center for a upper respiratory infection. ...

My wife and I had a fantastic cruise on the Viking Mars. Out visit started in Athens Greece for an extended 4 days and ended in Barcelonia Spain for an extra 2 days. All of the ports we visited and the extursions to local sites were great. Outr 4 day extension in Athens proved to be especially enjoyable. I can not overstate the benefits of traveling with many others to various historical ...

We wanted to go to countries we hadn't traveled to before such as Turkey, Italy, and Monaco but also seeing parts of other countries we hadn't visited such as Crete, southern France and southern Spain (Barcelona). We really enjoyed seeing historic sights such as Pompeii and Ephesus. Rome sights were great but we also enjoyed traveling to the Tuscany area for a relaxing visit to a vineyard. A ...

I will absolutely sail with Viking again. Everything is perfectly thought out. We came back from a cold day of excursions and the crew handed out hot chocolate. We missed a port due to weather but the crew put together a full day of activities for us in a matter of hours. Most importantly, this is a shout out to anyone who deals with allergies. My adult son has life threatening food allergies ...

This was my first cruise and the experience was overwhelming. The staff were all so friendly, accommodating and willing to answer any question. If I wanted any changes to my room, they the staff was very responsive. Every meal was memorable and the wait staff were impressive. One night the meal was surf & turf, but I just wanted some of the lobster. To my surprise the chef brought over two lobster ...

We booked this cruise in March of 2022, when covid was still in the news. We figured that Viking would take good care of us, and we have heard raves about their ships and service. The hype was warranted. The ship was first class all the way, food was great, service was wonderful, cabins were very nice. We liked it enough that we have booked 2 more cruises with them. We enjoyed the itinerary, ...

I originally booked the cruise to St Petersburg, Russia but due to the war changed to Empires of the Mediterranean. This was my first cruise. The ship was just the right size and the fact that there were only 900 passengers and all adults was an important factor in choosing Viking. Also, the cruise was designed for cultured individuals which I enjoyed. The service provided by the staff was ...
