Ship was beautiful, staff amazing. Food was great. From the time our plane landed Viking staff was ready for us. I have never been on a cleaner or friendlier ship. There was always someone there to help you with what ever you need. The bar tenders worked all the bars so it really was a place where everyone knew your name. That was a great special touch. A few draw backs it seemed all bars ...

We went on this cruise to see Greece. All of the excursions were educational, fun and surprising. The local guides were charming and the buses were great. We had a good mix of small towns and larger city excursions. We enjoyed the ship equally to the excursions. The restaurants were all amazing and included beer and wine with lunch and dinner. I enjoyed tea time in the Wintergarden so much but ...

From the time we made the reservations til we got home, Viking service was exceptional. Our airline tickets were tight but manageable. When we arrived in Athens, my wife's bag stayed in Vienna but the Viking rep, George, walked us thru the process to get her bag delivered. We boarded the Viking Sea and went to Customer Service and she was told that because of the Viking luggage tag her bag would ...

Viking has a lot of positive qualities, however, on this trip it was difficult/impossible to arrange dining and excursions with the other couple we were traveling with. This was very disappointing.

We had previously been on 4 Viking River cruises, one Viking ocean cruise and one Oceania cruise. We always traveled with friends and had a wonderful time. On this trip however, my deck 4 accommodations made it virtually impossible for me to schedule any meals or shore excursions with my friends. Even though I was supposed to be able to book two dinner reservations at the specialty restaurants, ...

Everything about the Viking Ocean Cruise experience was outstanding. The cruise ship itself is laid out in such a way that we never felt crowded. The number of dining options, the various areas of the ship in which to sit and read or sip a cocktail, the decks with their outside walking tracks, the numerous stairs and elevators, as well as the large lower area for Guest Services provide an ...

We wanted to see Greece and this cruise with the added Athens Pre-Stay was a great way of seeing all the different areas of Greece. Athens is a city but the Parthenon on the acropolis is truly a treat. The hotel we stayed is walking distance to the Plaka section and the main area of the city. After boarding the ship we were very pleased with the stops and the excursions. They were organized ...

We took our first Viking Ocean cruise last year, and enjoyed it very much! We decided to book another ocean cruise this year, and since we've already seen the Western Mediterranean, we wanted to focus on part of the eastern half this time. We chose the cruise from Athens to Venice, and extended our time in Venice by two nights at the end of the cruise. As always, the food and service on-board ...

We had not been to the region in many years and have wanted to visit beautiful Croatia. We appreciated visiting all of the countries during a cool and delightful spring before the high tourist season. Viking crew, staff, travel agents and local guides were professional, accommodating and deliberate about safety and comfort. Our post cruise extension was equally worthwhile. Our guide, Silvia, ...

We had done two river cruises and felt it was time to do an ocean cruise. The ports in this cruise sounded very interesting and did not disappoint. On the ship we were treated as if we were royalty. From the moment we stepped on board the ships staff couldn’t do enough to make sure we were comfortable, enjoying ourselves and eating well. The included excursions were very good and we were ...

The itinerary and length of this cruise was ideal for us. We had wonderful weather, and great guides on all the included excursions. Viking provided shuttles back to the ship from the various end points of these excursions which allowed us to extend our stay in town if time allowed. The excursions were well organized and the port talks provided good information before each stop. We missed one ...
