Viking Ocean Auckland Cruise Reviews

We enjoyed ourselves immensely. The service on board was uniformly excellent and the entertainment was superb. We had a spacious suite and a very attentive cabin staff. The meals in the specialty restaurants were excellent and inspiring and we were able to invite our friends to share the table with us on many occasions. The shore excursions were a mixed bag. Some had excellent tour guides who ...

This is our first time in a Viking Ocean Cruise and the experience was amazing. First, the number of passenger is not too big (less than 1000) which makes the trip more enjoyable. No lines in the buffet, no crowd in the major areas.The meal is outstanding in quality and variety. The staff is very nice and professional. The shows in the theater are excellent. There are shore excursions included in ...

We booked this cruise so we could revisit some of our favorite locations - New Zealand and Australia! And the beautiful Viking Mars was our choice for this trip. It was our first voyage with Viking. Viking promises excellent service and amenities which surpassed those of other cruise lines we traveled with in the past. Everything about the ship was high quality- cabin services, food and ...

First Viking cruise and I was not disappointed. The customer service, accommodations, and food was outstanding. They don't nickel and dime you on board which was appreciated. I love that many excursions are included in the initial price. We enjoyed the specialty restaurant meals. The chef's accommodated my shellfish allergy. The ship was clean and the massage in the spa was enjoyable. ...

My husband and I took our first cruise with Viking in March, actually 2 cruises combined into one (New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia). The ship's staff were excellent and went out of their way to serve. Food selection and quality were always good in all of the dining venues. Our only complaint would be lack of a decent salad bar and few whole grain bread options. We appreciated the ship's light ...

Viking Mars – New Zealand and Australia 7 Feb – 21 Feb Having traveled on Viking River Cruises, this was our first Viking Ocean adventure. This trip had been canceled previously two times due to the pandemic and the two countries shutting down completely. Having been on many other ocean cruises (different companies), this clearly was one of the best cruises we’ve been on. That being ...

Excellent service throughout the cruise. DInner wait staff was very attentive. Food was always top notch. Room was cleaned twice daily by housekeeping crew. The smaller sized ship Viking utilizes allows for more personal attention and opportunities for the crew to meet or exceed your expectations for the cruise, be it food, drinks, or housekeeping. Although the Orion is scheduled for dry dock ...

This was a bucket list cruise, to see New Zealand and some of Australia. We enjoyed really good weather, even a little cook at times in NZ. The crew was excellent, from our cabin attendant to our wait staff in the dining room, to staff at every venue. They work so hard, yet always have a smile when you talk with them. The food most of the time was excellent, although a little bland at times. ...

The staff was great! Always greeted us with a Hello and a smile. Very helpful whenever asked. The entertainment was a lot better then on the river cruise. Graham the cruise director was the best! Food was absolutely fabulous!! Some of the best soups I have ever had. Most definitely should offer a cook book with the recipes from the cruise ships. The Orion ship was absolutely ...

Had enjoyed a Viking Ocean to Scandinavia in 2019, liked the small ship size, but not too small, no kids and no casino. This ship experience far exceeded my very high expectations. The food options were all consistently excellent. The variety of things to do on board was great, with interesting and varied talks, games, great entertainment, movies, great in room TV options. I wish that there ...
