Viking Ocean Bali Cruise Reviews

The Orion is a wonderful ship, and well-crewed. For the ship and crew I would give 4.5+ stars. I could not recommend this itinerary however, my 3rd experience with Viking. Ports of Call were mostly ugly industrial shipping harbors, and even the paid shore excursions seemed to offer little for the effort and discomfort involved being ashore. Those shore trips seemed as carefully managed as was ...

This was the best cruise of our life. Viking really does everything right: All-inclusive pricing, almost no extras (some excursions are extra), absolutely delicious food every meal, almost no sense of crowding, fantastic destinations. We enjoyed every single day. Got to see some bucket-list sites, notably Borobudur, the largest Buddhist monument on Earth. Staff were exceedingly helpful and ...

We chose this cruise because we have wanted to see Australia and New Zealand and this cruise had a lot of stops in both countries. Another plus was having the opportunity to unpack once and having a home base to keep coming back to vs a land tour where you live out of your suitcase moving every day or two. Those were the top 2 important criteria. Embarkation was very easy, especially since ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

3 ocean and five river Viking crises. Choise this tour as it had a discounted fare and started in Bali where our son and grandchildren live. Disjointed ports, Java consisted of bus tour to store fronts and ended at a commercial mall. Thailand island was beautiful. Four days in Viet Nam was too much, must have fit a Viking requirement. Singapore was beautiful. 6 hour rickshaw tour in Saigon ...

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 ...
