I was interested in learning more about this region in a relaxing travel mode and this cruise delivered. The one thing that surprised me most was how well appointed the Orion was. I have been on several cruises and none were as nice as this for me. So much was included that I way overpacked! I even enjoyed coffee and sodas in my room without using room service. Great as I like to spend time on my ...
We have done 2 previous river cruises and this was our first Ocean Cruise. We were very impressed with the travel and transfer arrangements that Viking had made for us. If you are like us, which are cautious travelers to first time destinations, Viking is the cruise company for you. Once you meet your Viking representative at the destination airport EVERYTHING is taken care of for you. We ...
Great way for a first time visit to parts of Southeast Asia. The cruise was perfect in most all aspects : a great and smooth embarkation and disembarkation processes, baggage handling and airport transportation; excellent staterooms design and amenities that beats most luxury hotel rooms; simplicity, quality and beauty of ship furniture and amenities everywhere; superb quality of food and service ...
The ship was spacious and the common areas were beautifully appointed and maintained. The shore excursions were well planned the guides were all good.
The service was excellent at all the restaurants I enjoyed all my dining experiences.
I enjoyed the casual dining food options but I did not understand the rule regarding dinner attire it seemed too formal for me.
The port talks were ...
We chose this cruise line and destination for the reasons:
1. we were looking for a cruise line that limit the children
2. no "nickel and dime" cruise
3. always wanted to visit SEA but was not sure where to start, this provide on paper a great itinerary.
4. we are foodies and the "Kitchen Table" and "Chef Table" options really enticed us.
Our experience overall for this cruise was ...
We had always wanted to visit destinations listed in this itinerary and it fulfilled that desire. It just so happened that it was aboard the Viking Orion, our first Viking Ocean Cruise. The ship was all and more than we expected. Our stateroom 6050 was comfortable, roomy, storage for suitcase under the bed, large closet, great layout in bathroom, balcony, very nice bed. On top of all this the ship ...

I lost my diamond from my engagement ring ...
We wanted to explore this part of the world but only had a limited amount of time. The cruise gave us a great itinerary and covered a lot of territory. It was great to have the tours prearranged as well.
This was our first Viking Ocean cruise. We loved the ship and the friendly and attentive crew. We appreciate an elegant but casual experience. We never had to dress up for dinner. We could ...
This was our third time to travel with Viking Cruises. In spring of 2017 we traveled the Danube river from Bucharest to Budapest. This was such a fun and exciting trip beginning in Bangkok with a two day pre-cruise stay. We enjoyed the city market and the temples including our favorite, the Golden Reclining Buddha. The cruise journey found us visiting Jakarta, Singapore, several stopes in ...
We had never been to Asia and were interested in exploring this area of the world. We also had never done a cruise before as a couple but were impressed with the Viking review and reputation. The trip was fascinating as we got a chance to learn about this area of the country. Each stop was a new experience and learning adventure. At the same time, we had time to relax. As my husband and I both ...
