Viking Ocean Bergen Cruise Reviews

We celebrated our 45th and wanted the best for this event. Great cabin and fabulous cabin stewards. The entertainers were awesome, especially Matthew. Bartenders were total service and personable, especially Carlos and CJay. Interesting excursions and we had a wonderful time in each port. The food!!! Oh my, we didn't have anything that wasn't fantastic. My husband was especially ...

Chose this as our first ever cruise because of itinerary and all the extras included in a Viking ocean cruise such as many included excursions, outstanding food and specialty restaurants included, beer and wine included, gorgeous ship and stateroom. The service and crew were outstanding! The personnel were from all over the world and we found them to be so interesting to talk to and to ask ...

We have enjoyed numerous Viking river cruises and hoped this first Viking cruise ship experience would be equally fantastic. It was. Nothing is left to chance with Viking and everything is first class. The thought of getting on one of the many massive cruise ships with 3,000 of our closest friends is hideous. Viking does it all with a smaller ship, with all balcony staterooms, and much more ...

We choose the small ship , Viking Jupiter, just because of reviews and the wonderful convenience of having only 8-900 people on board !! When you wanted to exit the boat, there was no 'traffic jam'. We were on the top floor... the 8th. We could walk up and down to everywhere with ease. There weren't 25 buses for excursions... there were 4-5. Never crowded at anytime on the ship. Dinner ...

My favorite things about Viking is their attempt to please their customers. We love the elegance of the ship. So many places to “secret” yourself away. Peace and quiet. Little of the frantic “go do this, go do that.” I love the lack of children. The wait staff in the restaurant could do a better job if they were more formal in the serving and removing plates. Many times the servers ...

We chose this cruise because of the reputation of Viking cruise line and the itinerary. The Jupiter is a magnificent new ship, with soothing, understated, but beautiful Scandinavian decor. I actually liked the lack of "glitzy" finishes. My favourite part of the ship was the Winter Garden, where tea is served every day at 4 p.m. I am not someone who goes to tea, but I chose to sit in there to ...

Although I had been on another cruise line before, which left me not wanting to go on another, my wife and I had heard so many great things about viking cruises we decided on this trip a year in advance. The flights were the most enjoyable ever and when we arrived in Bergen the embarkation was so easy and not at all stressful, unlike my other cruise where there were thousands of people crowed in ...

We wanted to get an overview of the Nordic countries. I had been in the US Merchant Marine and sailed the Baltic many years ago. My wife is Dutch, so that most of our European trips have been to the Netherlands, France and England. We selected Viking because of praise from many of my academy classmates. Since Oslo wasn't on the itinerary, we spend two days there prior to taking the train ...

I was always dreaming about visiting Scandinavians countries. This cruise fulfilled my dream. Despite the bad weather the first few days and cancellation of some of my shore excursion, we enjoyed the cruise. Our overall review about the curise was outstanding from begginning to the end, the service of the entire crew was great, friendley and the entertainment was superb. The selection of ...

Everything (ship amenities, food, shore excursions, service people, entrainment) on the Viking Jupitor was absolutely great and wonderful. The biggest concern I had going on this cruise was eating the food as I am gluten free. The was all labeled and I did not have a problem feeling ill. The restaurant supervisor was excellent and went out of his way to make sure I was happy with the food. On ...
