Viking Ocean Bergen Cruise Reviews

We took The viking homeland cruise with the iceland extension. The crew and service has always been wonderful on all our trips. The rooms are great and well keep. The ship has many extras including a laundry which we did use. There is Leary’s entertainment in the evening with a variety of shows. My favorite side trip was the train ride through through the mountains. At this time of year the ...

I chose this cruise because of the countries it included. The staff on all the Viking cruises I have been on always make me feel special. The tours are interesting. The guides are knowledgeable, friendly, and willing to answer questions. I appreciate the capability of accessing information on the TV in the room. The food is excellent, service is above expectations. Viking cruises are well worth ...

I had wanted to cruise around Scandinavia for quite a few years, and when Viking came out with their ocean cruises, I knew this was the time for me to try Viking for the first time. I was not disappointed! Everything was wonderful from the itinerary, to the excursions, to the staff, to the food, and to the ship itself. The dining room staff was extremely attentive. My cabin steward knew my name ...

Chose this cruise because of itinerary, namely 3 days in Norway and the Norwegian fjords and 2 days in St. Petersburg, Russia. We were not disappointed especially in St. Petersburg. We took the comprehensive 2 day tour and thoroughly enjoyed it, but it was a bit tiring. Our guide, Helen, was super tremendous. Not enough words to describe how great she was as her knowledge was vast and lots of ...

The itinerary looked really interesting. We've looked at Northern Lights trips before, but this one was too intriguing to pass up, especially having never been to Norway or on Viking. I must agree with what was said about the carpet squares in another review, and most certainly a BIG, more like HUGE question arises as to whether or not we should have been sailing on 3/23 when a few other ships ...

This beautiful ship with a great service crew FAILED TERRIBLY ON MULTIPLE LEVELS at sea during a storm we should never have been in. Prior to the mayday we noticed several things that we found “sloppy” or unusual for a top cruise ship. The lights on the ship continually flickered and a huge banging sound continued for 30’hours prior to the engine failure. The crew was amazing, but handicap auto ...

I really wanted to see the Northern Lights and this was the perfect cruise. We saw the Northern Lights on several occasions . Overall this cruise gets a 4 - - the staff and crew were awesome, the packaged tours were lame and the speakers were a mixed bag. Take note that these cruises are mostly old people. Just thought I would mention it in case you, the reader, is under 60 and ...

We wanted to see the Northern Lights and love to cruise on smaller ships (Oceania is our 'go to'). The overcast skies during most of the cruise were a disappointment for seeing the Northern Lights (we had one clear night near Narvik that allowed about 15 minutes of viewing during the 12 days on board). The temperatures were also warmer than expected which resulted in melting snow and rain north of ...

This was a really enjoyable different kind of itinerary and our first experience with Viking. We came in with high expectations for the ship and crew and it was met in every way. Also, we really enjoy this size ship. We never felt crowded or experienced lines. Our cabin was modern, comfortable and provided ample storage space. The bathroom was great with a heated floor, plenty of counter ...

We wanted to see the Northern Lights and rather than take the Hurtegruten route which is heavily promoted in the UK, thought we would take a more luxurious option with Viking. We are both season travellers with over 10 cruises in various parts of the globe. Things did not start well with our arrival in Bergen and depositing our three bags at the terminal, for just two of them to arrive at ...
