Viking Ocean Bergen Cruise Reviews

This cruise had the variety of destinations and locations we wanted to visit. We were so impressed with the ship overall and the quality of the cruise - Viking does a great job! The ship has so many interesting spaces and we definitely went into all areas. We often played games/cards in the afternoon/evenings and really enjoyed all the spaces that were available for that. One area that was ...

I heard a lot of good things about Viking before the cruise. The trip was fantastic! Even though there was 900+ people on the boat, it was hard to tell. None of the restaurants or lounges were ever crowded. There are plenty of places to sit and relax. The boat was very luxurious. The food was great! With the Silver spirits and pre-paid tips, we spent $0.00 onboard the boat. Room service ...

Our first Viking cruise. From the time they picked us up at the airport to the time they dropped us off, Viking did a wonderful job. The crew was amazing, the service impeccable. The food was good and plentiful. We loved the World Cafe, which served the same items as The Restaurant with more choices and was quicker. We were treated like royalty by everyone. The entertainment was very good, ...

We chose the itinerary: Bergen to St. Petersburg. Through no fault of Viking's, the tail end was lopped off (for obvious reasons), so no St. Petersburg, no Helsinki, no Tallinn. The replacements - Gdansk, Berlin, a second day in Oslo - were not great. The stops that remained from the original destinations were fantastic. Having said that, the cruise itself was mind blowingly good. The service ...

Having already cruised to Antartica, we want to visit the northernmost city on earth. That meant we would go to Norway. We chose Viking because my wife had a previous Viking cruise and had a fabulous time. I went on this trip with my adult son. We were in an Explorer Suite and it was simply amazing: so large, so well appointed and so comfortable! The food on a Viking ship is so ...

Norway was always on top of our list to visit. The cruise met those expectations. Everything on the cruise itself was excellent. The staff is well trained and as friendly as could be. Food was excellent in the World Cafe and The Restaurant. Wine was very good and the specialties of the day were excellent. There were several evenings with seafood specials. The excursions were well suited to ...

This was our third Viking cruise, our first ocean cruise. We loved it so much that we arranged another Viking Scandinavian cruise while we were sailing. We loved the ship, the crew, the food, and the excursions — everything! The ship is beautiful, with enough space that we could get away from everyone if we wanted quiet, but enough activity that we could feel part of the action. I appreciated how ...

We chose this cruise, because it essentially circled the English islands, including Scotland, Wales, Ireland, and England proper. Since it was a cruise, we only had to pack and unpack once, which is a huge plus. Viking arrange the airfare, which went well even though it was three hops to get to the starting point in Bergen, Norway. At each port, Viking included an excursion without charge, ...

We chose this cruise because we wanted to travel to all the countries in the UK and Ireland. We also wanted to do the pre extension cruise in Oslo and post cruise in London. The Viking Cruise line has staff that are well organized, very accommodating and helpful. Staff was excellent and the shore excursions were well organized and met our expectations. We give special recognition to the ...

I chose to take this cruise with a girlfriend. We both had traveled in the UK before but land based and we had never visited several ports on this cruise, especially the Orkneys, the Shetlands and Wales. The Viking ship experience on the Venus was extraordinary. The service, food and amenities and the exceptional organization of the cruise exceeded our expectations. Did I mention the food? The ...
