Viking Ocean Bergen Cruise Reviews

We were looking for a cruise that would allow us to see a variety of Fjords and Scandinavian cities. We checked other cruises and cruise lines and ended up going with Viking because the itinerary offered a good combination. We had sailed with Viking on a River Cruise and wanted to try their Ocean cruises. Our room was a deluxe veranda which was fine. The bathroom was roomy with heated floors, ...

We had taken two River Cruises with Viking prior to this Ocean Cruise. We were interested in trying the bigger ship and interested in the Scandinavian region and the Baltic Sea region seemed like a good fit. Norway was stunning and we enjoyed our brief time in Bergen very much. The fjords were breathtaking but passed much too fast. We could and would have liked staying in Norway at least a day or ...

We chose this cruise because it was offered by Viking, was a smaller ship, stayed overnight in the beginning and ending ports and visited ports in Scandinavia while excluding Russia. We did not wish to fuel the Russian economy. We had been on one Viking River Cruise so were inclined toward Viking for our first ocean cruise. Our cruise was only 11 nights but apparently the cruise continued to ...

I spent years researching how we could visit the Baltic taking a cruise. Viking came out the winner and we were not disapointed. Nelson looked after our well designed cabin so well and always welcomed us with a cheery smile. She was a lovely looking boat and you rarely felt crowded. The musicians were excellent and set a soothing tone. The feeding choices were varied if a little bland and the ...

We did mostly eat at the World Cafe (amazing sushi and crab legs), we did also enjoy Manfrettis and the Restaurant a few times. We also did use room service. The food was wonderful. No complaints. I cannot eat gluten and I was completely taken care of. I felt safe and appreciated the extra care they went to. Our room was a delight. The bed was comfy and for us we felt spoiled with having ...

Our Viking Ocean cruise began in Bergen Norway and ended in Stockholm Sweden. Doris and I have traveled often together but neither of us had been to the countries included in this cruise. One main reason I chose this cruise was the chance to see Rembrandt's "the Return of the Prodigal" at the Hermitage in St. Petersburg Russia. We were originally scheduled for this trip in June of 2018 with a ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Itinerary is great and you will see spectacular scenery in Norway. Unfortunately, with any cruise you can't control the weather which is really important if you want to see the Northern Lights. We were glad we were able to see the Northern Lights but somewhat disappointed in the color and brightness due to most of the nights being cloudy. Also, cameras really pickup more color than the naked ...
