Viking Ocean Bergen Cruise Reviews

they don't tell you that the weather will "probably" stink--1st stop Bergen-now they tell us it's the rainiest city in europe-rain coming down sideways-couldn't get off the tour bus-day 1 wasted-sailing to Alta was fine-decent weather-get toAlta-if its cloudy, which it was-there's nothing there-excursions are expensive but necessary-try the husky ride -its very very good-typical clouds, no ...

We just did nearly a month from 8/2. Our point of view - We have 60-+ days on Seabourn, nearly 100 on Regent and Oceania each and some Holland and Royal. The good - ship is brand new and is well appointed. Lectures and enrichment is good. the rest just isn’t for us - poor service - except for a few exceptions in the Chefs Table. Nobody remembers your preferences, the food repeated after 14 days, ...

This was our third cruise with Viking but will sadly be the last. Viking Mars went into service in 2022 & in some areas are already showing its age - the communal carpet areas are beginning to fade, some of the other high use items such as furniture also showed signs of high wear. Embarkation was chaotic with no one taking charge with the long lines forming which didn't improve entering the ...

We took this cruise because we had a voucher we received from Viking due to previous covid related planned river cruises. We had previously taken three Viking River Cruises which were excellent. Organization was outstanding; communication with passengers also excellent; excursions were great. Naturally, we expected the same on an ocean cruise however, that turned out not to be the case. ...

We took this cruise with the intention of seeing the Northern Lights, which we did. This was our third cruise with Viking and they do a great job in taking care of their passengers. The boats are immaculate and the food is excellent. On the cruise, the second half of the cruise, and our planned excursions, were cancuelled due to weather. Consequently, we were unable to see planned areas and ...

My wife and I chose Viking because it runs smaller ships and after three years without cruising believed this to be a safer option following COVID. This was our first time on Viking after 30+ cruises with other cruise companies. It was probably the worst. We made the decision to sail from Bergen to Montreal and then a second cruise from Montreal to New York 26 days in all. We saw the best and ...

We picked this cruise because of its itinerary - "In the Wake of the Vikings" - a northerly transatlantic crossing, and we had to book it a year and a half in advance because it's only offered once a year. (Although, we found out later that a 2nd Viking ship trailed this same itinerary by several days - so much for Viking's communications - more on that.) We did the 3-day pre-trip Iceland ...

My wife and I have cruised many times in the past. we usually cruise with some friends who decided that we all should cruise the Baltic for our annual cruise in 2019. They chose Viking Ocean cruises, due in no small part to the excellent reputation of which they had read and the fact that what could be better than to take a Scandinavian ship to cruise the Baltic. At the outset, we were ...

My wife and I have cruised many times with Celebrity and always received 1st class service. We have completed many of the popular cruises more than once so was looking for alternative itinerary's. We booked an Explorer Suite with Viking (similar price to a Penthouse with Celebrity) expecting a premium cruise experience but how wrong we were. We opted for the flight and cruise package just in case ...

This was our first Viking cruise. We cruise about 5-6 weeks a year and usually cruise Celebrity but have also enjoyed Royal Caribbean. For a change of pace and because the reviews were good, we decided to give Viking Ocean a try. We booked the 14 night "In the Wake of Vikings" cruise from Bergen to Montreal. Well, let's just say we're not drinking the Viking Ocean Kool-Aid. We do not see the ...
