Viking Ocean Bergen Cruise Reviews

Two problems - skipped a key port and challenging for someone with a dairy sensitivity! The itinerary for this trip looked great but we were unable to stop in Edinburgh, one of the main stops we were interested in. We spent the day cruising around the Orkney Islands instead. The scenery was beautiful, but we were really looking forward to Edinburgh. Rumors were that the ship that was blocking ...

For celebrating our 50 th anniversary we chose Viking for it’s high ratings and ideal itinerary. Pros- Ship is beautiful. Embarkation was easy and well organized. Bathroom storage is very good and heated floors with nightlights was great. Food quality was very good. Cabin stewards were excellent. Cons- Guest services- Literally, never gave us the right answer to any ...

This was our third viking cruise, (the first two were euro rivers,) and second ocean cruise ever. I appreciate everything Viking does and tries to be. A quieter, more intimate experience with cultural enrichment and classical entertainment. The loud, roudy ocean liners with casinos, kiddos, and cigarette smoke are so not our scene. Viking ocean cruises are a better compromise for those who ...

After 25 cruises, we thought we'd try Viking due to excellent reviews. We were underwhelmed. Firstly, two important ports were canceled (Edinburgh- another ship unexpectedly remained in the berth reserved for our ship) and Dublin due to poor weather. We received no compensation for port duties and missed excursions; we were offered $500 credit towards a future cruise. The service in the dining ...

Being 25% Swedish/Norwegian, I have been interested in traveling in this area for years. This was my first real ocean cruise, but 6th time with Viking. I prefer the Viking River Cruises. What I liked: The ship is wonderful. It is nicely decorated. There are ample stairs and elevators. We loved our room with a balcony where we could actually sit and enjoy the ocean view. The heated ...

My wife and I chose the Viking Homelands Cruise for our 40th Anniversary celebration. I had had it with extra-large cruise ships and wanted to try something smaller. Viking exceeded all of my expectations. I wanted a cruise where the ship did not feel like a floating shopping mall with casinos, Viking delivered. This ship had no casinos, nor was it filled with shops and hucksters. Viking had ...

We had been on several river cruises, but this was our first Ocean. We were very happy with the Viking River cruise (especially the limited number of passengers) and wanted to try the Viking Ocean as it was much larger but still limited to 900 passengers. We were surprised at how we never felt crowded on the ship, the additional restaurant options were great, and we took advantage of room ...

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, ...

Wonderful itinerary on our first Viking ocean cruise. Very interesting itinerary with several stops at somewhat remote destinations. Great quality shows and entertainment on the ship, with guest speakers and destination highlights during the day. Restaurant selections numerous with excellent food variety, serving many local dishes, all included. Menus were displayed electronically outside dining ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary, which did not disappoint. It was our first time cruising with Viking (but we are experienced with many other cruise lines). It would take a lot of thinking to find fault with the trip. The staff in the Explorer’s Lounge learned our names and drinks before the ship set sail and remembered us every time we visited. Staff in the World Cafe similarly got to ...
