Viking Ocean Bergen Cruise Reviews

We went in search of the Northern Lights, which we saw briefly, but discovered so many magical worlds. Before embarking on a Northern Lights cruise you need to understand the reality of searching for the Northern Lights (it’s not like social media would lead you to believe) and adjust your expectations. Still, the hunt is exciting and completely worth it. You’d be hard pressed to do better than ...

REVIEW FOR VIKING VENUS THROUGH CRUISE CRITIC This is our fifth journey with VIKING CRUISES, but this is our first time to try an Ocean cruise. My husband and I sailed the Bordeaux wine river cruise in 2017 with friends, the Danube and Rhine Christmas market river cruises in 2019 and 2021 to celebrate my birthday, the Lyon and Provence river cruise with friends in 2022. We thought River ...

I was very impressed with your superior service and staff. The food was outstanding and alway felt it was fresh. The best place to eat was The Restaurant. They also had the best and friendliest staff. I was greeted with a smile and even excellent recall of my favorites! I was not impressed with Italian restaurant service. The staff we encountered at our meal was difficult to understand. She was ...

I chose this itinerary for our anniversary pretty much to see the Northern Lights. While I would have loved to have seen more colors, more times, we did witness the lights and it is difficult to put the feelings into words. It's just ethereal. Somehow each siting during our trip happened while on the ship. Even so, the evening (paid) excursions we went on - in hopes of seeing the lights away from ...

This was a cruise in search of the northern lights (more later on whether we found them)- a bucket list trip which we had been looking forward to doing as our other experience on Viking Ocean had been positive despite a rather last minute revising of our itinerary. This cruise was scheduled to start in Bergen, Norway and end in Tilbury, England- ah, the best laid plans and all that. Our cruise was ...

Well, we are back from our Viking “Search for the Northern Lights” cruise and as I had promised to provide a description of this trip, I thought I had better do so before my memory fails me. In brief, it was a very memorable journey and one that we do not regret having taken, despite numerous challenges presented by the January weather in that part of the world. Our vacation got off to an ...

We chose this cruise to see areas we have not previously visited. For two weeks, we were pampered royally, fed deliciously, entertained in a variety of ways, educated in areas pertinent to our travels, and toured comfortably and informatively. The attention to detail by all the staff was second to none. We especially enjoyed the variety of foods and the opportunity to eat in different ...

We booked the cruise a little over a month before we sailed. It was the best thing we ever did.. My wife contacted a travel agent and they managed everything. The ship was great. Clean, well built and well laid out. Everything was spotless. It was easy to find your way and find what you wanted. The cabin was also spotless. It was a joy to stay there. The cabin steward was very proficient, ...

We wanted a trip with interesting ports, not too many sea days, and a medium sized ship. This fit the bill. The ship itself is wonderful! Even our lower-priced stateroom had a small balcony. It was comfortable, well appointed and conveniently located. There were plenty of comfy spaces to hang out on the ship with a book or a drink, or both. I loved the infinity pool! It's small, but very ...

We had previously taken an eight day cruise of the Mediterranean with Viking. That cruise was the first cruise we had ever taken. We were so happy and impressed by that cruise, that we decided we wanted to do another, but for a longer duration, as soon as it was over. We chose the Trade Routes of the Middle Ages for our second cruise based on the ports visited (we love all of Europe, but ...
