Fort Lauderdale to L.A. Through the Panama Canal. The canal was outstanding and a tic off our bucket list. Everyone should experience this marvel of humankind.
This was our 3rd Viking Ocean Cruise. As always the ship and crew were outstanding. So were the lectures and excursions. But, there were simply too many sea days for us. Not really Viking's fault. One port was closed because of Covid ...
As a package Viking is extremely hard to beat and although value for money is relative to your budget the Viking package is extremely hard to equal let alone beat !
Having cruised with several competitors including the likes of Oceania and Azamara who also major on the premium small ship experience neither manage to better the Viking package as a whole.
If I have any ctiticisms they are ...
We retired in August and took our first cruise in March. We chose Viking because it's adults-only. As a retired teacher, that sounded fantastic! The food was amazing, the shows were fun, and the excursions were educational. The ship was gorgeous and we quickly found "our" spot to relax in the afternoons. We learned that we liked sea days as much as port days.
If you enjoy a younger ...
Viking had been recommended to us by a number of friends and overall this was a very relaxing, intimate and sophisticated 12 days in the Caribbean. The food, service and cabin were excellent. The staff were very helpful and courteous and always attentive. The ship was clean and the decor, as to be expected, was very Norwegian and everything was done with style and quality.
This cruise ...
The trip was chosen because of Viking's excellent reputation for quality which was certainly borne out on board. The ship and all the facilities were all absolutely immaculate and served by a most professional and friendly crew who could not do enough for you to make you welcome. The restaurants provided an excellent choice of really superb quality meals and again, beautifully served. Booking ...
We chose this cruise because we could drive to Ft. Lauderdale to embark and disembark, without having to travel by air, especially over the Atlantic Ocean. The embarkation process was streamlined and quick and we were on the ship in minutes of checking-in. Our cabin, a PV-2 Penthouse Veranda, was spotless and tastefully decorated. Being on the port side of the ship, we Staff were remarkably ...
Having cruised with Viking a few times we took advantage of a last minute discounted offer. We have done this itinerary a few times and enjoyed 2 weeks away in the sun after almost 2 years of Covid.
The only negative about the holiday was the embarkation process which seemed to take forever, we were informed that there had been a number of flight delays resulting in a lot of passengers arriving ...
Actually, this cruise was schedule to be a cruise up the Amazon River. Due to Covid-19, the itinerary was changed to a Caribbean Islands Adventure. Viking was very generous to compensate us for the change of itinerary. As Viking policy, the cruise was for adults and all inclusive. Meals, entertainment, internet, and one shore excursion in each port was included in the price. We opted to use Viking ...
We chose this cruise because the original Amazon cruise was cut short due to Covid. As a result, more Caribbean islands were included, sailing from San Juan, heading south, and then return to San Juan after visiting about 10 islands. While the island landscape became familiar, the excursions were unique and enriching. The tour guides were informative and conscious of the needs of the group, ...
The price was right, no nickel and dime. Excellent food and beverage and passenger capacity were excellent. The excursions included were very good.
The Ship was very clean and comfortable and the staff was excellent. I wish there were more Caribbean music venues and menu items. I shared my experiences with friends and family. My wife and I enjoyed the free roundtrip airfare to Puerto Rico ...
