I know I’m not a seasoned cruiser, but I will tell you this much: I will be back on another Viking ship. Everything was clean, the food was delicious, the staff couldn’t have been better…I seriously can’t think of any complaints. We had a problem with the ports we were supposed to go to (Amazon River was low), but Viking gave us an excellent experience anyway. We even got onboard credit due to the ...
This ship was built with a specific consumer in mind. Wonderful for seniors who want a smaller luxurious experience with no children, good food, great shows, and very attentive staff. It is easy to find a place to sit without having to search hard for an available lounge chair or quiet area to read. Included free access to spa facilities, wine and beer at meals, specialty coffees all day, and ...
This was our first Viking cruise and the best we’ve ever taken. It was pricier than other lines, but well worth the cost, especially as everything was included - the only extras we had to pay for were more expensive excursions, and gratuities at the end of the cruise There was a drinks package you could add but wine with meals was included so we felt no need to add more. There were many options ...
What a trip! This was our first experience on a Viking cruise. The ship was lovely with its truly Scandinavian vibe and decor. Having been to Scandinavia before, we definitely felt the calm, welcoming, warm "hygge" atmosphere on board. There were plenty of quiet spaces, excellent lectures, and beautiful pieces of art, history & culture to explore. The informative shore excursions were a real ...
We enjoyed every aspect of our experience on the Sky. Communication, food, enrichment, entertainment, cruise team, organization, room steward and service - all were very good. The activities offered were varied and inclusive - opportunities for those traveling alone, those in recovery, those of different religious faiths and lifestyles. The staff did a great job of organizing and disembarking ...
Viking gets stellar reviews, which is why I booked this. Perhaps an "off " cruise? Beyond disappointing. Let's be clear; Viking is, in no way, a luxury cruise line.
First the good: the ship is lovely, the food is very good and the crew are wonderful, with the exception of Guest Services. There were so many passengers complaining on this trip, I imagine they felt themselves overworked. They ...
Panama Canal ,our bucket list. Most of the shore excursions were interesting, The ruins in Belize, and seeing Costa Rica , Colon,& Roatan, were ok. ATV s in Cozemel are more our speed. Most of the sites were geared to people with limited mobility. Was hoping to see more religious sites and churches as most of Central America are Catholic.Also most of the guides were very knowledgeable. Would have ...
The wife and I just returned from an extremely enjoyable 10 days aboard Viking Sky, traveling from Ft. Lauderdale to Panama City, Panama. While this was our first ocean cruise in over 15 years, (our previous was on another cruise line), it got us very interested in doing this type of travel more frequently in the future. The crew and staff onboard our ship, to a person, were beyond friendly and ...
Going through the Panama Canal was bucket list item for me, and since we had a great experience on Viking several years ago (Barcelona to Rome) decided to book again.
First all the pluses(and they are mostly pluses)
Viking has top notch customer service, both pre boarding and on the ship. Incredibly friendly staff. Really nice touches like the covered patio area on the upper deck to shade ...
We chose this cruise because Panama Canal was on our bucket list, but I won't go on a ship with over 1000 guests. I was interested in trying viking because we'd already booked an expedition to Antarctica, but mostly, the itinerary and length of the cruise suited me - a full crossing WITHOUT days of sailing up west coast of Mexico, where we've been many times. Also, in the lowest grade cabin, the ...
