Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on Viking Mars

This cruise was chosen last minute due to an itinerary change on the Caribbean Amazon cruise I originally booked. I was not happy with the itinerary change offered just 1 week prior to planned departure. Loved the Mars ship and all the variety of areas to sit and enjoy reading a book or playing cards. Nice to be able to find quiet areas to relax! The stateroom was especially roomy with ...

Viking exactly as expected

We originally chose this cruise as Panama Canal was on "Bucket List". Wanted full crossing in original canal. Also, won't go on large ship anyway. (Beware - most of larger ships go through new locks just completed in 2016 - less history). Also, we don't like all of the stuff Viking doesn't have - gambling, hard sells and add-ons. So we decided to give it a try. Here are our thoughts ...

I would have given 5 stars as it was a wonderful experience overall with one major exception. We were supposed to go to Manaus & other stops in Brazil, but the Amazon was at historic low water levels and couldn't be navigated. Instead of rerouting us to a coastal port in Brazil, we were taken to the West Indies. We had visited those islands with Viking the year before, so the repeat stops ...

I love Viking and I love the amenities of their ocean ships. This was my 3rd ocean cruise and I was disappointed in the decline of service in the restaurant, bars, and tea room. Servers either didn’t take my order except after several requests or took my order and never returned or brought only a partial order. I was never asked if I wanted a cocktail in the pool area or lounge where drink ...

Our First Viking Ocean Cruise

Overall, our cruise was very good. We were somewhat surprised at the number of older guests on this cruise. Viking does not control this so there is no blame. It was just that some of the older guests were rude and very “pushy”. Having been on several Viking river cruises, I will admit the food on this ocean cruise did not quite measure up to the quality and variety of food we had on the river ...

This was our first experience with Viking. We had considered a River Cruise for 2024 but changed our minds. Mid summer we received an email from Viking that had several cruises at the end of the year that included International Air. This being a Transatlantic Cruise with a great price. I wasn't sure how we would stay busy for one stretch of 6 days across the Atlantic. We found plenty to do, ...

Our Viking cruise to Central America was very nice. The ship, Viking Mars, was beautifully appointed. The Deluxe Veranda cabins are also nicely appointed albeit a bit smaller than other ships I have been on. The veranda, too, was very small, just chairs, no room for a lounge chair. The common areas a comfortable and the staff could not be more accommodating. They are all so friendly and serve with ...

For a first-time cruiser, the Viking Line exceeded my expectations. The crew were unbelievably friendly, professional and offered exceptional service with class. The ship was beautiful with room to socialize comfortably and meet so many wonderful people who are now friends. The food was excellent with a lot of variety and the cabin was very large and comfortable. The only downside was the ...

Chose Viking because of size of ship, travel itinerary and reputation. Great experience. We will travel with Viking ocean cruises again. Meals in the restaurant, world cafe and two specialty restaurants were marvelous. Port call and other lectures were very informative and entertaining. The silver seas drink package was well worth the expense with very nice premium wines at dinner. ...

It was our first cruise and we will hold all future cruises to this high standard. It did not disappoint and taught us what a cruise should be like.

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

We chose this cruise to experience the Panama Canal and even though the excursions had to be curtailed, we will always remember going through the locks and into the lake and back out. The other ports of call were wonderful and enlightening. The food onboard was beyond what I could imagine and I was happy that I had been on a diet expecting to put on a few pounds. I wasn't disappointed. The ...
