As expected …service and food were wonderful. The cruise was a unique one. The Amazon River is enormous and you can not appreciate it without seeing it. I would recommend starting from Manaus, Brazil and finishing in San Juan, Puerto Rico if you take this voyage. Seeing the river and culture and then moving to the fun and relaxation of the islands made for a splendid expedition. From bird ...
We went on a river cruise with Viking and the opportunity and time became available to try an ocean cruise.The river cruise would actually my first choice from now on, but the Viking ocean cruise was by far the best ocean one I have ever been on. A 5 for sure, the river cruise was a 5+.The food was always fresh and tasty with care alway on neatness and cleanliness while being presented in such a ...
We wanted a unique trip to somewhere that would be difficult to arrange personally. The Amazon satisfied this requirement. The small ship also was important, since we are not fond of thousands of passengers for travel companions. The staff made our party of eight comfortable in all dining areas. We particularly enjoyed the different relaxing venues and exercise and locker room areas. We arranged ...
Positives:
We are experienced sea and river cruisers. With viking ocean, we have cruised on the viking star, viking sky and viking sea. Our recent cruise on the viking sea was the best of the three ships. The best feature of viking cruises is viking's overall logistical excellence. When they provide the air, you can count on viking to manage all connections or travel disruptions. the viking ...
The Ship did not disappoint. The room was great, our room steward was accommodating and did a great job. The Spa service was a great benefit. Our excursions were interesting, and the on-board lectures and entertainment was top notch. We had a lot of dining choices for a small ship. The cocktail service was great. We were always greeted when we exited and entered the ship. If we had a request ...
The cruise staff was awesome. The ship was very nice and easy to navigate. This is our first Viking Ocean and really enjoyed it. The stops were hit and miss a little but thats not Viking's fault - we signed up to see the Amazon River. I think the Spa also stood out as a great experience and enjoyed the hot to cold. The room stewards were amazing as they stocked our bar, catered to any request and ...
I had been on Viking River cruises and loved them, but this was my first trial of their ocean ship. Previously, I had travelled on much larger ships on the ocean. I was very surprised about how much rocking and noise there was from the movement of this ship. I was very seasick, even with meds. To be honest, my travel companions and most people I met did not experience any symptoms and they loved ...
The Viking Sea is in great condition! All the amenities and features of this beautiful ship worked great. The crew was very attentive, the food excellent, the wine and beer served at lunch and dinner where above average.
The entertainment could have been improved because the sound system was too loud and with too much reverb applied that it did a disservice to the wonderful cast of ...
My review of the Viking Sea…it was bigger than I thought…nearly 900 people. I got spoiled on the other Viking with the River Cruise of only about 150ish…and the Celebrity X which I absolutely loved. The room we had was very worth it size wise…the veranda was nice, the service of the cabin was excellent, and the storage area was HUGE…there were drawers everywhere. I used the laundry for the ...
We chose the Viking Sea for the itinerary and the cruise line. WE chose the penthouse jr suite and loved how spacious it was.
I can't say enough about the food and the service which went far beyond our expectations, as we didn't know what to expect. We had always sailed on much larger ships. The intimacy of the ship, yet the privacy we found when we wanted it was wonderful. Although the age ...
