Review of Viking Sky 2023/24 World Cruise.
For 4 months per year my wife and I have been avid cruisers. Firstly 18 with Azamara, but since their sad decline we switched to Viking. Now with 8 completed, and enjoyed, it was sad to see how far Viking standards have fallen. We found this on our recent segmented 2 legs on this world cruise. This was after we were initially notified that we were ...
We took this cruise because we had a voucher we received from Viking due to previous covid related planned river cruises. We had previously taken three Viking River Cruises which were excellent. Organization was outstanding; communication with passengers also excellent; excursions were great. Naturally, we expected the same on an ocean cruise however, that turned out not to be the case. ...
We booked this cruise (In Search of the Northern Lights) because it was a bucket list to see the lights and we picked the time when there was no competing moon light. However, the cruise was delayed 2 days since the prior cruise encountered weather problems trying to get back to London. Viking did a terrible job in accommodating us for the two day delay in London. The hotel they put us up at was ...
Thank you, krow13, for sharing your experience with us. Your kind words about our onboard staff are truly a testament to their dedication to your comfort. While sometimes adjustments are...
We took this cruise with the intention of seeing the Northern Lights, which we did. This was our third cruise with Viking and they do a great job in taking care of their passengers. The boats are immaculate and the food is excellent.
On the cruise, the second half of the cruise, and our planned excursions, were cancuelled due to weather. Consequently, we were unable to see planned areas and ...
We appreciate you sharing your experience, ChuckB57, although it is regrettable to hear of your disappointment. While sometimes adjustments are necessary to preserve the integrity of your...
As a solo traveller and first time cruiser, I did a lot of research before I chose this cruise. I was impressed that Viking included so much and that it had a good reputation for its crew, destinations, and for its food. The crew were all wonderful especially as I was very sea sick for the first two days. Unlike other times when I have been seasick this took me days to recover. Whether it was ...
We booked the “Into the Midnight Sun” itinerary aboard the Viking Jupiter, a new ship. The draws were ports of call in the Orkney and Shetland Islands, as well as in Honningsvåg, Norway, above the Arctic Circle.
We had taken a Viking River Cruise (Danube) a couple of years ago and really had enjoyed Viking. Their ocean cruise, however, was horrible – ½ of the ports were impacted (2) or ...
Nice but nothing special. Food was OK. The “special” menus were no better than the regular ones. No enrichment activities. The fitness room was small and poorly equipped.
We had better previous experiences with Viking but we were particularly disappointed with the company after this cruise because they treated us so badly when we tried to book the next one, which we have now ...
Your review is very much appreciated, BillandBeth, as feedback from returning guests such as yourselves allow us to reassess our offerings for future improvements. That said, we regret to...
My wife and I have cruised many times with Celebrity and always received 1st class service. We have completed many of the popular cruises more than once so was looking for alternative itinerary's. We booked an Explorer Suite with Viking (similar price to a Penthouse with Celebrity) expecting a premium cruise experience but how wrong we were. We opted for the flight and cruise package just in case ...
Thank you for the detailed overview of your first Viking ocean voyage, pilotandy. Although we regret to hear about your dissatisfaction with the stateroom, service and shore excursions, we...
Chose for Northern Lights/Arctic Circle Itinerary. Ship was beautiful and was very impressed at first. We selected a Deluxe Balcony Stateroom and it was quite small. There was not enough hanging space. Fortunately we knew enough to bring magnetic hooks or it would have been a worse mess. The food was average and the service was average at best. Some people were great, like our room steward. ...
We appreciate the opportunity to respond to your review, kmick1922, though we regret to learn your time aboard Viking Sky did not meet the expectations set by your previous Viking river...
We booked back to back Mediterranean cruises, Dec 30 2018, and Jan 6 2019. We were attracted by the itinerary, and the wonderful reviews of Viking. The itinerary turned out to be misleading, and Viking appeared to suffer from institutional disorganization and generally poor food and service..
Ports - After paying in full soon after booking, which is a Viking requirement, we discovered that the ...
We appreciate this opportunity to learn more about your back-to-back voyages, Cadorina, and thank you for your review. We are pleased to learn that you found our ship’s aesthetics excellent,...
