Viking Ocean Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

First time on a Viking cruise. We've been on others, but this experience was definitely notches above the others. Food was great, and their attention to customer service was exceptional. Our cabin was great. We felt like we were in a high end hotel. The staff was very attentive and made sure we we were well taken care of. They also do a great job coordinating the excursions. There are various ...

Nice ship, new, intelligent design, great staff from top to bottom, great food, well organized. Uneven educational opportunity, some excellent, some less so. Excellent overall cruising experience. That said, cruising is a lifestyle and subculture which is either in your blood or not. In our case, not. This is a matter of personal preference - we will probably not pursue cruising further - but his ...

We have cruised on other Cruise Lines, however this trip was our first Viking Cruise. Our experience was first class from the time of check-in to leaving the ship. The ship itself is absolutely beautiful with many extra amenities for passengers. The Nordic Spa is a must visit while on board, grab a new friend and go relax. The upgraded "Silver Spirits" package is well worth the money, if you ...

Viking and their entire staff, from booking, to choosing excursions far exceeded our expectations. ‘My Viking’ app creates a nearly seamless way to handle all of our details. The cruise itself was a joy from start to finish with every detail handled. I am thrilled to highly recommend Viking to everyone. Our cabin was spacious and provided everything you could possibly want. One of the ...

Getting to Venice was a long travel day. Viking had a guide to escort us through Heathrow and given our short layover there it was a lifesaver. Viking had representatives at the Venice airport to gather everyone together and to the buses to transport us to the ship. Checking into the ship was a breeze. We took a break and had a late lunch as the crew brought our luggage up to our cabin. ...

We always wanted to make a trip to Europe to visit all the beautiful countries we’ve only heard about. This was a lifetime trip for us and we heard such good things about Viking from friends and coworkers. We choose Viking because they were able to handle every aspect of the trip from point A to Z. Since we never traveled this far to countries outside of the US we felt safe in allowing Viking plan ...

Viking is an exceptional cruise line in so many ways. The ship was immaculate - rooms are cleaned daily and the turn-down service is nice. the friendly staff get to know your names. The port talks were interesting and well-Dione, and the educational lectures enriched the journey. The excursion options are broad — there are many to choose from, and always one is included in the price of the cruise. ...

TLDR: This cruise was amazing and we're so glad we did it! My husband and I had never really traveled internationally together, and never on a cruise. However, we really liked the idea of seeing a lot of places without having to deal with making all the arrangements ourselves, so we thought we'd give cruising a try. We are a little younger than the usual Viking cruiser (39/43), but we decided ...

The ship is beautiful. There are lounges scattered throughout with books, historical items, games and puzzles. Afternoon tea is fabulous. The Explorer’s Lounge was our favorite spot. The covered pool was very nice. The food was good, but there was not a lot variety. It seemed to be the same menu in the regular restaurant and the buffet and nearly everything repeated very night. Manfredi’s was ...

Previous experiences with Viking was extremely positive. We had been on River Cruises, this was the first time on an ocean liner. Though it was off season, the weather was very pleasant other than one day in Sicily. The service on board the ship was outstanding. Restaurants were plentiful with good choices for the meals. Cabin crew service was outstanding as well. Shore excursions ...
