We just returned from the most incredible cruise of the western Mediterranean on the Viking Saturn! The ship was luxurious, clean, well staffed and very well organized. We stayed in a Penthouse Veranda suite which was spacious and so comfortable. The bed was perfect and we had no trouble sleeping, especially with the very effective and attractive blackout curtains. Our favorite food venues were ...

The ship was very comfortable and clean. The staff was very pleasant, and the customer service was outstanding. The spa was incredibly difficult to get an appointment in with their limited staff. The two exclusive restaurants were only easily accessible to those that had larger suites. Me and my traveling companions are incredibly nice tippers so we were able to enjoy extra visibility by the staff ...
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. ...
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.

I rarely give a review and definitely not a "firewalled positive" review like this one! We chose this cruise to celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary. It exceeded our expectations in every way. What we appreciated the most were the genuine interactions with all the staff and crew. We tried to get to know the staff that we saw often and were grateful that they shared how much they enjoyed their ...
This was our first ever ocean cruise and our second Viking cruise (the first was a wonderful Viking River Cruise on the Rhine), and we couldn't have been happier! Our cabin was lovely and spacious, with a big balcony; the food was delicious (fantastic variety and so many great venues to choose from -- we had some of the best sushi I've ever had and the desserts were fantastic); the entertainment ...
We had cruised with Viking once before on the Rhine River Cruise and loved it! We chose this cruise because of the ship size, the leisure travel itinerary and the final stop at Stonehenge. We were so happy with everything -- the greeting at the airport when we arrived, the cleanliness of the ship, the food, the service, the entertainment, the availability of relaxation opportunities -- seating ...
