Viking Ocean Luxury Cruises Reviews

We had sailed with Viking on two river cruises and one ocean cruise. The company did not disappoint. It was a 21 day cruise with sites selected for cultural interest and history. For three of the most populous sites, Rome, Venice and Athens, I would recommend the excursions that involve 'behind the scenes' views, as each city is crowded with tourists, and it's impossible to see the cities ...

I chose this cruise to visit many places that were new to me. The ship facilities and crew were very nice. The food and wines were delicious and varied. I enjoyed dining at the specialty restaurants also. My biggest disappointment was lack of free time to shop after included tours. Because of the distance between the port and city downtown area ( in many ports), it was difficult to get ...

First-time cruisers! We selected Viking as we have several friends who have sailed with them, and they had nothing but rave reviews. Based on those reviews and what we have seen online, we finally had to give it a try. And, it exceeded our expectations! From the time we left the airport until we embarked, everything was taken care of. The meet-up at the arrival airport, the handling of the ...

It included parts of Europe we haven't seen before. My wife has always wanted to see Barcelona which she enjoyed very much. Service and food were wonderful. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the ship especially in our cabin. I was blown away with the quality and professionalism of the entertainers on board and I was glad to be introduced to Mary Jess who I had never heard of. Her voice ...

We chose this cruise to celebrate my 60th birthday. This was our first cruise together and my first one in 20 years, so we weren't sure what to expect. We had an Explorer Suite at the the front of the ship. It was spacious and beautiful - as nice as any 5-star resort anywhere. The bathroom was incredible - heated floors, double sinks, a full bath and separate shower enclosed in glass, creating a ...

Coming from the West Coast, we decided to make the most of our trip to Europe. Going through the whole Mediterranean trip was wonderful. There are too many memories to count. We were able to customize a variety of shore excursions from city to country activities that gave us a feel for each port. Of course, there was so much to do and so little time. We will be looking at our pictures and ...

This cruise was chosen due to the exciting itinerary. We were especially interested in the Normandy Memorials near Le Havre, France; seeing Stonehenge, and Belgium. As always, this cruise came with a nice pre excursion in Oslo with the train ride over the mountain to Bergen. The train trip was awesome. AT this time of the year there was still some snow on the mountains which added to the "WOW" ...

This was our first Viking ocean cruise. Always felt welcome on board. The food and service were top flight. Passengers should tip more generously. With 900 passengers on board, we never felt crowded. There was one instance when we were unable to find 4 seats in a lounge during a pre dinner happy hour. There are a few things that Viking can improve including the restaurant reservation process and ...

This cruise left out of Bergen Norway, to the Norwegian Fjords, Oslo, Denmark, and ending in Amsterdam. We ended up not being able to stop in Denmark because of high winds, so they headed to Amsterdam, and we got two days there instead. We chose Viking Ocean initially because we had heard such great things about them, and we prefer a smaller ship with less passengers. They are more ...

6th trip with Viking as always what Viking has control over is managed in an excellent manor. Ships are spotless and I can say I have never seen a crew member with out a smile. The crew anticipates my needs and never has disappointed me . The crew is responsive to all request and I have always felt welcome. If viking had control of the weather every cruse would even better. The variety and ...
