This was my very first ocean cruise. I had specific requirements in my search for the right cruise. I wasn’t interested in a party atmosphere with loud disco music, I wanted to avoid children running around the ship, and I wasn’t interested in spending time with gambling or casinos. I wanted a cruise with diverse dining options in restaurants that didn’t require me to become best friends with a ...
Husband and I joined his parents for the first Viking Cruise (for all 4 of us). We sailed on the Mediterranean Antiquities journey and had a wonderful time. We picked early morning “upgraded” (paid) excursions with one exception (Monte Carlo, included tour), and our guides hit it out of the park 9/10 trips. The service on Viking is excellent and unobtrusive, and the ship decor and comfort level ...
We were interested in this cruise because we had never been to Greece or Turkey and were excited to follow the journey of the Apostle Paul. We booked a guaranteed verandah cabin and let Viking choose our particular stateroom and were thrilled to have been upgraded to the 6th deck in a lovely midship deluxe verandah cabin. Our stateroom, the service and food and beverage choices and the entire ship ...
We chose this cruise because it was going to the Holy Lands. Unfortunately, we needed to be rerouted due to the current conflict. We decided to stay with the cruise because the rest of the trip would still be memorable, plus going with a group of friends. Malta was a good choice for the reroute. Mdina and Valetta were very interesting cities to visit. Our favorite excursion was Pompeii. ...
We were most excited to choose this cruise because Israel was on route. Disappointed but not to the extent to cancel. Also having experienced a few over the top river cruises we wanted to experience a Viking Ocean.
Other than a few glitches with winter flights and time changes this 15 day cruise was flawless. Of course Viking has a standard of service and amenities that is elevated beyond ...
We chose this cruise because it included 3 days in Israel. Unfortunately, due to the tragic events that occurred on October 7, the 3 ports in Israel were cancelled. Two days in Malta and an extra half day in Cyprus were added to the itinerary. Viking provides a free excursion in each port. We had taken a Viking River cruise and had heard good things about Viking Ocean cruises. The ship was ...
We originally chose this cruise because it was going to Israel of course, due to the violence there, those ports were canceled. we decided to stay on this cruise just to get away. It was our first time on Viking, and we were very pleased. our cabin was very roomy and beautifully decorated. The ship itself is absolutely beautiful. The entertainment was wonderful, and the cruise Director (Matt)was ...
I would like to start out this review with I love Viking! This is our 4th Viking cruise, and we have always had excellent food, excellent service, and great cabins.
Foodwise, on the Neptune we ate in both specialty restaurants, excellent menus and food. The Chefs Table was an incredible oriental set of pairings that we very much enjoyed. Manfredi’s was more than you could eat pure Italian ...
Viking is Fantastic! Need I say more. The friendliness of service both for our cabin and the resturaunts was more than great. Staff remembered our names, which, was very impressive. You asked for something you needed, you got it and right a way. Not hours later. We ate at the speciality resturaunts, the food was as good as eatting at a 5 star resturaunt on shore. The entertainment was impeccable. ...
I've always been interested in taking a Viking River cruise but to be perfectly honest the cost is a bit too high for my pocketbook. When I saw this Ocean Cruise in one of the ads I had been receiving it just seemed too good to pass up. 14 days, including free airfare, excursions at no charge for each port of call, no charge for wine at meals, specialty restaurants with no upcharge was right up ...
