Staff is superb in their professionalism and service,always with a friendly smile! Staff Attention to detail is amazing! Staff can remember you name, cabin and details about your preferences. Off shore excursions are ...

I never saw the notice for the Meet and Mingle in the daily happenings in the ship's program although I did see the signs for the get together, but did not know when it was happening. Cienfuegos and Santiago de Cuba were most interesting and more vintage cars than I expected, The ship was perfect, as were the staff and food. Manfredi’s and The Chef's Table were such a treat, as were the many ...

Cuba with luxury was the style on this wonderful ship. The personal touches and finishes provide a visit to a challenged country in grand style. We enjoyed everything on this cruise; however, the highlight was Havana cruising down the streets in vintage auto. The history of the chalenges faced by this 3rd world country are daunting. Many guides were willing to share their life experiences ...

I have traveled on many cruise lines, and Viking is my favorite. Many things are included in the price of the trip, so it may seem more expensive, but the value is good. For example, umbrellas are available for personal use as needed. On the ocean cruise they were in our cabin. While on a river cruise, the staff stood at the gangway and handed them out on rainy days. Bottled water is provided ...

I wanted to see the Amazon and experience the environment. The tours were as described and the highlight was the Manaus rubber museum & Indigenous village. Our guide was excellent and the boat crew was efficient and concerned about our safety and experience on the tour. The entire Viking crew was very responsive to our needs and were always friendly and pleasant. If something was needed a ...

Interesting destination! Not often one gets to sail the Amazon River. More stops and/or longer stops would have been good. Disembarkation from the ship went well, however, we were dropped off at the airport terminal seven hours before our flight and could not check in with American Airlines until four hours before our flight. There was no place to sit except on the floor of the terminal ...

We booked the "day before" in Miami and enjoyed exploring on our own, as well as the included tour (of Miami). The hotel was lovely and the included breakfast was very convenient. Embarkation was easy. On the ship, everyone was equal and entitled to the same amenities - no one was "platinum" or "elite". All passengers had access to unlimited wi-fi and laundry facilities were free and easy to ...

Always wanted to visit the R Amazon, and this was our chance - from February to March 2018 - to celebrate a major Wedding Anniversary. This was clearly noted somewhere, because one evening, in Manfredi's restaurant, a group of waiters came to our table to present us with a beautiful cake and wish us a Happy Anniversary! a bottle of Champagne was put in our stateroom! that really is service...! ...

Viking Ocean does a top notch job. Embarkation was a breeze. No lines. The customer service was exceptional. The food was excellent. The buffet served pretty much same food as main dining so was nice to have that option. Ate at Manfredi's several times as the food was so good (warning - portions are big!) The Chef's Table was really good - ate there for the Asian and Italian evenings. Really good. ...

We choose this cruise because it traveled down the Amazon River and through the Caribbean. This trip didn't start well. An ice storm prevented us from arriving in Miami in time to catch the ship. Viking met us at the airport. Arranged transportation to a nice hotel in Miami. A representative was with us at the hotel to answer questions and keep us informed about catching the ship at its first ...
