We wanted to experience six uninterrupted days at sea to unwind and enjoy the food, the lectures, and the ambiance aboard ship. Viking didn't fail us - it was the best experience we've ever had cruising. We particularly enjoyed the fascinating lecturers with topics ranging from World War II Atlantic submarine warfare, to Antarctic explorers, to world-class ocean rowing; first-run movies each ...
I chose this cruise because it left from Miami where I live. The ship is beautiful and is keep extremely clean in all areas. Service in all area were polite, pleasant and happy to help in any way needed. I was a single traveler so my cabin was quite comfortable. For two people I think the drawers are not adequate.Shower was exceptional hot water whenever needed.The Manfredi's restaurant was the ...
We have sailed transatlantic six times, this was the best experience in many ways. The five lecturers kept us busy two or three times s day with history, ecology and sports talks.
Athens crew was friendly, helpful, professional, informal, consistant. The food was excellent in all venues. There is no extra charge for the two specialty restaurants,
The public spaces are comfortable with many ...
I really wanted to go to Cuba and a cruise was the easiest way to get there. I chose Viking because they spent the most time in Cuba and I could take a bus trip across the country and see Havana (it docks in Cienfuegos).
The ship was wonderful. Food was amazing, room was clean and well appointed (even a little spacious by cruise standards), staff was friendly and well trained, tour guides were ...
My Husband and I just finished our Viking cruise to Cuba.
It was amazing!
We started from Newark New Jersey to Miami with no problems.
We were picked up at the airport and were taken to the port with zero problems.
Check in took 5 minutes and went straight to our cabin 6063.
Cabin was very nice and great location. One floor up to pools, pool grill, World cafe, and bar.
We were ...
I am not typically a cruiser, but chose this cruise because it was going to Cuba and only Cuba. Other cruise lines would stop in Cuba, but would go to other destinations.
We were supposed to dock in Cienfuegos and Santiago de Cuba, but due to weather we could only dock in Cienfuegos so we received an extra day at sea (Viking did provide me with a small credit for missing part of the itinerary ...
I spent a career in the Navy and always wanted to see Cuba from the other side of the minefield! Viking did its usual incomparable job in providing lifelong memories. Their customer service is simply the best. From embarkation to departure everything was perfect.
Having sailed Viking Star in the baltic, we knew the ship well. Although Star is one of their older ships, she was so clean and ...
We choose this cruise because we wanted to see Cuba before cruise ship travel there was curtailed. This was our first ocean cruise with Viking and comparing it with other cruise lines we had been on we found the smaller Viking ships to be by far the better choice. Being 1 900 rather than 1 in 4000+ passengers makes a big difference. The ability to get into smaller ports and not having a port ...
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary and the amount of time visiting Cuba.
We toured Cienfuegos, Trinidad, Havana and Santiago de Cuba. All the tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and cautious for our safety.
The ship was spotless, the crew always friendly and sincere no matter when and where.
Embarking the ship's tenders was done with ease. The were more concerned for ...
The destination and sale price of this cruise sold us on the sailing. We have heard about the great reputation of Viking and we were looking forward to traveling to Cuba on this ship. I write a travel blog, Simply Travel Abroad, and I wrote a very detailed article about this wonderful experience. My husband, who is a scientist and lectures around the world, was particulary impressed with the ...
