Viking Ocean New York (Manhattan) Cruise Reviews

Soft rolling waves making their way towards us and the sun is faintly peaking through the misty horizon this early morning as if it shares the sleepiness many sentient beings must be feeling now. I am relaxed knowing there's nothing we need to do today except relax and enjoy as we sail the Atlantic, northeast towards Iceland. Comfortably sitting in an armchair with a cup of coffee, facing the ...

The Saturn is the newest ship in the Viking cruise ship fleet. The ship is beautiful and pristine. The staff aboard ship provide excellent service and seem to be in a permanent state of happiness. Very crew member I encountered greater me with a smile and a “good morning or good evening or have a good day. The food choices were almost endless. The quality of food was excellent in all of the ...

We were greeted at Newark Airport by two men who handled our luggage and walked us out to the curb where a driver in a large van met us and drove us to the Hudson River pier. Easy peasy. And the cruise got better, if possible, from there. The crew was incredibly kind and helpful and friendly. Because of ice in the waterways, we were unable to to to Newfoundland (on my bucket list for ...

June 2023 - My wife and I have been on numerous cruises (27+) throughout the world on various cruise lines over the years. This was our sixth cruise with Viking but our first Ocean Cruise; the previous River cruises were in China, Egypt, Portugal/Spain, Paris to the Swiss Alps and the Grand European Tour. The Canada, Greenland, Iceland to Norway Ocean Cruise started in New York on June 7, 2023. ...

This is a 10 day cruise between New York City and Montreal. There are wonderful places to explore along the way with just a couple of very relaxing days at sea. From beautiful Quebec City, to Nova Scotia and Boston Massachusetts, the adventures never disappoint. The sail into New York Harbor is something everyone should experience, it is absolutely spectacular. All the crew and guests were ...

It should be mentioned right away that Viking clearly caters to a very small demographic of elderly clientele. My wife and I and the other couple that we travel with are healthy, active 60 year-olds and we felt that at least 90 percent of the other passengers were much older than us. We've taken previous Viking River cruises and, overall, really enjoyed them. Unfortunately, the things that we did ...

Having sailed with a number of cruise lines, my husband and I prefer the serenity, dignity, and quality offered by Viking. Two months prior to this September 2022 cruise we had taken a family cruise with Royal Caribbean, and the differences between RC and Viking were stark. The Royal Caribbean cruise, while fun for the younger crowd in our group, was loud, frenetic and boisterous, and the ...

We booked this cruise for several reasons, but we did have a large credit from a covid canceled cruise and needed to use it soon. The itinerary was interesting and our daughter and grandkids live in Connecticut. We had sailed Viking once before and this cruise was great like the first one. Staff was friendly and hardworking. Ports were fun! Captain and crew had to work around our big ...

Viking is our cruise top pick. We loved the ship and it's crew. Included tours need some work. Stops on the buses were poor, Dominica and Tortola were excellent. I understand some of the islands were destroyed during the hurricanes but more beach scenes or longer stops are needed. Not enough time to enjoy the views. This is our 3rd Viking Cruise and the included shore excursions were ...

We chose this cruise to firstly explore New York for a couple of days before embarking on a wonderful trip to Bermuda and the Virgin Isles. Our dining experience was always excellent wherever we ate, as the service and choice of food was excellent throughout the ship. Our cabin was great and so were our stewards, who catered for our every need. The ship was spotless in every area and the ...
