Viking Ocean New York (Manhattan) Cruise Reviews

We were 3 retired couples traveling together. This was not our first Viking cruise. We have nothing but compliments and zero complaints about the Neptune or the Viking staff. The Neptune is a beautiful ship built and finished in the impressive and beautiful Viking style. The finish and attention to detail was impeccable. It was very quiet and smooth riding. We really liked the smaller size of ...

After paying for a 2 day pre extension and transfers we were left at the airport late at night after a cross country trip. Our flight home was changed by Viking 14 days before departure. I arranged our seats with Viking air prior to leaving as a medical condition required certain seats and I was given seat numbers. When we arrived at airport for trip home Viking had not secured those seats and ...

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 ...

Past experience with Viking was great and this cruise was more of the same. Staff attends to every detail and are always upbeat and welcoming. They take care of everything from the moment they pick you up at the airport until they drop you back at the airport. We ate many of our meals at the buffet. The food was good, but after a couple of weeks it did get to be repetitive. Their organization ...

Excellent cruise line, small ships and the attention to detail whilst on board cannot be faulted, the staff, service, amenities are fabulous, included excursions and wi-fi make it a real winner ! However, if transfer and air travel booked thru Viking be prepared for chaos. No Viking Rep at arrival airport (30 passengers booked Viking transfer to ship) no transfer organised ! ! Quite a wait ...

Chose this itinerary as it included Bermuda We love to visit Bermuda for a couple of days but wouldn’t stay longer so this cruise seemed ideal. The itinerary was fine and all places as expected. We took advantage of the included trips at some of the ports and they were fine by us. We chose this ship hoping for something different as we have been disappointed in recent years with some of the ...

Everyone was so pleasant, always greeting us with a smile and acknowledgement. We had a lot of fun with the staff on our Baggo game. In all of our eatery places, we enjoyed and I believe the staff did as well, the camaraderie with us. Every time we went ashore, the staff had a humorous comment to say, especially with our name being 'Sweet'. We had a tour of the galley and of the bridge. This was ...

This was our first ocean cruise with Viking and we were eager to compare our experience with Celebrity. The embarkation was seamless and very easy. We appreciated the airport transfer to the ship and that was excellent. My first impression of the ship is that it had no real WOW! factor. The ship itself is extremely clean, Norway modern, with every public room looking much the same. I felt that the ...

Close travel, interesting ports, fall colors, enjoy seeing the USA, liked the historic ports, wanted a Canadian overview, we like the inclusive nature of the ship. It was nearly oversold and you could tell with lines at buffet, long waits for dinner service, and crowds on deck that are not usual. Staff was just a bit less friendly or personal. Embarkation was easy, the lack of service at cafe ...

Our friends and we picked this Itinerary because of never being to Bermuda. This was also our second trip with Viking and first on a ocean cruise. We never had a cruise with the type of entertainment that we saw on this cruise. It was truly exceptional in talent and as well as all had a great personality. This included the cruise director and his assistant. The main show room as well as lounge ...
