Viking Ocean Reykjavik Cruise Reviews

I have long wanted to visit Iceland. The itinerary was outstanding. Captain Olav was very accessible and friendly. Having sailed with Viking, I had very high expectations and encouraged another couple to cruise with me. Having high expectations, Viking did not exceed my expectations. The dining offerings were not as superior as my last Viking cruise. Some of the meat was tough and difficult ...

We've been on cruise hiatus since COVID so were excited to board the new Saturn, our first time with Viking. The ship and the food exceeded our expectations. Saturn is sleek, smooth and serene, beautifully designed for peaceful enjoyment, with numerous sitting areas inviting you to relax. The center pool, wintergarden, spa and Explorer’s lounge were warm and comfy—though you're a little ...

We had been on many Viking River cruises but never on a Viking ocean cruise. We were excited to see Iceland while experiencing a Viking ocean cruise for the first time. We found that the included excursions were very basic (e.g., walk around a small Iceland town of 700 people). The excursions that were not complimentary were very pricy, far exceeding what we experienced on Viking river cruises. ...

We heard so much about the beauty of Iceland, so we decided to go see it firsthand with Viking, who impressed us with their River Cruises. The Viking Star was great. Our Veranda stateroom was comfortable and extremely quiet. The service from the staff through the Star was beyond expectations. With our fare we were entitled to specialty dining and found Manfredi’s to be extremely worth our time and ...

I learned a lot about cruising from this experience, my very first cruise. The Viking crew and facilities are first rate. The food was good and the rooms are lovely. If you are an older cruising couple with a lot of resources, this is the cruise for you. You will find many people like you, and the outings and onboard activities will be perfect for you. Not being an experienced cruiser, ...

We’ve always wanted to visit Norway and to cruise across the ocean and the Iceland/Norway cruise was perfect. Viking only visited one port in Iceland but we did arrive early and took a few day trips from Reykjavik. The cruise ship itself did not disappoint as they truly cater to the older crowd. The embarkation process is exceptional and the number of staff involved make it a simple process. ...

Friends and Family had sailed with Viking (both Ocean and River) all with glowing endorsements. Decided to give V/Ocean a go and we were not disappointed until several of our well planned excursions were cancelled. In particular, a scheduled and confirmed by Viking excursion back in April - when the excursion window opened, was snatched back by Viking while we were onboard and sailing our ...

My wife and I enjoyed our trip immensely. We ate way too much, but walked it off on the shore excursions. We have 3 Viking river cruises under our belt so this was our first ocean adventure. I do not want to be negative whatsoever, but we really liked the smallness of the river ships. We would meet someone on the Star and then very likely would not see them again. I know on our river trips ...

We choose this cruise to see Iceland and Norway and we had thoroughly enjoyed our river boat cruise with Viking from Germany to Budapest. The ship was beautiful, clean and the staff tremendous. Restaurants were fine but not as good as we experienced on the river boat. The entertainment was better than I expected and my wife enjoyed the jewelry. We used the fitness center, had massages and ...

Iceland was rated a Stage 3 country right before we left for the cruise. We had Covid tests within 72 hrs of departure. We were tested daily and restricted from going off on our own. We wore masks in the public areas of the ship, on buses, and any time (which was rare) that we were indoors. We wore contact tracing lanyards everywhere we went. There were reminders of handwashing and sanitizing ...
