Viking Ocean Romantic Cruises Reviews

Viking ocean had been recommended by relatives and friends. And their rave reviews were not even strong enough! The ship decor was so subtle and beautiful. There was no over the top gold, no loud music, food was beautiful but not overdone. Shore excursions were fun and interesting especially the tram through the rainforest, the tie dye demonstration,and our catamaran sail and lunch. Our ...

After all the publicity regarding the Viking Sky off the coast of Norway and the impact on the passengers, it appears that it is not widely recognized what happened to us on the Viking Star in early October of 2016. Our captain, and I am sure Viking, went directly in a significant storm when sailing from Iceland to Greenland in the North Atlantic. According to the captain, who I spoke with ...

We took a Viking River Cruise on the Danube in 2013 and have been telling everyone how great Viking is. We were VERY impressed and certainly planned to be lifetime customers. For our next Viking cruise, we booked the Viking Ocean Cruise entitled Passage Through Western Europe. We booked the trip 9 months before going. We were on vacation at the time and so we booked it over the phone. We ...

A MUST READ IS - VIKING STAR REVIEW PUBLISHED 5/18/16 - CALLED "ONLY BOOK WITH VIKING IF YOU ENJOY BEING ROBBED AND KIDNAPPED" We were also lied too, cruise misrepresented, poor or no follow up by customer service, not appropriately advised of the 5 port changes and had we known would have cancelled. no indication ever of the itinerary change and the by weekly catalogs only reflected the ...

This was supposed to be The trip of a lifetime for us. Instead thanks to the unreliable nature of this new ship's propulsion system we were stranded in Tallinn, Estonia only a third of the way through our planned voyage. We booked and paid for this cruise two years ago on the the strength of Vikings's River Cruise reputaion. All I can say is either their river cruise reputation is exagerated or ...

I wish I could divide the review and give separate ratings for the ship experience and the home office customer service experience. We were on the cruise that was terminated 5 days after sailing due to a "engine malfunction." Background: We are Oceania and Azamara customers not river cruisers. Viking Oceans marketing their ocean going operation to compete with this niche market and as a "5 ...

Overall thing wer going well. The television had a tendency to stop and start at random, but that was minor. Crew was efficient and friendly. Food was very good. Leaving St Petersburg noticed that a Costa ship had passed us shortly after leaving port. When we awoke we were not in Tallinn and the Captain announced the engine problem. From there things quickly went down hill. Everything the ...

the ship was great, the workers were great, the food was great. very expensive. can get the about the same trip for a lot less. when we signed up for this trip there wasn't hardly any company doing it. now there are a lot of companies doing this for a lot less. the excurions that they offer as free are the same time as the optional ones that cost nicely. Germany was a long ride in a bus that ...

While the ship was great, the excursions and tours were a great disappointment. I had been on the river cruise and Viking had that down. I told everyone I could how great it was. I had read poor reviews and called, and was assured everything was fine. I went on this trip to see the countries, so the ship niceties weren't as important to me, but the ship was beautiful and staff was very good. ...

Rude disposition food low quality servers not attentive to guests striped suits walk around not connected to guests wine we bought package for better wine BUT they are out of good wine and had to fight for any service attention only paid to comped guests ...
