Viking Ocean Romantic Cruises Reviews

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 ...

This was to be our 25 year wedding anniversary trip in 2020. Then COVID happened so Viking rescheduled twice and we delayed another year to be back to as close to “normal” no masks or daily testing, as possible. We had a wonderful time. Over the delays we upgraded our room each time so we’re blessed to have Jr suite. It was so nice and comfortable. Our room stewards were fantastic. Having ...

I chose this cruise because going to Italy was on my "bucket list" and being of Italian descent, I wanted to see this beautiful country. The Italian Sojourn itinerary allowed me to visit several areas of interest in a short period of time. I was unaware that this was the second leg of a 3-week journey and the third leg, which ends in Barcelona, also visits additional ports in Italy. Had I ...

We have been on 3 Viking River Cruises and they were fabulous. I had so hoped Viking could recreate this magic on their ocean cruises. I have to say I was slightly disappointed. On the river cruises Viking has thought of every detail, but this does not always translate to the ocean experience. For example, we had 150 people arrive at a small town at the same time. With 4 buses it would have ...

This cruise was going to places I was very much wanting to visit. The overall experience was excellent. One issue I have is that I called Viking multiple times to ask about Covid vaccine requirement and was told absolutely we must be vaccinated, it is also on their website. We spent a total of 12 hours driving back and forth to get a NON MRNA vaccine from the company Novavax. When we arrived ...

This was our second Viking cruise, but our first Viking Ocean cruise. We have also gone on several cruises on larger ships with other companies. We certainly enjoy the smaller Viking ships. This itinerary was perfect for us, starting in Venice, with stops in Split, Dubrovnik, Kotor, Corfu, and Olympia, before ending in Athens. Each stop was unique with interesting, informative, and well-organized ...

We went on our first Viking cruise in Nov 2022 after an extensive research. It was a Christmas River cruise on the Rhine river and we had a fantastic time. We were so impressed by the Viking team that we booked an ocean cruise with Viking for April 2023 (this cruise). This Iconic Western Mediterranean cruise started without a hitch from the airport pickup to checking into our stateroom. Once we ...

I had never taken a "repositioning cruise" before. I chose it based on the fact that it was 14 days and rather inexpensive, and because it only had two port stops. My travel partner and I both love life on board ship and the port stops are not particularly something we need. This cruise was jam packed with so many things to do on board with lectures, and dance lessons, Trivia, games, shows ...

This was out first time on a Viking cruise and there was lots to love but some disappointments. We are in our late 60's and have mostly cruised on Celebrity. We were looking to try a smaller ship, got a great offer from Viking and wanted to see the Panama Canal. A few observations: The Ship and Cabin: - the ship is beautiful with a refined elegance, lots of lovely spaces both inside ...
