Viking Ocean Romantic Cruises Reviews

Iceland has been on my travel wish list for awhile but the need to drive on possibly dangerous roads deterred me. When I saw the Iceland cruise in the Viking catalog, I knew my trip was about to happen. The voyage starts and ends in Reykjavik, making airlines easy. We circle the island clockwise, stopping in 5 additional ports including 2 in the Arctic Circle. Better yet, my dates included the ...

We travel with a group of neighbors and take a cruise every few years. We've done the Mediterranean, Baltic, European rivers, and Norway previous to this Iceland cruise. Three of our cruises have been with Viking - our preferred cruise line. This Iceland cruise was wonderful! The weather was terrible, but the people and the countryside were fantastic. Although the Viking Star is one of the ...

I have taken many Viking River cruises but this was my first ocean cruise with Viking and it did not disappoint. Although this elegant ship holds more than 900 passengers, it was easy to navigate and there were no long waits for service anywhere.Speaking of service, it was above and beyond my expectations. The mostly South Asian crew was outstanding in every way.Everyone was eager to make sure we( ...

We booked early when the stateroom availability was good and the cost low. Viking gives you options to suit every travelers wishes. The food (as with most cruises) was outstanding. On board there is really too much to do. Iceland, as a destination, is a must see for any traveler. Well organized excursions with native guides. There could have been more time spent in Reykjavík to see the major ...

We visited Iceland to observe the awesome geology of this beautiful country. The excursions are quite long given that the major sites are quite a bit separated, so the return to the boat was even more enjoyable. We found the RESTAURANT just as enjoyable as the special restaurants, but that's just a matter of taste. This was our first time on a Viking Ocean ship -- amazing how the vibe can ...

Our first Viking cruise (17th overall cruise with multiple vendors, global-wide destinations, and 7-35 day durations). We found this to be the most complete and comfortable cruise experience with have had--engaging passengers, superbly attentive crew, amazing food, comfortable room with balcony, rarely a sense of a crowd especially in public spaces, seamless embarkation and disembarkation ...

We chose this cruise because of the varied and interesting itinerary. Our only concern was which clothes to pack because of the different weather extremes we expected, but turned out the weather was perfect everywhere. Since Viking supplies convenient self-service laundry facilities, turns out we overpacked and next time we will be more judicious. This was our third Ocean cruise (10th overall on ...

Because of the unique and amazing itinerary, we truly LOVED this cruise! Sailing to all of the very different ports made for a very interesting experience and one that we will never forget. The crew was great, especially the cruise director, Aebhin O' Neill and Jonny the assistant cruise director (don't recall his last name). The entertainment was top notch, especially the 4 Viking vocalists and ...

The itinerary was a huge draw for me. So many places I'd never been topped off by Iceland and mixed with lovely visits to old favorites. Plus it was my first Viking cruise and a friend had raved about it. My only other cruise experience had been the Caribbean with island and Mexico stops. Not really my cup of tea, large ships, lots of partying and the constant ding ding ding of the casino. ...

Incredible service and staff, thoughtful excursions, DELICIOUS onboard food. From the second we got on the ship, to the moment we disembarked, we were treated with white glove service from every staff member we encountered. The range of excursion options would fulfill every single desire a person may have, and the organization at each destination was impressive. The food at the buffet was ...
