Wow - just wow!!
All of the food was excellent and lots and lots of variety.
The afternoon tea was awesome.
My room steward was so professional and very helpful. Kept the room in tip=top shape.
The musical offerings were great. I loved the opera in the Theater from the MET in New York.
I saw top ship brass out and about everyday.
There were lots of ports - lots of walking. ...
We knew, but had forgotten that this was a brand new ship and we were the inaugural passenger cruise. I/we cannot rave enough about how great this ship and staff was. It was my first time on a Viking, my friends 2nd (she did a River Cruise prior.) This was supposed to be a cruise that my husband and I were to take together, but unfortunately he recently passed (and my travel partner's husband had ...
We selected Viking because 1) it is a small luxury ship, 2) the modern and new decor, 3) and adults only. The size of ship and number of passengers did not disappoint - we were able to dock in Monte Carlo (rather than tender) and likely better berthing in other ports due to our size. No crowds or waiting in line - there is plenty of space on this ship, and embarking/debarking the ship is a ...
We were referred to Viking by a friend who has been on several river cruises. Initially, we were also interested in a river cruise around May to celebrate a milestone birthday, but the only available cruises were in Northern Europe and we definitely wanted warmer weather. Thankfully, we found a room on the Iconic Western Mediterranean cruise that included a bucket-list destination: Barcelona. ...
Our first Ocean Cruise with Viking was a new experience for us, as we had previously enjoyed two river cruises with them and had an amazing time. The ship itself was flawless, from the staterooms to the dining areas and lounges. We even treated ourselves to a massage, and both had wonderful experiences.
However, I must admit that I was disappointed with the included excursions. In my opinion, ...
Viking Saturn was exquisite! Loved everything about the ship, the rooms, the food, the bars, the entertainment were all fantastic. We were on the maiden voyage so there were some hiccups with service in the dining room, but the staff were all clearly trying hard. The only dissatisfaction of our trip were the excursions. We didn’t seem to have enough time in land. In Marseille our town ...
Excellent new ship!
We just returned from the maiden voyage of the new Viking Saturn and our first Viking Ocean ship on the Iconic Mediterranean cruise. The cruise ship is like you are at a resort with many wonderful things to do and beautiful areas to relax. The interior space is beautifully designed with various things dividing the open space areas with many small areas for conversation. The ...
We can’t say enough good things about our experiences on Viking, both River and ocean!
The staff is super friendly and helpful. Our cabin attendant noticed I ordered a couple of glasses of Chardonnay and made sure we had a bottle in our cabin daily. Christina, always a friendly face, took excellent care of us.
Breakfast was over the top. One suggestion…when ordering eggs, bacon, ...
We've heard good things about Viking and always wanted to go to Italy. This vacation did not disappoint in any way. Viking is phenomenal and pays attention and manages every detail. We were never confused on when and where we should be for excursions and events. The atmosphere on board was so relaxing and I will use the word "mature". Other cruise lines that we have been on turn into a wild ...
This cruise offered a 'Best In Class' vessel with superior personnel and service as well as extraordinary food selection and quality. The vessel size, number of guests on board and guests-to-crew ratio was the perfect combination to ensure that all travelers were able to experience as intimate or as broad a group setting as desired. The large number of open vessel spaces and venues as well as ...
