Viking Ocean Rome (Civitavecchia) Cruise Reviews

We wanted to go to Italy to visit my spouse's ancestral home, so we booked the Italian Sojourn on Viking and included a pre-package that allowed us to go to the village. This trip was while Viking and Italy had strict Covid policies. Viking did everything they could to make us safe and comfortable in dealing with the restrictions during the pre-package, cruise and post-package to Verona and Lake ...

We took this cruise to fulfill a bucket list item. We committed a year prior to the cruise, and planned all the port explorations during that time. Covid was just beginning to lift, so there were many conflicting requirements between the airports, the airlines, the hotel and the cruise company. There were ample cruise staff to help interpret the requirements, and to get us through the ordeal. ...

This cruise was originally called: "Cities of Antiquity & The Holy Land" and was renamed merely "Cities of Antiquity" after Israel and Cyprus were removed from the itinerary. We had a wonderful time and saw some truly remarkable sites. The ports of Pompeii, Heraklion, Rhodes, Malta, Turkey, Athens, and Santorini were beautiful and filled with so much history. Boarding We flew into Rome, ...

This wonderful Viking cruise was over Christmas and New Year's. We began by sailing down the west coast of Italy down the Amalfi coast to Sicily. The people on the Sky were wonderful. The ship was decorated beautifully with Christmas trees, gingerbread houses, sparkling lights and all. Then we sailed to Greek islands and Athens and Ephesus and Turkish delights. It was a trip of a lifetime. My ...

We actually had two voyages on the Viking Sky in 2021--one to Iceland and one to the Mediterranean. We always choose Viking because we like the relaxed atmosphere and the inspiring and educational excursions. Local tour guides are extremely knowledgeable and fun to tour with. The crew is outstanding---friendly, attentive and fun. And the food is always delicious. We enjoy the ...

We chose this cruise to visit more European sites and we liked the itenerary. The Viking Jupiter is an exquisite sailing vessel and has all the amenities your could ask for. The staff is attentive and helpful but while still giving you space and privacy. The food is 5-star quality. The nightly entertainment was diverse and well performed. We enjoyed the on-board NASA scientist and his nightly ...

We went on a cruise 30 years ago and swore we would NEVER cruise again. We heard wonderful things about Viking and decided to give it a try. We are so happy we did. From the time we boarded the ship to the last step off, everyone was wonderful. Our cabin steward, James could not have been more attentive. We dined in all the restaurants and enjoyed each one. We did select the Silver beverage ...

This was our 3rd Viking Cruise and it did not disappoint. It was so great! The Viking Staff members in each and every phase of the cruise are friendly and polite and excellent at their jobs. The food is always delicious and the excursions run like clockwork. Viking takes special care to hire the best excursion guides, most of whom have first-hand knowledgr about whatever country we are in. Our ...

Excellent cruise, just as expected from Viking. Everytime we cruise, the service, food is consistent! Wonderful New Years Eve party and incredible brunch New Years Day, including an omelette and pasta station. We really enjoy relaxing in the restaurant as well as eating at World Cafe. We love that at World cafe you can order steaks, etc and they are made fresh as you wait. Embarkation was ...

This was our very first cruise of any kind, having been an owner of a sailboat. We thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the cruise. We had been watching PBS for years, always seeing the ads for Viking River Cruises. And we were pleasantly surprised how much we enjoyed this cruise. We kept looking for a great deal. When one came online, we jumped at the chance. The ship was impeccably clean. ...
