Having cruised with Viking a few times we took advantage of a last minute discounted offer. We have done this itinerary a few times and enjoyed 2 weeks away in the sun after almost 2 years of Covid.
The only negative about the holiday was the embarkation process which seemed to take forever, we were informed that there had been a number of flight delays resulting in a lot of passengers arriving ...
As a package Viking is extremely hard to beat and although value for money is relative to your budget the Viking package is extremely hard to equal let alone beat !
Having cruised with several competitors including the likes of Oceania and Azamara who also major on the premium small ship experience neither manage to better the Viking package as a whole.
If I have any ctiticisms they are ...
Viking had been recommended to us by a number of friends and overall this was a very relaxing, intimate and sophisticated 12 days in the Caribbean. The food, service and cabin were excellent. The staff were very helpful and courteous and always attentive. The ship was clean and the decor, as to be expected, was very Norwegian and everything was done with style and quality.

Actually, this cruise was schedule to be a cruise up the Amazon River. Due to Covid-19, the itinerary was changed to a Caribbean Islands Adventure. Viking was very generous to compensate us for the change of itinerary. As Viking policy, the cruise was for adults and all inclusive. Meals, entertainment, internet, and one shore excursion in each port was included in the price. We opted to use Viking ...
We chose this cruise because the original Amazon cruise was cut short due to Covid. As a result, more Caribbean islands were included, sailing from San Juan, heading south, and then return to San Juan after visiting about 10 islands. While the island landscape became familiar, the excursions were unique and enriching. The tour guides were informative and conscious of the needs of the group, ...
The price was right, no nickel and dime. Excellent food and beverage and passenger capacity were excellent. The excursions included were very good.
The Ship was very clean and comfortable and the staff was excellent. I wish there were more Caribbean music venues and menu items. I shared my experiences with friends and family. My wife and I enjoyed the free roundtrip airfare to Puerto Rico ...
This seemed right for us as we have no interest in the big cruise ships. It was about 2/3 full, so never crowded. Staff was wonderful throughout. We asked to be seated with a certain waiter after discovering how excellent he was. They always accommodated us and eventually didn't need us to ask for him.
All the wait staff work multiple locations and we became very familiar with many of ...
We had travelled with Viking before ( in the Baltic Sea, 2019). We love the ambience, the decor and the service levels on all Viking cruises that we have been on. We love the fact that you pay for everything upfront, so that there is no onboard tipping, a daily shore excursion is included, and that there is nothing extra to pay for using any of their excellent restaurants.
The staff are polite ...
We wanted to get away to somewhere warmer that was closer than an overseas cruise. We had an amazing experience; we hadn’t realized how much we missed traveling! The Viking Sea was at 1/3 capacity which was a treat & as usual, the Viking experience was top-notch. We realize the ships will be getting fuller but it was a nice way to ease back into traveling/cruising. Viking’s testing protocols ...
THE Viking SEA was beyond our expectations ...We had a voucher to use from a previous canceled river cruise and did not want to wait until summer to try for another river cruise at the time. I was ready to get back into the travelling world! I was following the comments from previous ocean cruises on the SEA ...and felt comfortable with what I read regarding their procedures with the safety ...
