Viking Ocean Singles Cruises Reviews

I chose this cruise because I wanted to escape from the cold, dreary weather before Christmas. My sister and I took this as a girls trip - we left the husbands and critters at home. The Good: The crew on this sailing were fantastic as were the Officers. Kate Syrett, the cruise director was amazing-though a little bit over the top for my taste. Kate lead exercise classes that were well ...

My spouse and myself cruised around Iceland for a week on the Viking Star. We booked an “Explorers Suite” in the aft section of the ship. This was my seventh cruise but my first with Viking having previously sailed with Cunard, Disney, Carnival and Royal Caribbean. We booked Viking based on its reputation as a premier cruise line. Overall I have to say I was satisfied but underwhelmed. ...

We chose this ship for the itinerary to cruise around Iceland with a smaller ship. We traveled with our two adult children and spouses. It was a treat to have the family together. Ship was beautiful and spacious for the number of people on board 900+. Many places to sit and relax but our favorite was the Explorer Lounge in the front of the ship which is on two levels. The staff was courteous but ...

Good but not very good. The only dining option that avoids the prospect of poor food and sometimes slightly chaotic service is the World Café which is self service and a visible choice of dishes. In other restaurants, the waiting staff are lovely but not fully trained, management make promises they know to be unreliable, wine is insufficiently chilled and food that on occasions is of a quality ...

We had been on a Viking river cruise and enjoyed it so decided to try their ocean cruises. I've been on seven cruises now and would say the Viking ocean experience is only so-so (except for the food which was really quite good). No better than any of the other four lines we've been on really. Talked with other passengers who felt the same. The wine-by-the-glass choices were mediocre, the ...

We wanted to try another 5.5 - -6 star line so we chose this one. The dates and going through the Canal were good for us. The ship is pretty, the cabin was great. The cabin steward was friendly and very helpful. He kept the mini bar filled with the beverages we wanted. The service was poor, we had to wait 30 minutes one night to even get water. The wait staff was working hard, but ...

This cruise started as a river cruise but it was canceled twice so we opted for an ocean cruise. We heard viking was a notch above the rest which turned out not to be true. The cruise started out of San Juan we paid to transfers to and from the airport and were expecting an agent to meet us at the airport, nobody was there and not we are outside the security zone of the airport had to walk around ...

Having heard rave reviews about Viking plus the itinerary, I chose this particular cruise especially because of the Panama Canal passage. The care that was taken because of Covid was exceptional. Spit tests daily, masks everywhere, sanitizers etc. made me feel quite safe. The crew was very attentive to all needs. Our veranda room was pleasant and well thought out but a little tight and we are ...

This was the 3rd of three back to back solo cruises; Crystal and Celebrity were the others. I had wanted to go on Viking cruise since going to a travel convention and seeing the features of Viking. Overall first impressions were embarkment and on ship within 5 minutes and then the room was very spacious plenty of room and storage and love the coffee machine and amenities. The ship looked like ...

We are not that experienced as Viking cruisers, having spent more time sailing with Seabourn and Silversea. We did, however, spend four weeks on the Viking Sun crossing the Pacific last year and thoroughly enjoyed the Viking experience, so we decided to try them again. Sadly, the Star did not come close to our experience on the Sun and I explain why below. Of course, our trans-Pacific cruise was ...
