Viking Ocean Transatlantic Cruise Reviews

I was apprehensive about so many sea days but I quickly fell into a relaxed mode and enjoyed the slow pace. Food was five stars every meal. Crew was above and beyond customer service! Plenty of places for solitude or activity with groups. Chef Gary did pop up lunches in the cafe several days and that was a treat. I’m never seen the head chef so engaging and he was delightful. The pool was tranquil ...

We were looking to experience Viking Ocean. I have friends and clients that I’ve booked with Viking but had not sailed on them myself. We love sea days and cruises that have enrichment. You can be as busy as you wish to be or just sit back and relax. There are no water slides no rock climbing walls or children under the age of 18. The food and service were excellent. I have many food allergies so ...

A transatlantic crossing was a bucket list trip. This trip so exceeded any expectation that it's hard not to sound phony. Some standouts: first, the crew/staff - talk about 5 star service, friendliness, thoughtfulness and super polished; second would be the ship itself - great cabin, wonderful public areas (e.g. really well equipped gym), really loved the outdoor infinity pool deck (had lunch ...

I had never taken a "repositioning cruise" before. I chose it based on the fact that it was 14 days and rather inexpensive, and because it only had two port stops. My travel partner and I both love life on board ship and the port stops are not particularly something we need. This cruise was jam packed with so many things to do on board with lectures, and dance lessons, Trivia, games, shows ...

Reputation of Viking Ocean Cruises and the extended time at sea. We had high expectations of this cruise and Viking overwhelmingly exceeded everyone of them. The ship was immaculate, food was over the top delicious, entertainment was great , stateroom and attendant… the best, and ALL staff on the ship - from the officers to the maintenance people were FABULOUS!!! We left from Fort Lauderdale and ...

A repositioning cruise has long been on our bucket list. It was fabulous, restful, energizing, engaging. The staff rapidly became family. Food was varied, creative, and always so well prepared. Big shoutout to our ‘adopted’ server Gloria, who won our hearts. We loved getting to know Chef Gary and discussing his culinary ideas…such a friendly, creative chef! Restaurant manager Zhora was like a ...

Having multiple Cunard transatlantic crossings under the belt, we were looking at trying something a little different and were pleasantly surprised with our Viking Star crossing and a small ship experience on our Fort Lauderdale to Barcelona sailing. I now see why Viking consistently earns high marks from it's customers - they put customer service at the forefront and it shows. We embarked ...

We had sailed 3 times on Viking River cruises and loved those, so we gave the ocean a try. Wonderful experience. Everyone was so kind. We felt like old friends with many of the staff. Awesome features include the free spa experience, all veranda cabins, free (and very good) specialty dining. Afternoon Tea in Wintergarden was so elegant I felt like I was on Downton Abbey. I love sea days, ...

After reading all the advertising from Viking Iwas getting, we decided to book that 14 day transatlantic cruise from San Jaun to Barcelona. Being aways for that long with 8 sea nights seemed wonderful. This was our 14th cruise, and first Viking. In the past we sailed on Azamara, Holland America, Celebrity and Royle Carribean. Here are my thoughts after being back a day... Embarkation - was ...

We decided to book this cruise because we have booked the Viking Neptune World Cruise departing in December of this year. Having never sailed on an ocean cruise with Viking, we decided to take this trip before final payment was due. Based on our experience, we're thrilled to be sailing with Viking on the World Cruise next year. Pros: The service, especially in the restaurants, was ...
