Viking Ocean Transatlantic Cruise Reviews

I loved the rhythm of sea days accompanied by fewer, well-selected ports. The Cruise Director invited solos to a happy hour-type gathering on the first full day of the cruise and we decided to meet up every subsequent day—same time same place. It enhanced our experience to connect with that diverse group and to have companions for meals and excursions. It was a great cruise and I returned ...

We chose this cruise for relaxation as it had a limited number of ports. We were interested in a visiting Madeira and Spain as we had not traveled there before. Unfortunately, due to generator issues our stop to Madeira was cancelled. We would book another repositing cruise in the future. The service, cleanliness, and friendliness of the crew on the ship was exceptional. All employees tried ...

Extra time sailing plus Viking's great line-up of shore excursions was a perfect combination for us. Sailing days allowed us to fully explore the onboard amenities of Viking Jupiter, where staff, enrichment lectures, dining and entertainment were outstanding and varied. Port days included a wide range of excursions with knowledgeable guides who provided eye-opening insights into local ...

This was our 3rd Viking Ocean Cruise and it was fantastic. We found the food in all eateries to be excellent, the staff were very friendly and helpful, the theatre shows were really good and the historians/lectures were most enjoyable. We were lucky with a very smooth crossing and excellent daily updates from the captain at noon regarding sea depth, speed, conditions etc. Our DV2 cabin was ...

Viking does cruises like no other. From the moment we received our documents we knew we were in good hands. We have over 25 cruises and Viking is by far the leader in the field. Our ship The Viking Jupiter is well designed and staffed with a truly professional team. The Jupiter is stylish in every way and well designed with elegance and comfort in mind. We stayed in stateroom 50** and it was ...

Based on our favorable impressions during a Spring 2022 Viking river cruise, we decided to use available cruise credit to try a Viking Ocean cruise. We specifically chose a trans-Atlantic crossing since this is something we had never done before. The cruise from Barcelona to Fort Lauderdale consisted of 10 full sea days with port calls in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria (Canary Islands) and St. Martin ...

Overall very enjoyable but we had a few little niggles . Despite the sailing being in December and ending only a week before Christmas day, the only decoration was a gingerbread village that appeared half way. Meanwhile we were seeing other ships in the fleet beautifully decorated on social media. Various items were unavailable, particularly the choice of sugar free soft drinks was Coke ...

I have cruised with Viking before; my new boyfriend has been a Seabourn cruiser. We chose this repositioning cruise because of the good price and the itinerary. I was not sure what to expect in the mid-Atlantic in December, but we enjoyed temperatures in the high 70s, clear skies and smooth seas. We had a very relaxing time. My boyfriend found the food to be better than he had expected; I enjoyed ...

This was our second Viking Ocean (first was in 2019) , but we have been on Seabourn , Azamara and Regent, so at 900 guests , we consider this a "larger" ship. The guests were 90 % Americans , with only 36 Brits. Whilst the ship is impeccable, not a spot of dirt or rust anywhere , we were less happy with a couple of areas that are important for us, and felt these had deteriorated since ...

We chose this cruise because we wanted a transatlantic crossing on a luxury liner to enjoy sea days and world class ports. The cruise exceeded all of our expectations. We were in a Penthouse Veranda and had ample space to relax, and even to invite new friends over for a cocktail. The beds were comfortable and the room and bathroom were immaculate. We loved the large bathroom, with heated floor, ...
