Viking Ocean Venice Cruise Reviews

My wife and i chose this cruise since it visited a number of cities we had not visited previously. We got off to a shaky start due to the change in our departure port which was not a Viking error but a change in government decisions. However, as always, Viking made the most of it and we were able to visit some locations we would never have visited otherwise. All of our excursions met our ...

This was our first cruise and we had no idea what to expect. Traveling post-Covid lockdown did have a few challenges but Viking did a stellar job balancing passenger safety with an overall good experience. Our 7-day Mediterranean cruise was superb. We did not have any time in Venice, our embarkation point due to a port closure and had to be bussed 90 miles South to Ravenna to start our cruise. ...

Viking is simply the best. From stepping off the plane in Milan to boarding in Athens, every single detail was taken care of by knowledgable, friendly, professional Viking employees and contractors. We spent 3 days at Lake Maggiore, then boarded in Venice for an Adriatic cruise and ended in Athens where we spent an additional 3 days. The whole thing from start to finish was superb. Food, ...

We wanted to go on a cruise that included Greece. We loved Santorini, but really enjoyed Venice, Croatia and Montenegro. The ship was amazing. We had one of the best times of our lives. The staff was so kind and helpful, shore excursions were fabulous, food was amazing, everything was perfect!! Loved the free spa! This cruise line is for adults over 18 years old which we appreciated. ...

We wanted a cruise to Greece that included Santorini and other ports. Venice was listed on our itinerary when we booked, but by sailing time we did not see Venice at all. We were at an industrial port. We paid money but we did not see Venice or have any opportunity to do so. Our tours were mostly scheduled to begin early in the morning. They were all listed as Moderate. Several miles a day is ...

We wanted to see more of Europe after our 2015 trip to Italy. This cruise had most of the countries we wanted to visit. After comparing amenities on Viking we decided to take this cruise. After talking to people who had taken prior cruises we were sure we made the right decision. Everyone told us the service was top notch and they were not mistaken. From the minute we walked out of the ...

Never having taken an ocean cruise, but plenty of Viking river cruises, this seemed like a good one with which to begin. We had never been to Italy, so that was a plus as were other stops on the itinerary. The trip was canceled three times due to COVID and we were ready for a bit of pampering in the Viking manner. The cabin was more than we had hoped for - palatial after the river boat ones. ...

Viking is a well established cruise line and takes good care of its loyal customers during the pandemic time. Clean cabins, good service, outstanding restaurants catering to a wide variety of tastes, among the highlights. We were tested every day to ensure our well being, as well as everyone else. Masks were mandatory while you were in a venue, but masks were not required when you were outside. ...

Great logistics and attention to detail. Buses from port always ready and on time. Staff that are happy & genuinely concerned to make it a good time. They know their business, food, wines etc. Regulated hand washing at entrance to restaurants. At least one eating place open at all times. Gourmet food to a standard equal to top restaurants Informed lectures by University level speakers. ...

Doing a Viking Cruise has been our bucket list for 12 years. We finally had the opportunity! We started out with a pre-cruise "Como & The Italian Lakes" on March 25. The hotel was magnificant and our Viking Tour Director, Annalisa, was amazing! We could tell she loved her job. We boarded Viking Sky on March 28. We felt very safe with all the Covid protocols in place. Our cabin was ...
