This was my first cruise with Viking. I have traveled on larger ships in the past. The smaller ship was a huge improvement. Where to begin.
The staff was amazing and really made this a great cruise. Our room steward, the staff in the restaurant and security when we were leaving and returning to the ship all remembered our names and our preferences. They provided clear directions, we always knew ...
The ship itself is beautiful and elegant in an understated Scandanavian way, with calming tones of blue and beige. Throughout the ship, artworks are displayed that highlight Nordic history and culture. The crew could not do enough for us! From the wait staff in the restaurant and the World Cafe, to the bartenders, to folks who greeted us with cool towels when we returned to the ship after shore ...
I had recently been on Viking's Grand European River Cruise and loved it. My granddaughter graduated high school and I wanted to gift her with memories. I was a little trepidatious about an 18 year old on a cruise with a 65 year old average age, but thought we would try it. She had a grand time and there were several other younger people on the voyage. She took advantage of the gym each day and ...
I chose the cruise for the itinerary and because several friends had told me Viking was amazing. It was. The food, my veranda stateroom, the included tours; everything was beyond my expectations. I loved the shower in the bathroom and waking up early to stroll out on the veranda and watch the ship roll into port each day. It was like a dream. And the food. Oh, it was so good. We were tendered into ...
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary. Tuscany, Venice and a Greek island was on our bucket list. We had cruised higher end cruise lines before. Or that’s what I thought.
The Tuscany extension was out of a movie set. Hotel and restaurants get 5 stars. The entire area is lovely.
The ship itself, the entire crew, the food, the entertainment and even the included tours all totally top ...
We wonderfully experienced our first Viking cruise in 2017, and we decided it's time to repeat. And we were satisfied this time even more beyond our expectations.
Our flights were booked considering our embarkation dates, pick up at airport was on time as expected and so was transportation to airport organized with precision. The ship is beautiful, clean, full of amenities. The staff service ...
My wife and I had a major Viking cruise credit left from the pandemic in 2020. As we did not wish to lose the major dollars in our account, we chose a cruise really based on using up the dollar balance, as Viking would not let us sail on multiple cruises leaving us with a zero balance. Initially, we boarded the Viking Sky and yes, the ship is clean as any cruise ship we have sailed on. We ...
Thank you, planohog, for taking the time to share your experience with us. Nevertheless, we are sorry to learn of your disappointment with the dining services and amenities on board. Rest...
We had never been to Adriatic and Agean Seas before and felt this was an excellent itinerary at a reasonable price. It stopped in all the places we wanted to visit and the few places we had seen before they offered very good excursions that we had never see before. The food variety was superb and the specialty restaurants were as good as some 5-star restaurants we have been to. The various ...
Our first ocean cruise and we have just scheduled our next. Every aspect was just wonderful. We indulged and had breakfast on our balcony every morning. Restaurants outstanding and never a crowd. Room steward wonderful and attentive. We felt so pampered! Excursions educational and just the right length. Overall a fabulous trip.
All of our excursions were well thought out and timely. Never ...
Our first time to cruise with Viking. We were pleasantly surprised it met all expectations as what we heard from people was how much they loved it.
Food and service was great.
We booked the penthouse veranda suite which was a nice size. We thought laundry was included, however, it was only ironing service which we didn’t use. Included a complimentary bottle of champagne and refreshed ...
