Cruise was great / airline accommodations was bad

The cruise itself was fabulous. The state room was beautiful and spacious, food was amazing, staff members outstanding. After the fabulous experience throughout the cruise, the last leg of the trip was a complete flop. We were booked (through Viking) for a connecting flight in Istanbul on Turkish Airlines. Turkish Airlines was awful and I would specifically request to never be booked on any of ...

Our first cruise on Viking. We'd heard a lot of good things so wanted to try them. Since they offer a premium experience at a higher price, my bar was higher. I'm comparing them to our usual line NCL where we are Latitudes Platinum so get some additional benefits. Some of the benefits were as advertised. No crowds, no nickel and diming, no casinos, NO KIDS. Embarkation and disembarkation were ...

My wife and I have had wonderful experiences with Viking River cruises. We've always wanted to see Greece so we decided to give their Ocean cruises a try. The education and history on the ports is a major plus. I also like that they aren't trying to sell me something all cruise long. The tour guides on the included excursions were excellent. We booked an extension called Secrets of the Doge's ...

This was our first Viking ocean cruise. We've been on a Viking river cruise previously, as well as numerous cruises on other cruise lines. The Viking experience was different than on the larger ships. With 900 passengers, the ship never felt crowded and we had no problem going to different venues and finding seats. The ship is immaculate and very well maintained. The crew are very ...

We chose Viking due to their reputation and also because no kids allowed. Did our research and booked online with an agent who was very helpful. All things pre-cruise were above par. Just under 2 weeks to go and we got an email that our itinerary had changed. We would be spending the first 27 hrs sitting in the port, not sailing. Bummer for us as we’d already tacked on 4 days prior so we ...

Excellent Journey to Italy

I chose this cruise because going to Italy was on my "bucket list" and being of Italian descent, I wanted to see this beautiful country. The Italian Sojourn itinerary allowed me to visit several areas of interest in a short period of time. I was unaware that this was the second leg of a 3-week journey and the third leg, which ends in Barcelona, also visits additional ports in Italy. Had I ...

This was to be our 25 year wedding anniversary trip in 2020. Then COVID happened so Viking rescheduled twice and we delayed another year to be back to as close to “normal” no masks or daily testing, as possible. We had a wonderful time. Over the delays we upgraded our room each time so we’re blessed to have Jr suite. It was so nice and comfortable. Our room stewards were fantastic. Having ...

We have been on 3 Viking River Cruises and they were fabulous. I had so hoped Viking could recreate this magic on their ocean cruises. I have to say I was slightly disappointed. On the river cruises Viking has thought of every detail, but this does not always translate to the ocean experience. For example, we had 150 people arrive at a small town at the same time. With 4 buses it would have ...

We chose this cruise to visit Venice, where we had not visited and to return to Rome, Florence and Barcelona, where we previously had traveled. We did the three-day pre-cruise extension in the Italian lake region and the two-day post-cruise extension in Barcelona. Both extensions were highlights of our trip. The most disappointing stop was Venice. From the Viking Sea, we had a 90+-minute ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

This cruise was going to places I was very much wanting to visit. The overall experience was excellent. One issue I have is that I called Viking multiple times to ask about Covid vaccine requirement and was told absolutely we must be vaccinated, it is also on their website. We spent a total of 12 hours driving back and forth to get a NON MRNA vaccine from the company Novavax. When we arrived ...
