Viking Ocean Europe - River Cruise Reviews

We loved Viking ocean cruise. We would definitely do another Viking cruise. The sightseeing on this cruise was absolutely beautiful. We did at least 2 excursions a day and it was well worth it! Having a balcony room was wonderful. The service from all of the staff was beyond amazing. The free wine and beer with meals was a nice extra to have. We loved how they recognized ALL of the staff at ...

This cruise went from and to all the places we had not been to in the Mediterranean and we had heard so much about Viking "hospitality." We changed from a Viking River Cruise from Amsterdam to this cruise. I would caution anyone signing up for a Viking excursions to do their research on what the meaning of their "moderate" is. We, unfortunately, signed up for two full day excursions early in ...

Always wanted to see the Mediterranean countries, particularly Italy. This was a wonderful cruise starting in Barcelona, Spain and ending in Venice, Italy. Viking Cruise Lines was a awesome experience. The ship is perfectly sized at about 930 passengers (not crowded yet plenty of passengers to interact with). Meals were expertly prepared with several restaurant to choose from. We never had to ...

Beautiful ship, just the right size with less than 1,000 guests. Cabin was roomy with a nice size bathroom. Shower even had a ledge to sit on making it easy to shave your legs! Room steward kept the cabin nice & neat. Food was delicious! Tried a few of the specialty dining rooms, but the main dining room was my favorite especially since we ate at the same time every night and enjoyed our ...

We had formerly taken a Viking River Cruise and loved it. We found more of what we had loved on that trip on the new trip to Barcelona ending in Bergen. We were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary and were treated to complimentary wine and cake. What a nice surprise! The food was fabulous in each of the restaurants and small eating places. Service was flawless as was the entertainment ...

The Viking experience covered everything! Our early morning flight to Barcelona arrived early and there was our welcoming Viking Red waiting for us at the baggage claim. Private car transfer to precruise Renaissance hotel and into our room by 9:00 a.m. Talked with the Viking rep about the area and got great local recommendations. Transfer to ship, panoramic bus trip allowed the Sky and the ...

ABOUT US (for context) We’re in our 50s, and this was our first cruise together. (I went on a cruise once long ago for work, which was a very different sort of experience.) We did it in honor of our 25th anniversary. We’re somewhat introverted. We enjoy meeting new people and chatting, but we’re also quite content to read a good book or do our own thing. We had put off cruising until now ...

We chose the Trade Route of the Middle Ages because of all the countries visited from Barcelona to the add-on of Iceland! It was a long trip and the staff on-board were all wonderful! The food on board was not as 'regional' as I would have liked but all else was great, including the trips in towns and the local guides. I especially enjoyed the spa on the 1st floor. From the pool to the ...

Lifetime travel goals, Barcelona, Montserrat, Sagrada Familia, Cartagena, Roman Theater, Granada, Alhambra, Rock of Gibraltar, Porto, Land’s End, St Ives, Salisbury Cathedral, Magna Carta,Stonehenge, Monet’s home & garden, all realized on this incredible journey!

Friends were going. Like traveling by ship with all of the amenities. Disappointed that we were not able to see more of Barcelona. The docks were too far from the center of town. The ship was awesome. Viking really catered to the older adult. Food was fantastic. I am to 2 other cruises on the same size ship. We were docked at the downtown area and were able walk on and off the ship. I would have ...
