Viking is not my thing

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

Had the opportunity to cruise with Viking for the first time recently. We've done 21 cruises with most of the major players out there, and a few of the premium lines. Positives: - Very clean cabins with 2X day housekeeping - No cruisers under 18 years of age - Perfect sized ship - No upsell once on board - Embarkation / Disembarkation very easy - Decent selection of Video On ...

While on the boat and in the room all is wonderful. Food is fantastic and service wonderful. Purchasing the silver alcohol upgrade isn’t really valuable because half of the waiter/bar staff don’t seem to understand it and even charged me for upgrades beyond having paid for silver . The extensions of front and back as well as the flights picked by Viking are not just poor they are outright bad. We ...

This trip was a last minute plan in September, 2023. The draw was a discount fare with free airfare to the Holy Land. My siblings and I decided to sign up The Holy Land visit was cancelled due to the conflict, October, 2023. We agreed to continue with the trip. I received a single rate Was my first Viking Ocean cruise, but a veteran of other cruise lines as well as a Viking River Cruise. I was ...

Bought a 15 day cruise but got two one week cruises strung together

We chose Viking’s 15 day Mediterranean Antiquities cruise because we had been on the Viking 18 day cruise, South America and the Chilean Fjords, and loved everything about it. In particular we enjoyed the lectures and other enrichment activities as well as the fellow travelers who seemed to have similar interests. The library was phenomenal. Since all Viking Ocean ships are almost identical, we ...

Loved the itinerary. Nice ship. Decent food but not great and lacking variety. Two lobster nights was really nice. Included Excursions were disappointing with average to below average guides. Paid excursions had better guides but really poor planning relative to time. Many excursions returned to the ship as buffet was closing. Others did not allow enough time for shopping and enjoying the ...

I travelled as a solo traveller on this cruise last year from Venice (Chiogga) to Athens. It was my first cruise on Viking. My only previous cruise experience had been with Hurtigruten doing the Norway Coastal cruise. I found the ship itself to be lovely and very user friendly. I was also very pleased with my standard verandah cabin. Unfortunately apart from the main pool the other pools and hot ...

Very nice cruise. But that's all!

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

First off, the the cruise was perfect - the cabins, the service, the food, the amenities. The ports were generally nice - to take pictures of from the ship! But if you have trouble walking, forget it! For a cruise line that supposedly caters to the older crowd, there is NO accommodation for the even moderately impaired. Even when a shuttle bus was offered to get into town, it was pitiful ...

Traveling with friends who had never been to Italy. Previous Viking river cruises were great. This cruise was delayed from 2021 due to cancelation by Viking. In 2021 Viking offered the pre-cruise Rome extension and post-cruise Tuscany extension. That was not an option for 2023, with only Rome and Tuscany offered as a pre-extension. For those considering a Tuscany extension, do it on your own ...

We chose this cruise because of the ports visited that was on our bucket list for years. We sailed on the Viking Sea in 2019 and loved everything about the cruise. We had the same expectations after booking this cruise but we were immediately disappointed starting the first night on board. The food quality, selection, taste and presentation were lacking and mediocre at best. The food lacked ...

First cruise on Viking and probably last. So many details are lacking compared to say Oceania or Azamara. First food is very average… short handed in all dining rooms. If you want another glass of wine you have to go get. Our balcony cabin was very small and very cheap. The closet was so narrow had to turn hangers side ways to close doors.one door stuck all the time. Shower leaked from door. They ...
