Viking Ocean Italy Cruise Reviews

The ship was very comfortable and clean. The staff was very pleasant, and the customer service was outstanding. The spa was incredibly difficult to get an appointment in with their limited staff. The two exclusive restaurants were only easily accessible to those that had larger suites. Me and my traveling companions are incredibly nice tippers so we were able to enjoy extra visibility by the staff ...

We chose this cruise in 2019 for my husband's 70th birthday in 2020. The Holy Lands was a Bucket List destination. However, with COVD in 2020 and 2021 we pushed our cruise to November 2022. Then a death in the family forced us to push the cruise to 2023. Little did we know a war in Israel would start only days before our sailing and would prevent us from visiting the Holy Lands. It was now too ...

Viking shipboard service was impeccable. The included excursions did not always match their descriptions, especially the driving excursions. Some of the excursion guides seemed to lack training and enthusiasm which made the excursion below expectations. Viking food was okay, nothing special Twice menu items preselected for medical diet were unavailable because the wrong menu was ...

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 this cruise because we've done 2 river cruises before and we enjoyed the Viking experience. Food on this cruise was fantastic. The ship was beautiful and well-kept. The evening entertainers at the theatre were excellent. Our cabin was exactly what we needed. The excursions were great. The scenery was beautiful. Now, I'll provide suggestions to make the trip better. For ...

This was our third trip with Viking. We previously were on their river cruises. Which were great, everything was wonderful. As usual, the ship was beautiful and the service was FIRST CLASS, the entertainment was outstanding. MY WIFE liked the shops on board, Me, not so much, cost me too much. The evening meals were wonderful, the dining room staff was ...

I'm writing this review as someone without children in my late 30s. I knew going into this vacation that the average age skewed older (as first evidenced by all the stock images in My Viking Journey), so I hope my review might be helpful for others in my general situation. My husband and I are not typically cruisers, but after a long and trying year at work, we needed a vacation where we ...

We made a poor decision to travel to Europe in the summer, partly because our preferred cruise to Buenos Aires was delayed by Covid for 3 years and we mistakenly believed Viking wouldn't refund our original payment. For that I can never forgive Viking. The cruise was basically fine and uneventful but seriously marred by extreme heat. Our first stop in Katakolon was a disaster - Viking should have ...

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 ...

Viking offers the best in cruising by far, even almost perfect. The accommodations, cleanliness, and style are unmatched in the industry. Attention to details seems to be a priority. The crew and especially our steward were excellent. I had a slight issue with the food. It was almost too generic. I would have liked more spice in my food. More pasta dishes would have made sense to me for ...
