Viking Ocean Panama Canal & Central America Cruise Reviews

We are frequent cruisers, averaging about 1.5 cruises per year. We have come to the conclusion that every Viking Ocean Cruise will be wonderful and so easy for the passengers. We chose this cruise as we would get the full Viking experience without having to take long flights. 5 hour flights, LAX to Miami and back. Every aspect of this cruise was first class and amazing. We can’t wait till ...

This was the BEST cruise I have ever been on. The excursions were exciting and informative. I learned so much about the Panama Canal that I never expected. During our days at sea, there was so much to do and so many wonderful people to meet from all over the world. The entertainment was great and there was something to do for everyone. Some of the activities really opened everyone up. We had so ...

This cruise was the epitome of a true vacation experience. No checks to settle, no supplies to buy, no arrangements to worry about. Once paid for and excursions picked and spa treatments scheduled, RELAX in luxury. I felt like an imposter on the ship but went with it. No lines, ever. Gourmet restaurants. Amazing ports. I had zero complaints over the 2 weeks we sailed. Booked on 3 future adventures ...

We chose the Viking Panama Canal 16 day cruise because of the opportunity for extended sea days mixed with South American tropical ports of call. This itinerary afforded us ample time aboard to take advantage of multiple Nordic Spa days, daily promenade walks at sunrise, sunsets on our veranda and star lite nights. Quiet times to sunbath with a good book or reflect upon the soul stirring live ...

This was my very first ocean cruise. I had specific requirements in my search for the right cruise. I wasn’t interested in a party atmosphere with loud disco music, I wanted to avoid children running around the ship, and I wasn’t interested in spending time with gambling or casinos. I wanted a cruise with diverse dining options in restaurants that didn’t require me to become best friends with a ...

This ship was built with a specific consumer in mind. Wonderful for seniors who want a smaller luxurious experience with no children, good food, great shows, and very attentive staff. It is easy to find a place to sit without having to search hard for an available lounge chair or quiet area to read. Included free access to spa facilities, wine and beer at meals, specialty coffees all day, and ...

This was our first Viking cruise and the best we’ve ever taken. It was pricier than other lines, but well worth the cost, especially as everything was included - the only extras we had to pay for were more expensive excursions, and gratuities at the end of the cruise There was a drinks package you could add but wine with meals was included so we felt no need to add more. There were many options ...

What a trip! This was our first experience on a Viking cruise. The ship was lovely with its truly Scandinavian vibe and decor. Having been to Scandinavia before, we definitely felt the calm, welcoming, warm "hygge" atmosphere on board. There were plenty of quiet spaces, excellent lectures, and beautiful pieces of art, history & culture to explore. The informative shore excursions were a real ...

We enjoyed every aspect of our experience on the Sky. Communication, food, enrichment, entertainment, cruise team, organization, room steward and service - all were very good. The activities offered were varied and inclusive - opportunities for those traveling alone, those in recovery, those of different religious faiths and lifestyles. The staff did a great job of organizing and disembarking ...

The wife and I just returned from an extremely enjoyable 10 days aboard Viking Sky, traveling from Ft. Lauderdale to Panama City, Panama. While this was our first ocean cruise in over 15 years, (our previous was on another cruise line), it got us very interested in doing this type of travel more frequently in the future. The crew and staff onboard our ship, to a person, were beyond friendly and ...
