Viking Ocean Cruise Reviews for Senior to France

Incredible service and staff, thoughtful excursions, DELICIOUS onboard food. From the second we got on the ship, to the moment we disembarked, we were treated with white glove service from every staff member we encountered. The range of excursion options would fulfill every single desire a person may have, and the organization at each destination was impressive. The food at the buffet was ...

Viking is exceptional. Everything was 5 stars, from the embarkation as well as disembarkation process was easy and efficient. Our stateroom was ready on time, it had nice finishes and amenities. The variety restaurants offered many choices depending on your preferences, the quality of the food and service was great. The staff is very attentive and helpful. The staff and crew are engaging and ...

Wow - just wow!! All of the food was excellent and lots and lots of variety. The afternoon tea was awesome. My room steward was so professional and very helpful. Kept the room in tip=top shape. The musical offerings were great. I loved the opera in the Theater from the MET in New York. I saw top ship brass out and about everyday. There were lots of ports - lots of walking. ...

We went on our first Viking cruise in Nov 2022 after an extensive research. It was a Christmas River cruise on the Rhine river and we had a fantastic time. We were so impressed by the Viking team that we booked an ocean cruise with Viking for April 2023 (this cruise). This Iconic Western Mediterranean cruise started without a hitch from the airport pickup to checking into our stateroom. Once we ...

I was apprehensive about so many sea days but I quickly fell into a relaxed mode and enjoyed the slow pace. Food was five stars every meal. Crew was above and beyond customer service! Plenty of places for solitude or activity with groups. Chef Gary did pop up lunches in the cafe several days and that was a treat. I’m never seen the head chef so engaging and he was delightful. The pool was tranquil ...

We actually boarded the world cruise on December 24th in Fort Lauderdale. Cruise Critic did not allow us to pick that as our sailinh date. In regard to embarkation, I gave it a 3 star rating because the CDC got in the way of Viking's amazing COVID screening process. As a matter of fact, the CDC exposed us to a greater risk of COVID because they interfered with their own testing process. ...

We booked our first ever world cruise in June 2019 to sail in January 2021. That cruise was canceled because of covid, but we took the 125% and rebooked for 2022. It had our dream itinerary, going from LA to Australia, New Zealand, etc. Many itinerary changes were made over the months to come, but the day before we were to embark, we learned that we would be sailing to South America and the Far ...

This cruise started as a river cruise but it was canceled twice so we opted for an ocean cruise. We heard viking was a notch above the rest which turned out not to be true. The cruise started out of San Juan we paid to transfers to and from the airport and were expecting an agent to meet us at the airport, nobody was there and not we are outside the security zone of the airport had to walk around ...

Viking took extreme care of us with their Covid protocols. The crew at Viking are exceptional across the board and treated us like family, top professionals all. The Viking Star always immaculate and luxurious, perfect size for a World Cruise......five star. Restaurants, cafes, room service are amazing, kudos to all chefs and galley staff and service. Excursion Team provided phenomenal ...

This was our first time to Rome and Barcelona and we fell in love with the beauty, history and people of these iconic cities. We loved all the ports and wish the cruise would have been a couple of days longer to see more sites. Ship was beautiful, stateroom was great- although we didn't spend much time in it. For us, cruise director was lacking in ability, personality and knowledge. (Please ...
