Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on Viking Sea

We wanted a unique trip to somewhere that would be difficult to arrange personally. The Amazon satisfied this requirement. The small ship also was important, since we are not fond of thousands of passengers for travel companions. The staff made our party of eight comfortable in all dining areas. We particularly enjoyed the different relaxing venues and exercise and locker room areas. We arranged ...

Pros We enjoyed the ship and the atmosphere. The furnishing were tasteful and quite comfortable. Surprisingly we enjoyed the entertainment. It was fun and not over the top. I was not expecting it to be as good as it was. The service and attitudes were really great. The Chef's table was very good. The cabin design especially the bathroom was exceptional. Room service breakfasts ...

I would have given 5 stars as it was a wonderful experience overall with one major exception. We were supposed to go to Manaus & other stops in Brazil, but the Amazon was at historic low water levels and couldn't be navigated. Instead of rerouting us to a coastal port in Brazil, we were taken to the West Indies. We had visited those islands with Viking the year before, so the repeat stops ...

We had only been to South America once; a trip to the Galapagos Islands ten years ago. We wanted to see more of mainland South America so we signed up for this cruise along with two other couples. We had also been on two Viking river boat cruises (both in Europe) and we wanted to try out a Viking Ocean Cruise. Just about everything was up to the high standards we have come to expect from ...

We hadn’t been to South America so we decided to cruise with Viking. We added the pre-cruise package to Buenos Aires which was very nice! Wonderful hotel (Hilton) . I would highly recommend adding these pre-cruise days. We had wonderful weather for the most part on the cruise. Lots of sun. The ship was lovely. The food was good, but not the best beef. The beef (steaks) were tough. Great ...

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

We chose this cruise because we wanted to see the Amazon River, the Brazilian rain forest and less-traveled portions of the Caribbean. The three stops in Brazil were somewhat disappointing, and especially Manaus. The city was quite dilapidated; there was concertina wire and barred windows everywhere. Passengers who stayed in hotels during the one-day extension were all advised not to travel ...

Going up the Amazon was a bit different than the usual Caribbean jaunts. Also the prospect of seeing Devil's Island was intriguing. Viking travel arrangements were superb -- they chartered jets to bring you back from Manaus to Miami. Three cheers for Viking. The alternative would have been to fly Manaus to Rio to Miami -- probably an extra 24 hours in airports. The disappointment was that ...

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

We wanted to 1) cross the Equator for the first time by ship, rather than by air (which we have done a number of times), 2) visit the countries in which the ship would dock, as we had not been to many of them before, 3) visit Patagonia, an area in which we had a special interest 4) enjoy the high quality of Viking service for a month. Sadly, a) because of a very few cases of Covid on board, ...

The fitness and spa areas were outstanding. The massages were top notch, really could not have been bettter. Egor, from Brazil, is the best. The spa area seemed like a hidden, secret oasis. Very, very nice. Michael, the guitar player was excellent. Comedy/magic show was very good. Speakers did very well - very interesting. The Baggo games, ship building, and trivia competitions were all ...
