Europe Viking Jupiter Europe Cruise Reviews

Wanted to visit parts of Italy we had seen before and added southern France and Barcelona. Weather impacted two days of excursions but the staff offered reasonable alternatives with very short notice. Food on board was excellent in the main restaurants. We did not get to sample the Chef’s Table nor Manfrddi’s specialty restaurants because they were fully booked before we could make a ...

My wife and I are cruising neophytes. We have been on one Caribbean cruise for our honeymoon back in the 90's on a smaller older ship in a popular cruise line. It was an entertaining experience, but we found the stateroom to be cramped, and there was a fair amount of pressure on upselling things like excursions. We caved into the pressure and packed our schedule with excursions. The result was a ...

We dreamed of going to Europe for 20 years prior to retirement. The more we researched, the more places we wanted to see. It was the itinerary of ports and excursions that first drew us Viking. The excursions at each port are varied and enriching guided by locals that not only have college degrees in tourism but are often working professionals in the area in which they are guiding. Art ...

We wanted to see many different areas of the Mediterranean and this cruise took us there. The ship was perfect with small groups, great food, and excellent service. We spent a lot of our time off the ship on various tours and the guides were all very experienced and knowledgeable. We highly recommend the post-cruise visit to Tuscany. It was the best of them all. We only had one meal in the ...

This was our third Viking cruise. We had been on two other cruises through other cruise lines. Viking is so much better than they were. The crew was wonderful. We grew so fond of the various servers that it was sad when we had to disembark. The food was great, as were the drinks. I highly recommend the Silver Spirits package. It was fun to try the drinks our bartender in the Explorer Lounge bar, ...

We have enjoyed a Viking River Cruise in the past, but it's hard to find a river from Barcelona to Italy. There were many similarities with the river cruise, including great food and a staff that lives to please. The Chef's Table originally felt like an iffy choice for us, but we enjoyed both nights we dined there. Reindeer Consume was not our usual fare, but the adventure was a pleasant ...

I have been on a Viking River Cruise so Viking was my first choice for an ocean cruise. And the fact that it was a smaller, more intimate ship made it just what I was looking for...and the itinerary couldn't have been more spectacular. Within a day, staff knew our names and by day 2 knew our drink preferences. Attention to detail was amazing. And the ship itself was aesthetically pleasing ...

This was a once in a life time cruise. The places to see and visit was outstanding. The local tour guides knew a lot about what to see and how to look at art from different angles. We had enough time in port to enjoy most of the locations, but at a couple of cities, we were rushed and did not have time to see the palace or churches in Pisa. Our room was very pleasant and was always ...

Prior to my Viking Jupiter cruise, I had only been on one cruise, and I didn't like it. It was a huge ship (I won't say the name but suffice it to say, way too many people). My friends talked us into this cruise (Viking) as they have done a couple cruises with Viking. I was reluctant but we went. IT WAS AWESOME! The ship was absolutely clean, the crew was so friendly and attentive, the excursions ...

It included parts of Europe we haven't seen before. My wife has always wanted to see Barcelona which she enjoyed very much. Service and food were wonderful. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the ship especially in our cabin. I was blown away with the quality and professionalism of the entertainers on board and I was glad to be introduced to Mary Jess who I had never heard of. Her voice ...
