Europe Viking Jupiter Europe Cruise Reviews

It had been my dream since I was in college to visit all of Great Britain and a few years ago Highclere Castle was added to my wish list. I happened to get a brochure in the mail and I saw this cruise had everything I wanted. It is nice to stay on the ship and visit different places instead of moving from hotel to hotel. We did a nice bus tour of beautiful Bergen, Norway before the ship ...

We wanted to get an overview of the Nordic countries. I had been in the US Merchant Marine and sailed the Baltic many years ago. My wife is Dutch, so that most of our European trips have been to the Netherlands, France and England. We selected Viking because of praise from many of my academy classmates. Since Oslo wasn't on the itinerary, we spend two days there prior to taking the train ...

We wanted to see places we had never seen before, especially Barcelona. Our flights to Bergen were rearranged because of a partial cancellation. The alternate flights set up by Viking got us there at 1:00 a.m.with an 8+ hour delay in London, causing us to miss getting acquainted with the ship and Bergen. Other flights, which would have been slightly more expensive, would have gotten us there ...

This was my first cruise and I wanted an adult experience on an upscale vessel to explore the Mediterranean. Viking exceeded my expectations in every regard from service to dining to cabin comfort. I have already booked my next cruise with Viking - a river cruise this time on the Danube - and have plans for yet another voyage next year, this time a trans-Atlantic trip. The crew was universally ...

It was a wonderful cruise. Spoiled me for any other cruise line. The restaurant food and service was lovely. Much beyond expectations. Our cabin steward was very attentive. The room was very nice and I loved the veranda. The cocktail staff were the best. For the most part, the included excursions were very nice. There were never any lines to get off or get on the ship. Everyone were so pleasant ...

We chose this particular cruise for a couple of reasons. First, we wanted to see as much of England, Scotland, and Wales as we could without spending two weeks driving on the “wrong side” of the road. This cruise gave us this opportunity and the chance to see Dublin as a bonus. Next, we are big fans of Viking Cruises. We have been on a Viking river cruise and ocean cruise. The ships are ...

We chose this cruise because good friends has taken the Viking Jupiter on the Homelands Cruise through the Baltic a year earlier. Based on their recommendation, we booked this Viking Cruise. We additionally purchased air travel through Viking. We were met by Viking staff in the airport in Stockholm and escorted to a bus which took us directly to the ship. I'm glad we did this as our flight was ...

We've been on a Viking River cruise before but this was our first time on an Viking Ocean cruise. We mainly chose this trip because we're familiar with the outstanding service and hospitality of Viking Cruises and to see two sites on our bucket list: ruins in Athens and Jerusalem, and the rest of the sites looked pretty good. It was the first voyage of the Jupiter ship that we were on, so ...

Our first cruise was a Viking River Cruise. The idea of cruising was not high on our list, but friends encouraged us to join them. Everything exceeded our expectations. The quality of Viking staff and the amenities on-board the ship were outstanding, and this ocean experience was even better. The idea of a large ship with thousands of people is not appealing to us. The smaller sized Viking ...

My wife and I have always wanted to visit the Baltic and this cruise was the perfect fit. We researched many other cruise lines and Viking offered the best itinerary. We joined the Vikings group on Facebook and read all of the reviews and found that many of the reviewers were repeat Vikings Cruisers who rated Viking as their preferred cruise line. The Jupiter was a new ship that received high ...
