Disappointing South America Cruise with Viking

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

We had taken Viking's Mekong Delta cruise and had a great time so we booked the South American Cruise expecting a similar experience. While the ship was beautiful our cruise experience was sadly disappointing. The ship could not dock at two of 8 ports of call due to weather. This was not their fault but Viking made no effort to make up for it (on board credits, additional on board ...

This was my first cruise and it was more than I ever expected. Viking knows how to make you feel welcome and they now how to treat their guests! From the cabin boys to the head chef, everyone I came in contact with were genuinely kind and cared about how you were doing and if everything was to your satisfaction. My room was always in tip top shape...very comfortable and quiet. The food was ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

Overall a very wonderful experience! The only downside was the air travel component getting to Buenos Aires (over 10-hour flight), and the return especially, booked via Viking, which had a transfer in Sao Paolo from Santiago, another transfer from Atlanta, back up to Seattle (a 24-hour torture session). International air travel has become a nightmare. I believe they purposely make it the most ...

Our only other cruise experience was The Inside Passage to Alaska. After hearing rave reviews by neighbors and acquaintances, we elected to give Viking a try! Also, my wife, Nancy, was excited by 21 days of travel with NO packing/unpacking! Viking is impressive. Layout of the stateroom, furnishings of the Ship, eating options, selection, and training of the staff - everything has been ...

This was our 19th cruise, but our first on Viking. Previously, we've sailed on a number of the mainstream lines, as well as Oceania. Our experience on Viking was largely excellent, with a few minor cavils. Here's our list of positives and negatives: Positives: - Wonderful service attitude. They're always extremely accommodating - Beautiful ship. Like a fine, high-end hotel - Excellent ...

Viking does cruises like no other. From the moment we received our documents we knew we were in good hands. We have over 25 cruises and Viking is by far the leader in the field. Our ship The Viking Jupiter is well designed and staffed with a truly professional team. The Jupiter is stylish in every way and well designed with elegance and comfort in mind. We stayed in stateroom 50** and it was ...

Extra time sailing plus Viking's great line-up of shore excursions was a perfect combination for us. Sailing days allowed us to fully explore the onboard amenities of Viking Jupiter, where staff, enrichment lectures, dining and entertainment were outstanding and varied. Port days included a wide range of excursions with knowledgeable guides who provided eye-opening insights into local ...

This was our 3rd Viking Ocean Cruise and it was fantastic. We found the food in all eateries to be excellent, the staff were very friendly and helpful, the theatre shows were really good and the historians/lectures were most enjoyable. We were lucky with a very smooth crossing and excellent daily updates from the captain at noon regarding sea depth, speed, conditions etc. Our DV2 cabin was ...

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 ...

Took the cruise because of the itinerary and the Guest Speaker CAPT Don Walsh USN. Regrettably CAPT Walsh did not make the cruise. If you look overly salty food, then I recommend Viking. The food is abundant and of good presentation and quality. I found the spicing of the food uninspired. The itinerary was great. The crew was great. The ship is beautiful and well thought out. The ...
