Transatlantic Viking Jupiter Transatlantic Cruise Reviews

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 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, ...

It was a gift. Every aspect of the cruise was fantastic. The officers were friendly, professional, competent and committed to passenger needs, comfort, & safety, Crew were unfailingly polite, friendly, anf responsive to passenger requests. The ship is fantastic, with more than ample public spaces. Impeccably decorated and at the same time functional. Meals were first rate - in fact, ...

We chose this cruise to finally visit the African continent. When we booked, Casablanca and Dakar were scheduled ports. A couple of months before embarkation Dakar, Senegal was changed to Cape Verde. We were disappointed because Cape Verde is a very poor replacement port, but Casablanca was still on schedule. Viking booked us on Lufthansa from Chicago-Frankfurt-Barcelona. Warning-Lufthansa ...

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 ...

This cruise was to replace a cruise last December when my friend got covid the 2nd day and we were put off the ship 2 days later in Chile for 7 days of quarantine in a seedy hotel and then flown home. No covid for us this time, but because some passengers tested positive we were not able to stop in Casablanca. Too many people did not wear masks in elevators and on busses. The food was a bit ...
