This was our first experience with Viking. We had considered a River Cruise for 2024 but changed our minds. Mid summer we received an email from Viking that had several cruises at the end of the year that included International Air. This being a Transatlantic Cruise with a great price. I wasn't sure how we would stay busy for one stretch of 6 days across the Atlantic. We found plenty to do, ...
We wanted to check out many diffrent countries within 1 cruise. We wanted to see a lot of Italy. The restaurants were all very good.The waiters and bartenders were all accomating and super friendly,ready to please.All the excursions were wonderful!There were a few we could not book but when we got on board we were able to get on them.Same when we wanted some of the restaurants we were able to ...
Have sailed on this same ship on the viking homeland. Such a beautiful ship. My husbands first time on viking & he said he would never travel on any other cruiseline except viking. They are so exceptional. All the restaurants are fabulous & staff can't say enough. We will definitely sail with them again. Love it that no children. Have been on other crusies where parents let their children run ...
River cruise of 2022 was cancelled by us due to low river levels. Transferred to Med cruise that took us from Venice to Barcelona. We were looking for at least 14 days. It was wonderful in all aspects. Viking family was attentive, welcoming and warm. Plenty of adult educational seminars on the ports we visited. Nightly entertainment was superb and with audience participation (if one so wished) ...
Just got home from my cruise on the viking sea for a cruise in the Med. This ship and crew were flawless. The level of detail in the customer service area is unmatched. I have worked on cruise ships myself and never experianced service like this. The ship its self is understated and on board entertainment is geared to be light because everything is centered around the ports of call. The rooms ...
We chose this cruise because it was more inclusive as far as shore excursions, wine/beer/soft drinks with meals, fewer passengers, some educational lectures, interesting destinations. Self laundry was also available so we could pack light and not check luggage as we did not want to risk lost luggage.(I overheard that some passengers never got their luggage.) This of course had nothing to do with ...
We wanted to see southern Europe and this trip covered six countries. Awesome staff. Ground excursions did not miss a beat.
Plenty available seating and you don’t have to fight for pool or deck chairs.
The ship’s decor is impressively contemporary and not cluttered. No casinos and no photographers adds to the serenity of the ship.
Staff is extremely courteous and helpful.
The food ...
We travelled with 6 others of our family & friends. It was the first Viking experience for all of us. We all were very impressed with every aspect of the entire cruise. The staff is top notch and very well trained in taking great care of the passengers. The ports of call were wonderful and the included excursions were pretty good for the most part. It would be nice to have a longer time in each ...
We have always wanted to cruise the Mediterranean. We have done several cruise lines over the years - this was our first Viking Cruise. We loved the smaller boat that didn't sacrifice on quality in any way. The staff was beyond courteous, the rooms were kept spotless, the food options were great. It was such an stress-less way to travel! It was disappointing to have Split, Croatia dropped ...
Our second ocean cruise with Viking. Even better than the first. We'd booked this trip just before Covid shut everything down so it was long anticipated. And Viking Sea certainly delivered. Excellent staff, especially housekeeping. Ernesto, our room steward, could not have been more attentive. Our Cruise Director, Manny Rodriguez, was fabulous! What a gifted singer and entertainer! The Assistant ...
