The embarkation was excellent, plenty of staff to check in all the guest with very little waiting time.
We were upgraded to an Explorer suite which was a pleasant surprise. We were impressed with all the amenities in our suite. We had booked a Penthouse Junior suite.
The food, as usual was outstanding as was all the dining room wait staff including the hostess who remembered our names and ...
We chose this trip solely for its itinerary (specifically, Amazon, Rio and Buenos Aires) which has proven to be quite exciting.
The ship exceeded our expectations (this was our first sail on Viking after cruising with Sliversea, Oceania, Celebrity and others).
Viking Sun is a beautifully appointed ship with exemplary design (it is also very new: delivered on 25 September 2017). Plenty of ...
We sailed from San Juan , 1000 miles up the amazon river, hit cities in Brazil including Rio; visited Montevideo and Buenos Aires. Great itinerary.
The crew were all great, without exception. We say the hotel GM every day. The Captain made a point of visiting several times during the cruise - before this, I only say the captains on formal nights or as a special exception.
The stewards ...
Travelling to the Amazon and visiting Rio were the reasons for choosing this trip. The Included trips were good but the additional excursions were excellent. The submarine ride in Barbados was a o e in a lifetime experience. On board, we both enjoyed the lecture series. We learned so much about the people,history, and politics of each country we visited. It made the shore excursions so much more ...
After well over thirty ocean and river cruises, we were excited to board the Sun for our first ocean adventure with Viking, From the moment we were greeted at the airport, Viking made us feel like honored guests. Everything was well planned with little delay (OK there's not much anyone can do about the traffic between LaGuardia and midtown Manhattan at 5 PM on a Friday).
Our stateroom was ...
Viking cruises both River and Ocean are a very worthy investment and adventure. If you are wanting to experience travel on a new level and hassle free, this is the cruise line for you.

- Cabin stewards are very attentive
-Dining is fabulous, 5 star quality meals.

Selected this cruise because of the Amazon content. We normally do not select a cruise with this many sea days and unfortunately extra sea day was added due to water conditions that forced us to miss a port (Recife). Disappointed that Viking didn’t seem concerned about the missed port and no discussion of any compensation for missed tours etc. This was our second Ocean cruise with Viking and we ...
We choose it because of the itinerary(esp. time in NY City before the cruise started,) cost for the length of time & wanted to try an ocean cruise with Viking after loving our river cruise in April. Overall the staff were excellent & we loved Vickie's presentations & the wonderful humor of the other speakers. I also loved the Reagan presentations & the port talks. Evening entertainment was very ...
This was my first Viking Ocean cruise and I was highly impressed. I have cruised before on several different cruise lines and I was surprised with the intimacy of this cruise. The personal touch started with the Captain and extended itself to the officers, cruise director and many of the passengers. I truly felt special ( a difficult thing to do with 900+ passengers on board).
Our cruise was ...
Viking Ocean cruises provides a top rated and stress free experience.
"The Staff" is the most amazing you'll ever encounter!
I travel with my mother on these cruises and it could not be easier from beginning until end. There is plenty to do for all age groups 35-99 both on the ship and off and our cruise director and her assistant made sure all were included.
On ship - just a few ...
