"The main dining room service and food very good with exception to one night that we waited until a bit later to dine and even though we made it a point to tell our waiter we were planning on going to the Main Theatre for the show at 9, we did not make it.We loved the first one so much that we signed up for one more (getting the last two spots)...."Read More

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 had sailed 3 times on Viking River cruises and loved those, so we gave the ocean a try. Wonderful experience. Everyone was so kind. We felt like old friends with many of the staff. Awesome features include the free spa experience, all veranda cabins, free (and very good) specialty dining. Afternoon Tea in Wintergarden was so elegant I felt like I was on Downton Abbey.
I love sea days, ...
After reading all the advertising from Viking Iwas getting, we decided to book that 14 day transatlantic cruise from San Jaun to Barcelona. Being aways for that long with 8 sea nights seemed wonderful. This was our 14th cruise, and first Viking. In the past we sailed on Azamara, Holland America, Celebrity and Royle Carribean. Here are my thoughts after being back a day...

We decided to book this cruise because we have booked the Viking Neptune World Cruise departing in December of this year. Having never sailed on an ocean cruise with Viking, we decided to take this trip before final payment was due. Based on our experience, we're thrilled to be sailing with Viking on the World Cruise next year.
Pros:
The service, especially in the restaurants, was ...
I loved the rhythm of sea days accompanied by fewer, well-selected ports.
The Cruise Director invited solos to a happy hour-type gathering on the first full day of the cruise and we decided to meet up every subsequent day—same time same place. It enhanced our experience to connect with that diverse group and to have companions for meals and excursions. It was a great cruise and I returned ...
We chose this cruise for relaxation as it had a limited number of ports. We were interested in a visiting Madeira and Spain as we had not traveled there before. Unfortunately, due to generator issues our stop to Madeira was cancelled. We would book another repositing cruise in the future.
The service, cleanliness, and friendliness of the crew on the ship was exceptional. All employees tried ...
I have cruised with Viking before; my new boyfriend has been a Seabourn cruiser. We chose this repositioning cruise because of the good price and the itinerary. I was not sure what to expect in the mid-Atlantic in December, but we enjoyed temperatures in the high 70s, clear skies and smooth seas. We had a very relaxing time. My boyfriend found the food to be better than he had expected; I enjoyed ...
This was our second Viking Ocean (first was in 2019) , but we have been on Seabourn , Azamara and Regent, so at 900 guests , we consider this a "larger" ship. The guests were 90 % Americans , with only 36 Brits.
Whilst the ship is impeccable, not a spot of dirt or rust anywhere , we were less happy with a couple of areas that are important for us, and felt these had deteriorated since ...
Thank you, alan5151, for taking the time to share your experience with us. However, we're sorry to hear about your disappointment with our onboard dining and entertainment. Should you wish to...
Overall very enjoyable but we had a few little niggles .
Despite the sailing being in December and ending only a week before Christmas day, the only decoration was a gingerbread village that appeared half way. Meanwhile we were seeing other ships in the fleet beautifully decorated on social media.
Various items were unavailable, particularly the choice of sugar free soft drinks was Coke ...
We originally had our trip scheduled for 2020, but due to COVID it was rescheduled twice. In November 2021, we finally were able to go! There were a lot of things closed on the ship, you had to book the spa and only for an hour, we only got to go once. We did the COVID test everyday and wore masks when in groups, The staff was AMAZING dealing with all the rules of covid and making sure we had ...
