Our first ocean cruise on Viking. The small ship had an incredible friendly crew. The entertainment was great. The classical duo in the atrium lounge playing viola and cello wereour favorites. So many dinning choices, Manfredi was our favorite. The cabin stewardsPutu and Mark were always there for us and our special requests. We became great friendswith the bartenders Rico and Rodge , very ...
The ship was beautiful, well put together, clean and not overcrowded. The staff and crew was Amazing, Helpful, kind, thoughtful and just plain awesome. The staff knew our names on sight and offered what we needed before we had to ask. We had a wonderful time and never felt overcrowded or pressed.
The shore excursions were well organized but too short. On our own in Paris was spent in ...
I liked the itinerary. It had a good add-on pre cruise in Oslo, ending with a train ride from Oslo to Bergen.
We had two days in Bergen to start which was nice.
The ship was a nice size but not crowded, less than a thousand passengers, and no kids.
The room was spacious and had everything we needed.
The food was excellent, even the buffets. There was a nice choice of additional ...
Everyone on the ships crew was amazingly helpful and friendly.
Excursion/ cruise services people were really friendly, but not helpful. Everyone I asked them a question they couldn’t seem to help me - the answer was often ‘no’. I know they have a lot of people to move on excursions, but process was often confusing and people at the desk just didn’t seem helpful.
That was the only (only) ...
I hadn’t been to any of the destinations on this cruise but the destination I was really excited about was Eidfjord, and I wasn’t disappointed.
We flew to Bergen and were met by Viking representatives at baggage reclaim. As soon as our luggage appeared we were escorted to the waiting transfer minibus. As we arrived late afternoon we went straight up to our cabin after a very smooth check in ...
This cruise was our first on Viking, but we have been on at least 30 cruises on various lines. Embarkation was the best we have ever experienced.
Our Penthouse Jr. Suite was very nice with more than ample room, comfortable furniture and an outstanding TV system with a great number of choices. There were two small negatives. The A/C system did not seem to respond well to the thermostat and we ...
I’ve been on the ship (Viking Sky) before and it is very nice so we decided on scheduling another cruise with Viking. I was looking for a birthday cruise. Viking provides great service and even a bottle of sparkling wine (Sekt) and a cake on your birthday. Plus all the great restaurants, shipboard amenities, very nice spacious cabins, and comfort while you cruise. Really enjoyed the aquivet ...
We booked back to back Mediterranean cruises, Dec 30 2018, and Jan 6 2019. We were attracted by the itinerary, and the wonderful reviews of Viking. The itinerary turned out to be misleading, and Viking appeared to suffer from institutional disorganization and generally poor food and service..
Ports - After paying in full soon after booking, which is a Viking requirement, we discovered that the ...
We appreciate this opportunity to learn more about your back-to-back voyages, Cadorina, and thank you for your review. We are pleased to learn that you found our ship’s aesthetics excellent,...
Went to see the Northern Lights and experience Norway where we had never visited. Due to weather we never saw the Northern Lights...The Norway Coast was spectacular and worth the experience.
If I had to do the cruise over again I would like to go during the spring or summer - Norway is beautiful but hard to appreciate when it is cold and icy during the winter. That said, it was interesting ...
The ship, the Viking Star, along with the cabins and on board entertainment was exceptional. The cabin housekeeping crew responsible the our room, 5054, provided outstanding service. The dining was superb in all the restaurants, especially Manfredi's Italian restaurant. The service in the restaurants was excellent. A special thanks to Mr Halil Kayhan and his staff, especially Ravi. Leo and ...
