Great Cruise, but Poor Pre-Cruise Experience at Reykjavik

Having cruised with several cruise lines and Viking river cruises, we were attracted to the Viking Ocean Cruise offering. We chose Iceland and Greenland as exotic destinations which we would otherwise never visit. The cruise itself was excellent, as one would expect from Viking, but it would be fair to say that the Viking river cruises are probable a little ahead in many respects. The ship is ...

I have long wanted to visit Iceland. The itinerary was outstanding. Captain Olav was very accessible and friendly. Having sailed with Viking, I had very high expectations and encouraged another couple to cruise with me. Having high expectations, Viking did not exceed my expectations. The dining offerings were not as superior as my last Viking cruise. Some of the meat was tough and difficult ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary, always dreamed of visiting Iceland. This was our second Viking trip, first ocean cruise. We knew the level of excellence to expect from our experience on a Viking river cruise, but were pleasantly surprised at how Viking even surpassed that expectation. The ship was emaculate, the food delicious and very accommodating for my vegetarian diet, the crew ...

My husband has never been a cruising enthusiast, but this itinerary was appealing. This was our first Viking cruise, and we had such a marvelous time. The staff was top notch, the food superb, the ship lovely and quiet. Everything was to our liking, and we have now booked another Viking cruise! My husband said the experience was like being in a 5 star hotel that sailed you to your various ...

We absolutely love Viking Ocean cruises! We have cruised on other lines before and feel we get more from the Viking experience. People truly do enjoy learning here! It was nice to hear one of our guides in Iceland who stated how respectful Viking guests are in comparison to other cruise lines. Despite the somewhat stressful excursion and specialty restaurant booking process, we feel like we got ...

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We had been on many Viking River cruises but never on a Viking ocean cruise. We were excited to see Iceland while experiencing a Viking ocean cruise for the first time. We found that the included excursions were very basic (e.g., walk around a small Iceland town of 700 people). The excursions that were not complimentary were very pricy, far exceeding what we experienced on Viking river cruises. ...

We chose Viking because of their reputation. We were not disappointed. We chose the Iceland cruise to experience whale watching; seeing the puffins; and hopefully to see the Northern lights. From the moment we stepped on board, we felt we were being greeted by friends who wanted to ensure our comfort and happiness. We lo ed the whale watching excursion and can't say enough about how wonderful ...

We took a 7 day cruise around Iceland in August, 2023. It was our first time on Viking, although we have been on many cruises, including Crystal, Regent, Paul Gaugin as well as Princess, Celebrity and Carnival. I would say that this was among the best, if not THE best, ship we have encountered. It was FAR better than our more recent trip on Regent which was a huge disappointment. We booked 2 ...

We heard so much about the beauty of Iceland, so we decided to go see it firsthand with Viking, who impressed us with their River Cruises. The Viking Star was great. Our Veranda stateroom was comfortable and extremely quiet. The service from the staff through the Star was beyond expectations. With our fare we were entitled to specialty dining and found Manfredi’s to be extremely worth our time and ...

The excursions that were offered by Viking allowed us to see the beauty of all of Iceland! Never disappointed with Viking. From embarkation through disembarking, Viking makes sure that your needs and requests are always met. The staff goes out of their way with a smile to start each day as well as making sure that your room is ready at the end of each day. The meals were professional ...
