Viking Ocean Auckland Cruise Reviews

This was my second Viking Ocean cruise so obviously I liked my first one. For reference, I would classify Viking as perhaps a rung below lines like Silversea and Regent, but above Oceania or Celebrity. This was my first visit to this part of the world, and generally it was an excellent cruise with a few hiccups here and there. I probably preferred my first Viking cruise to this one for a few ...

We enjoyed ourselves immensely. The service on board was uniformly excellent and the entertainment was superb. We had a spacious suite and a very attentive cabin staff. The meals in the specialty restaurants were excellent and inspiring and we were able to invite our friends to share the table with us on many occasions. The shore excursions were a mixed bag. Some had excellent tour guides who ...

This is our first time in a Viking Ocean Cruise and the experience was amazing. First, the number of passenger is not too big (less than 1000) which makes the trip more enjoyable. No lines in the buffet, no crowd in the major areas.The meal is outstanding in quality and variety. The staff is very nice and professional. The shows in the theater are excellent. There are shore excursions included in ...

I choose this cruise because of a good offer provided for it two years earlier and due to the good reviews Viking had been receiving. In addition to the the cruise, I signed up for the pre- and post-cruise packages. It turned out the excursion included in the pre-cruise package was a duplicate of one I already signed up for after boarding the ship, so I paid out of pocket for my own ...

First Viking cruise and I was not disappointed. The customer service, accommodations, and food was outstanding. They don't nickel and dime you on board which was appreciated. I love that many excursions are included in the initial price. We enjoyed the specialty restaurant meals. The chef's accommodated my shellfish allergy. The ship was clean and the massage in the spa was enjoyable. ...

This was our first cruise on over 30 years. We were traveling half way around the world to visit with a family member in Sydney and decided to include New Zealand in our travels. The pre-extension around the north island was fabulous. We met some great people on the cruise, and there was a lot of good food. The entertainment was outstanding, as well as the talks on history of the areas we were ...

We booked this cruise so we could revisit some of our favorite locations - New Zealand and Australia! And the beautiful Viking Mars was our choice for this trip. It was our first voyage with Viking. Viking promises excellent service and amenities which surpassed those of other cruise lines we traveled with in the past. Everything about the ship was high quality- cabin services, food and ...

My husband and I took our first cruise with Viking in March, actually 2 cruises combined into one (New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia). The ship's staff were excellent and went out of their way to serve. Food selection and quality were always good in all of the dining venues. Our only complaint would be lack of a decent salad bar and few whole grain bread options. We appreciated the ship's light ...

We choose this cruise to travel with our friends who has mobility issues. Our first Viking Cruise and it more than met my expectations. The stateroom was excellent, our cabin service as well as the waitstaff and ship crew were all friendly, and went above and beyond to make our trip memorable. We had a few issues including an electrical fire in a stateroom on our deck the first day and a ...

Viking Mars – New Zealand and Australia 7 Feb – 21 Feb Having traveled on Viking River Cruises, this was our first Viking Ocean adventure. This trip had been canceled previously two times due to the pandemic and the two countries shutting down completely. Having been on many other ocean cruises (different companies), this clearly was one of the best cruises we’ve been on. That being ...
