Bali to Australia & New Zealand Cruise Reviews

First time with Regent. Lovely ship and great cruise from Bali to Sydney. Cyclone went thru Cairns so all excursions cancelled at that port. Downgraded to category 1 so we really had no effects while at sea. Have cruised over a dozen times with others lines, first time with Regent. Nicest and largest room ever, plenty of storage, great room service except when we had to quarantine for 12 ...

Beautiful ship with lovely staff and excellent food but the entertainment fell short of what we’ve experienced with Regent on past cruises. Constant changes to the entertainment programme. They repeated performances and also made numerous cancellations. This was a 17 day cruise with no deck parties and there appeared to be a lack of direction from the cruise director and his wife. The ...

We chose this cruise because we have wanted to see Australia and New Zealand and this cruise had a lot of stops in both countries. Another plus was having the opportunity to unpack once and having a home base to keep coming back to vs a land tour where you live out of your suitcase moving every day or two. Those were the top 2 important criteria. Embarkation was very easy, especially since ...

This Viking cruise was our first Ocean cruise. We took a Viking River cruise and loved it, so we decided to try an Ocean cruise. The staff and their customer service on a Viking cruise were top notch. The amenities on board, from the gym, the spa and pool areas were amazing. The food was so delicious and expertly prepared. The staterooms were very comfortable with a lovely balcony. ...

What a relief to be on a ship that actually has some culture, no casinos and no kids! Boarding was a dream no cues. No cues to get off and onto the ship along the way! The best of all, everything was included in the price, including never ending beer and wine at mealtimes. Yes, you pay for fancy cocktails and spirits, but that is not necessary unless you are an alcoholic. The ratio of ...

After we canceled a prior cruise due to Covid, we had a large credit with Viking. To our surprise, the credit must be used on only one single cruise - not applied to multiple cruises. Since the Viking Komodo Australia cruise included the Great Barrier Reef, we chose this cruise despite the half way around the world journey. We booked a PV (premium veranda) cabin that included a daily stocked ...

My husband and I were onboard Viking Orion last November, starting from Bali (Indonesia), ending in Sydney (Australia). Going to Australia was never on our agenda because it was just too far from our home in New York. But Viking had a Flash Sale that included free airfare and free beverage package -- it was too good a deal to pass! We knew this kind of sale usually means limited stateroom ...

First time out of the USA since Covid and we picked to go to Bali and Australia--Big Mistake. We paid Viking extra to book our airline tickets (business class) and were only given 40 minutes to change planes at DFW from the domestic terminal to the international travel. Anyone who travels through DFW knows it's one of the most congested airports in the US. We arrived at Qatar airlines 15 ...

Just as introduction: I like Oceania's smaller ships a little bit better than their bigger ones, but mostly we choose by itinerary. We're Oceania regulars, but occasionally cruise on Viking Ocean, which we also love. We've also cruised about 4 times on other ships. We were happy to find that Oceania's quality had not gone down in the year plus it had been since we had last cruised. The ...

Location---never been to Australia. Had a great experience before on a Viking cruise. Dining is awesome. Love the Italian option, but spread it around with main dining room and Chef's Table. Bars really fun. Cabin amazing, but common areas so appealing that we really did not need the size cabin we took. Entertainment was awesome on some nights and mediocre on others. The Viking singers were ...
