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 ...
Countries we never visited. Friends encouraged us to join them. So glad we did! Staff was amazing in every restaurant, cabin people Ferry and Barry the nicest people and the entertainment led by Beven was great!
Our first time ever and now we want to go again!
Loved sitting on our little balcony and sail in and out of all these different ports.
So much to see, so much to do but also ...
Desire to visit the Northern Europe countries. We have visited many parts of the world but never the Northern Europe area. Being older the cruise was an excellent way to travel. Do not have to constantly pack and repack your belonging as you move from site to site. The excursions at each of the ports gave you the opportunity to see many different sites. The local guides were very good and ...
We had always wanted to see the Winter and Summer palaces in Saint Petersburg and we love Scandinavia. It was the perfect vacation. Our cabin was an upgrade and was better than most 5 star hotels. There were only 2 excursions we did not enjoy. At Helsinki we took the Porvoo and Malmgard Castle, quite a lot of driving and not a great deal to see. The castle was a large manor house!! At Eidfjord ...
The cruise happened at the right time and place. We always wanted to go on a Baltic Cruise and had heard so much about Viking Cruises so we thought we would give it a try. Needless to say we weren't disappointed in the least.
Included shore excursions were good and enjoyable and we used them as much as possible.
We signed up for the mix and mingle and to our surprise Viking cruise ...
The Viking Homelands cruise was selceted based upon the itinerary and especially the end point of the cruise-Stockholm. This cruise was perfect perfect in all respects and everything went like clock work. Embarkation was quick and most efficient. The ship was immaculate in all respects.- minimalist in design and very Scandinavian decor. Ample space on this vessel for a place to seek out a ...
