We have done 2 Viking river cruises but this was very disappointing. Poor communication concerning description of tours and difficulty of some walking tours. Food quality and preparation had a lot to be desired. Many times food was cold and we were not thrilled with the selections offered. Everything seemed to have fish it it. Could not cut steaks. Not enough pool waiters on hand. Many of ...
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Rll70. However, we regret to discover that the journey did not meet your anticipated expectations. Please know that your insights have been...
Our cruise started with a pre- extension to Cappadocia- which was amazing- the only complaint I have is that I wish we had it at the end of our trip- we were sleep deprived from our 3 flights from Orlando to Istanbul- after we were picked up by Viking we went to a lovely hotel- The Conrad Hilton- but we never had time to enjoy the hotel- we had to go right to sleep in order to meet back at the ...
We have done 2 Viking river cruises and wanted to experience an ocean cruise with them. The Istanbul to Athens with a 4-day post extension allowed us to see the areas we were interest in visiting. Included and paid tours were excellent. We did a private tour through Viator in Istanbul because we only had one day there. Ephesus Tours and our licensed guide Tayfun Yalcin were amazing. The Viking ...
We were to have taken this cruise in 2020, so we finally got to see Istanbul and the Dalmatian Coast! Firstly, the ship and crew were excellent! This was our 3rd ocean cruise with Viking, and we enjoyed the ship, food and amenities in different ways than before. Maybe we’re older, I don’t know, but we danced, went on excursions and just had a very “relaxing” and fun time! There was no ...
We chose this cruise because it covered areas we had not seen and we were anxious to see the Eastern Adriatic and Barcelona.
Taking a cue from the questionnaires we were given on the ship, I’d like to review our overall Viking experience.
First, our overall experience on the cruise was probably above our expectations, as we had not been on an ocean cruise for a number of years and that ...
We have been on a Viking river cruise. We were very impressed. This time we chose the sea cruise because we were very interested in the Ancient Treasures. It didn't disappoint. We liked the splendid scenery of Montenegro the best.
The ship is tasteful, elegant and beautiful. The restaurants are the same with the addition of the more casual World Cafe, although excellent selection of food; ...
I have always been interested in classical history and philosophy and its influence on modern day society. I was not disappointed! Each port visit included aspects of history I’ve studied. I also visited sites of Christian apostles. The guides for the excursions were informative and friendly. The food and service on board was top-notch, especially Manfreddy’s and the Chef’s table. The World Cafe ...
I chose this cruise because I had never been to Greece or Turkey before. I was also very interested in the shore excursions that were offered and found every one of them as interesting as they were portrayed. The dining was exceptional and the staff went above and beyond. Our penthouse suite came with all the amenities and more. I can not say enough about Viking and their cruises, ocean or river. ...
We very much enjoyed the educational material, talks, guides and information. Next, we enjoyed that there were no kids running around. The food was excellent, especially the local food as we visited various cities. The ship was not crowded and seemed like we had sections of the ship to ourselves. The excursions were the right length, not to short or too long. We went on several additional ...
This was our third trip with Viking. We previously were on their river cruises. Which were great, everything was wonderful. As usual, the ship was beautiful and the service was FIRST CLASS, the entertainment was outstanding.
MY WIFE liked the shops on board, Me, not so much, cost me too much.
The evening meals were wonderful, the dining room staff was ...
