Montreal Cruise Reviews

Oceania Vista, Montreal to Miami October 2023. Disclaimers first. My wife and I prefer smaller ships of approximately 1200 passengers or less and Oceania Vista certainly fits that bill. Secondly, we usually pick the cruise because of the ports. Third, we do not like all-inclusive plans as we rarely use the ship’s excursions and are not big drinkers. So that does leave a limited number of ...

Oceania is our favorite cruise line, so when I was able to book a cruise on their newest ship, the Vista, I jumped on it. I also liked the fall color itinerary that started in Montreal, a city that I hadn’t visited in the past. I had taken a fall color cruise in 2013 after I retired and loved it, so I hoped that we would be able to see beautiful colors that we don’t see in south Florida. The ...

Wanted to experience the new Vista and was not disappointed. The new venues were great and looking forward to its new sister ship Allura. Dining - The Grand Dining Room is truly grand. White columns and half walls break up the cavernous space and allow for a quieter more intimate experience no matter where you are seated. Menu selections were good but did notice rather dull options when it ...

Montreal to Ft Lauderdale. Had a great time. Quick and easy embarkation in Montreal staying at the Springhill Old Montreal which is perfectly located near all Old Montreal highlights. The service on board was wonderful. We liked the MDR and Lido buffet. Mixed reviews on the specialty dining by our group. Entertainment was great including the band, piano bar player, dancers, singing group, ...

We had taken the Grand European Viking River cruise in 2022 and were so impressed with the experience that we thought we would try the ocean cruise. This cruise had all the great things we experienced on the river but included things like the infinity pool, (so cool) and inside pool and hot tubs. A variety of dining experiences. Shows & entertainment. We missed the intimacy of the river ...

We wanted to see the Eastern shoreline and hoped to see Fall leaves, we were a bit early it seems. Everyone at Viking went out of their way to make us comfortable and happy. Viking has an excellent crew from the crew director, the bar staff and the cleaning service. We met new friends and so enjoyed the enrichment lectures. The food was delicious and the spirit package made it more special. ...

Went on the Canada 7 night cruise out of Montréal to Boston. Took our family of 4 (kids age 8 and 10), and brother and wife. I had done research and knew this was not a “in your face” entertainment cruise but was laid back sailing on a smaller ship with plenty of room to spare. There is no band by the pool and the entertainment on the world stage is pretty … meh. The cabins were standard size, ...

We chose this particular cruise because of our previous experience with Viking on the Viking Star and the Iconic Mediterranean cruise. Additionally, although we live in North America neither of us had ever been to any parts of Canada together. The prospect of visiting some of the iconic cities and locations in Quebec and Nova Scotia was very inviting and there was no cross Atlantic flight ...

Enjoyed the cruise and the many interesting excursions. The tour guides were knowledgeable and gave wonderful local insights to their areas. Especially enjoyed Saguenay and the interesting history of the area. Halifax is a charming area, and the boardwalk was fun to walk down and shop. As we sailed into Boston there was a rainbow over the city which was a lovely way to start the day and our tour ...

I wanted to cruise close to home. This itinerary worked perfectly for me, especially being able to disembark in NYC. The ship is beautiful! There are many quiet places on the ship that people gravitated to so the ship never seem too crowded. We had a penthouse room that was wonderful — plenty of space, ample storage, heated bathroom floor, great balcony, and a great room steward. The main ...
