Getting to Venice was a long travel day. Viking had a guide to escort us through Heathrow and given our short layover there it was a lifesaver.
Viking had representatives at the Venice airport to gather everyone together and to the buses to transport us to the ship.
Checking into the ship was a breeze. We took a break and had a late lunch as the crew brought our luggage up to our cabin. ...
This was a most enjoyable cruise, the standard of service was excellent, the food very generous and high-quality, and all the staff were extremely helpful. I have now booked to go with them on the Rhone on 7th May, as I was so impressed. Although I was the only English-speaking tourist on board, this was no real problem as the other cruisers were mainly French or Spanish, and at my table, Swiss. ...
We had never been on a cruise; never wanted to go on one. A friend in California, who has cruised extensively, suggested we consider going on a cruise and go with Seabourn. Once I looked at their itineraries and discovered that not all cruises were floating orgies and beach parties, I was intrigued. I found their 14-day Venice to Istanbul cruise--two places I had not yet been to, but wanted to ...
We choose this cruise to visit as many places possible in Greece. Having the opportunity to visit, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro and Turkey were a bonus for us.
The ship , the entertainments, the food, the atmosphere and the staff were amazing !.
We like NCL and we will highly recommend this cruise line to anyone that would like to have options and relax in a good environment.

18 months since we have been on board Azamara and two years since we have been on board the Quest, but within minutes of embarking the Quest for an 8 night Croatia intensive cruise, we were greeted by several officers and welcomed back as family. You can’t put a price on that. One of the major benefits of small ship cruising.
It was a smooth and speedy embarkation - we were on the ship ...
The itinerary was great starting Rome and including Taormina Sicily, Rhodes, Egypt and Turkey. Unfortunately Israel was missed due to the tragic conflict at time of cruise. The ship doesn't have the latest amusements or slides so not great for children and the passengers were generally older than usual on this itinerary. The cabin we had was small with an obstructed lifeboat view on deck 8. We ...
We had heard about Viking from several friends. This was our first time and we were blown away. The ship was beautiful, with modern, clean lines, beautiful woods, large windows and comfortable seating. The sweeping windows in the Explorer Lounge were dramatic. Everything was so well thought out. For example, books were located in several places around the ship (rather than in an library) so it was ...
We chose this cruise because we toured Rome, Florence, Tuscany and Venice prior to sailing. This cruise enabled us to see more of southern Italy and relax on the second half of the trip. Food was great, only had one off meal. The steak was chewy but the waiter was more than happy to replace with a different entree.
Room service for breakfast every morning was on time, hot and delivered right to ...
River cruise of 2022 was cancelled by us due to low river levels. Transferred to Med cruise that took us from Venice to Barcelona. We were looking for at least 14 days. It was wonderful in all aspects. Viking family was attentive, welcoming and warm. Plenty of adult educational seminars on the ports we visited. Nightly entertainment was superb and with audience participation (if one so wished) ...
