Pleasant, relaxing experience

Having sailed with a number of cruise lines, my husband and I prefer the serenity, dignity, and quality offered by Viking. Two months prior to this September 2022 cruise we had taken a family cruise with Royal Caribbean, and the differences between RC and Viking were stark. The Royal Caribbean cruise, while fun for the younger crowd in our group, was loud, frenetic and boisterous, and the ...

This is a 10 day cruise between New York City and Montreal. There are wonderful places to explore along the way with just a couple of very relaxing days at sea. From beautiful Quebec City, to Nova Scotia and Boston Massachusetts, the adventures never disappoint. The sail into New York Harbor is something everyone should experience, it is absolutely spectacular. All the crew and guests were ...

It should be mentioned right away that Viking clearly caters to a very small demographic of elderly clientele. My wife and I and the other couple that we travel with are healthy, active 60 year-olds and we felt that at least 90 percent of the other passengers were much older than us. We've taken previous Viking River cruises and, overall, really enjoyed them. Unfortunately, the things that we did ...

We booked this cruise for several reasons, but we did have a large credit from a covid canceled cruise and needed to use it soon. The itinerary was interesting and our daughter and grandkids live in Connecticut. We had sailed Viking once before and this cruise was great like the first one. Staff was friendly and hardworking. Ports were fun! Captain and crew had to work around our big ...

We are a married couple (no kids) in our 40's who are early retirees and travel permanently. We added cruising as a mode of travel over the last couple of years and are no sailing around 100 days a year. Most of our cruises have been on the mid size ships of the major lines (Celebrity, HAL, NCL) with one cruise on Regent. We are in the midst of trying a variety of new lines. Overall we thought ...

This was our first ocean cruise, and we chose Viking because of the small ship, no photographers, no casino and no kids. We thought that we would be overwhelmed with people after our experience with the 100 passenger Viking river cruise ships. Not so, the ships facilities were such that we never felt any crowding in any location. We had upgraded to a penthouse veranda and the extra space was very ...

Our first larger ship as we were also able to enjoy trips with the Viking River Tours. As prior customers we experienced the same top quality in all forms of services. The tours were extensive and informative even enjoyed the previews given in their beautiful auditorium with feature videos of the days excursions. Our rooms were always fresh and inviting and with these larger ships, the room ...

Wanted to go to Bermuda and see a bit of the Western Caribbean. It was relaxing with good music and entertainment. The special speakers were very interesting. Liked the convenience of free washers and dryers. Met some very nice people. Staff all very helpful.The spa looked very nice, but never went in- afterwards someone said that it was free - don't know if this is true. We used the walking ...

We had room service and a scrumptious breakfast on the days we had an early tour and it was no extra cost. We enjoyed high tea only once we need to take a longer tour with a day st sea so we can enjoy all the benefits on the ship. We loved the Alaskan king crab legs and the specialty restaurants we loved the Nordic spa experience. They really thought of everything when they designed the ship there ...

Both embarkation and disembarkation went very smoothly. We were always treated with a welcoming attitude by the crew in all departments. Very professional but also very personable. Having been on Holland America and Oceania, which we also thoroughly enjoyed, Viking has made a lasting impression! Due to its smaller size and number of passengers as well as the comfortable open and inviting common ...
