Viking Mediterrean Cruise

| Med Cruise: Spain, France, Italy
What a truly wonderful vacation! The ship is well designed with many areas to enjoy. Staff was always pleasant and helpful. Highly organized staff so that boarding and leaving the ship was smooth and painless. Excursions were a pleasure despite the stifling European heat. Multiple dining options with a wide variety of well prepared food. Fabulous spa massage and a couple of visits to the spacious, immaculate gym. Overall this was such a wonderful experience I have difficulty finding anything to criticize. Anyone looking for a first class cruise experience should book a Viking cruise!

Viking Rocks

| Alaska Inner Passage. Anchorage to Vancouver
Have been on several Viking cruises and they never disappoint. Have a variety of excursions in each of the ports, but need to decide and book early, some fill up fast. Using Viking Air makes all the transfers seamless, and you an work with them, as we did, on layover times so not to feel rushed.

Komodo& the Australian coast

| Indonesia and Australia
Would like to we visit the area again Maybe a little more time in some of the ports, they probably don't have complete control and are govern by the ports schedules

Alaska cruise on the Orion

| Alaskan ports and Vancouver.
The overall impression if this cruise was boring and often inconvenient.The Orion often had to anchor and tender to shore. The time in port was often too short to allow a person to explore the port after an excursion. The optional excursions were pricey and the included excursions were mediocre. The daily activities were not adequate and the evening entertainment was mediocre as well. The best feature and the the only one deserving praise was the food.

Orion

| Australia, New Zealand
Cruise was great. One free tour per tour was great. Service,food, friendliness of staff , size of ship & organization was great.

Alaska Inside Passage and Kenai Fjord Cruise

| Alaska
What a luxurious way to see Alaska's inside passage. Our travel agent recommended the Kenai Fjord cruise as a "must" and it was spectacular!

the land down under

| Australia and New Zealand
We had a fabulous cruise on the Viking Orion in Australia and New Zealand. Most days we took advantage of the included tour in the morning, then went sightseeing/exploring on our own in the afternoon. Delectable food is always available on board, so we frequently returned to the ship for lunch, then started out again. Viking offers a free shuttle to town if the ship docks farther than easy walking distance, so that was a huge convenience. "Port talks" the evening before were helpful to give us an idea of what to do and see, and now, Viking provides a list of books to read prior to embarkation to make us knowledgeable about our destination, which makes the trip all the more meaningful.

All Around Great Experience

| Alaska
Every member of the crew we walked past had a big smile and genuinely looked happy. They engaged us, looked us in the eye and were all so polite and eager to please. The stateroom as well as the decks and restaurants were immaculate at all times. The food was amazing. The guest speakers were excellent as well as very informative. We learned something new daily! The only thing that was disappointing was the availability of wifi. It was basically nonexistent. This being our first cruise we had nothing to compare it to. Turns out, we don’t need to try any other cruise line. Viking has made us lifelong customers. Thank you!

An Experience

| Alaska. Inner passage
This cruise was a special experience in being cared for, in dining and in the destinations. The excursions were well planned and there were opportunities to be prepared for the destination. The on-board time was both relaxing and entertaining. There is time & space for “alone time” as well as for communal time. There was never a crowded feeling.

Great Trip to the Caribbean

| Caribbean Cruise - 2 week
We had a great trip. We relaxed and did not participate in many activities, by choice. Thus, it was very hard to evaluate them.

Viking spirit

| Paris Normandy river cruise
Ship docked a few minutes from Effie's tower. This was a great central location for walking around Paris .

Our First Viking River Cruise

| Normandy
It may have been the itinerary along the Seine, but the cruise just didn't match other river cruises and cruise lines we have experienced. The highlight was Normandy. The food, which we expected to be outstanding, was just so-so. We ordered steak, and we were told you will get it the way it is cooked - I like it medium-rare, but it was well done. On other cruise lines, the entertainment is great considering the small ship size; this ship only had a single piano player. We loved the cruise director; she was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. The entire staff was friendly and very helpful.

Cruise to New Zealand and Australia

| Dunedin, Hobart
Over all, the trip was a once in a lifetime for us as we are 82 and 87. We are thoroughly happy with Viking as a whole but after experiencing the ocean cruise, we prefer the river cruises. It seems the included tours included more varieties.

Viking Orion

| French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, Moorea, Nuku Hiva)
The ship is beautiful and the staff is very attentive. The head chef is great about accommodating dietary needs. The specialty restaurants were very nice. Chef's Table rotated the menu every three days. Manifredi's restaurant had either a set menu or a variety of other menus. But it seemed to be the same foods and it got boring after a while. The buffet always had a good variety but again, the same things were frequently served. I would highly recommend this for older passengers who like a lot of sea days. Because this itinerary had so many sea days, Viking had numerous lecturers who gave a great variety of short lectures. There was also a craft specialist who gave lessons as well as a bridge card instructor. The included tours had a lot of walking on uneven surfaces which are not always easy for those walking with canes. And the optional tours were more for active passengers. Booking local tours separately would be a better option for those with limited mobility.

Wonderful

| Alaska
Had a lovely time.

Viking Alaska Cruise: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly June 2023

| Alaska Ocean cruise Orion
My journey began with Viking Air and how the operator charged my roommate and me for booking, no matter how many times I corrected her. My roommate had to fix it. Unless you arrived on the same day as the cruise left, you had to pay for the bus to get you to the ship. I was not allowed to pay and upgrade once I was booked, but I called United and was upgraded. I ended up paying for my one suitcase, a first. I ended up paying more for air than I would had I booked it myself. The good was the actual cruise and what they had to offer. The ugly was the number of sick people coughing and staying in their rooms. No communication from Viking. Last year I was on a Viking river cruise which was one of my best trips. But, I came home with Covid.

Cruise of a Lifetime!

| Western Mediterrean
This was a wonderful cruise on a brand new ship with an attentive staff and great cabin amenities. The food was wonderful and the Spa facilities exceptional. I especially loved the free laundry facilities available on each deck. Viking communication could be improved as the itinerary change in Barcelona was made before I booked and I was not made aware of this change prior to booking. We also weren't informed of the terminal change for departure in Barcelona which lead to a long taxi ride trying to find where Viking was docked. Also we booked a Penthouse Deluxe Veranda cabin and were told the refrigerator would be stocked with alcoholic beverages and replenished every day. This was not the case in our cabin. But aside from these few details I would most definitely book with Viking again and will recommend to others

Viking orion

| Australia
One the best of our cruising. Wonderful staff. Great venues. A little short on storage space, but it worked.

Viking orion

| Panama canal
Loved every minute, took people as a priority, dream trip
