Viking Cruises Reviews

The trip was top-notch, and our agents' care for us was top-notch, as well.

This was our seventh cruise with Viking, and we've never been disappointed. Even with some occasional, unforeseeable and unavoidable itinerary changes, this company more than makes up for it. The quality of the ships, dining, and staff service have always been top notch. Some of the included tours are not that great, and optional tour offerings tend to be very expensive.

We've been happy with Viking for 10 years!

The viking cruise around South America was wonderful but very long. The ship and crew were top notch. There were too many days at sea. Some of the tours were subpar but most were excellent. The food over all was good and varied. The silver drink package was worth the extra price for such a long trip. I would consider booking with Viking again, but not for 18 days. It was too confining. The weather was perfect however.

We ran into serious weather problems which totally changed our itinerary. Viking did the right thing and comped our trip. We certainly will consider using them again.

A wonderful trip. An enriching experience. We learned a lot about parts of the world.

Best company in the field.

Our adventure was Ancient Mediterranean on Viking Star. The ship, staff & service was excellent. Albeit the included excursions were nice, the way Viking sends all their groups to same venue at once it made it quite difficult to truly experience all of the sites & museums cause you just could not get around the number of people in same location. Tour guides had a wealth of knowledge and it was very informative from that perspective.

I think Viking is the best cruise line.

Viking is a first class operation. The attention to detail is excellent. We have already booked 2 more adventures with them.

Great trip...Viking is our "cruise line (river and ocean) of choice". The attention to detail and level of customer service is exceptional. Next cruise already booked!

One of if not the best Viking cruises we have taken.

Our trip on the ocean Viking sea was everything we hoped for and more. All accommodations were just as we were told. Excellent food and service. We were treated like royalty! Which we love! Haha

Great cruise, nice suite, excellent and helpful staff and a nice suite on the ship.

Great service with friendly staff. Excellent meals. Clean rooms. 5 star experience!!

Excellent as always

This was our sixth trip with Viking, and we've never been disappointed. The care and attention that's given to our comfort, safety, and needs is consistently excellent. The itineraries provide a wide range of included and optional excursions off the ship, but also offer a full day on on-board activities should you prefer. On this particular trip, I would highly recommended a pre- or post-extension to Iceland, which was amazing.

Viking does not disappoint. The stateroom was well appointment and the service was outstanding. Their ships are well designed so that you never feel you are in a crowded environment.

Viking continues to provide excellent service, great food and an amazing experience on wonderful ships.

One of our best trips ever!! Viking was fantastic and the weather, itinerary, food, education and entertainment were all great!! Highly recommend this cruise.

Viking by far is the best cruise choice.

Vikings Antarctica expedition is a once in a lifetime trip. Our agent was amazing

We got all the perks offered by tour operator but in addition had a generous on-board credit from Affordable Tours. Nice bonus!

Viking is a high end cruise line. All inclusive, no kids. It's really good for people with mobility problems!

Incredible cruise on viking trade routes. Excellent in every way!

The Viking expedition ship is incredible. Raises cruising to a whole new level.

Viking Ocean cruise exceeded my expectations. It was a great experience with wonderful service, fantastic food and amazing shore excursions.

The ship's staff were excellent. They all introduced themselves to us and made sure that any need or request was quickly taken care of. There was a ship-board doctor available when I needed assistance. If we met one of the staff in a hallway, they would always greet us with a smile and ask how we were. I look forward to the next cruise we take and the staff that we will meet.

Viking was fantastic. We particularly enjoyed the New York 9/11 shore excursion (very moving). And the "Field to Fork at Les Jarins de Sophie" at Saguenay was outstanding. The Viking staff onboard the Neptune were the best ever. I rate Viking personnel the best of any cruise line I've travelled.

Overall this was an excellent Ocean cruise.

Great trip and experience overall with Viking. There were a few minor glitches but nothing monumental. The staff and organization were incredible.

As usual with a Viking Cruise, we felt pampered by the entire staff on the ship. They went out of their way to make us happy. The ship was gorgeous, spotless clean, and perfectly deigned. The food was wonderful, and always presented in an appealing way. I had heard that the Great Lakes were sometimes rough, so I was worried about getting seasick. On the Octantis we could hardly feel that the ship was moving because the ride was so smooth, and at night the ship is very quiet, and rooms seem soundproof..we did not hear our neighbors at all. In all it was a great cruise.

A great Viking experience. Our first ocean cruise with Viking and the service and attention to detail was superb

The Viking transatlantic crossing was fantastic. I so enjoy the days at sea with all of the many activities, plus lectures and entertainment.

Viking consistently delivers with a high degree of predictability.

Viking Cruises are always reliable-would recommend to anyone

We always enjoy cruising with Viking.

Excellent service

Always attentive, patient and professional, endless patience with some of our guests were difficult. But Mr. Warren was excellent, Sally call accompanied us on the trip through. Australia was wonderful patient and over and above her call to duty. Had a great time in spite of some weather issues that no one controls.

The staff was very responsive. Very very clean ship. My wife has several food allergies. At every meal she received reassurances that her meals were prepared separately with her allergies in mind. The food was excellent. Much better than some other cruise lines. Entertainment was excellent. Live band every night. Wine and beer included at lunch and dinner. Drinks and cocktails at other times were very reasonably priced. Cheaper than local bars.

Viking Ocean Cruise was a good experience and we especially enjoyed Greece. Overall Viking staff was excellent and added to the experience. Viking Sea is only a 930 passenger ship and had 907 passengers. We did not feel crowded and could easily find free space for us and our friends to find a quiet space to talk, drink or play cards. There were plenty of excursions to choose from.

Although we have little experience with ocean travels it will be safe to say that Viking would be qualified as a first class ship!!

Great service and an outstanding operation, from start to finish!

Viking is phenomenal. Outstanding service and tour experience. The pre-trip excursion in Tuscany was exactly what we were looking for.

The cruise was great

Viking handled the whole trip very well. Staff was well organized and tour provided were also very good. Treated exceptionally well by all food and bar staff.

Viking ship was beautiful and crew was professional, courteous and made the trip that much more enjoyable!

An excellent cruise. The quality of the food was very good in all the restaurants. The excursions, including the included tours, were well managed and the guides were excellent. Overall it is a cruise I would highly recommend. 

Viking is a one class operation. Someone is always there too help

Love Viking for size of ships, customer service, itineraries and overall experience.
