Viking Ocean Transatlantic Cruise Reviews

This was our first ocean cruise with Viking; since we usually do river cruises with Viking. We stayed in stateroom which had plenty of room for the two of us and was very clean. The crossing was fairly smooth and the weather was great most of the way. We liked most of the food that was served. I liked the sushi and special salads available every evening. My wife really like the fruit bar ...

This was our 4th cruise with Viking and we were a little uncertain about doing a Crossing with 6 consecutive days at sea. Turned out we need not have worried. We especially enjoyed the Cooking Class, Galley Tour & Bridge Tour. Crew was exceptional as always. If we had our choice we would love some sea days and a few more port visits, but this cruise was very relaxing and we would do it again. We ...

My trip on the Viking Star was fabulous and exceeded my expectations. The food in the World Cafe was exceptional and we ate there for dinner for 6 of our 14 nights. We also dined at Manfredi's and the Italian food was very good. However, the real gem is the Chef's Table--gourmet dining at its best! It's a 5 course dinner with 4 wine pairings. You sit back and enjoy the food experience as ...

I'm a seasoned cruise afficionado, and I can't sing high enough praises about Viking, the staff, the crew, the food, the entertainment, the lectures, the amenities, the activities, and the overall experience. I have never been more impressed with the design of a ship, the ambiance, the level of service, and the variety in cuisine that we experienced on the Star. Our cabin was more spacious and ...

There is a great, positive culture with the staff on the ship. Chef's table was excellent. The staff, even when I heard a guest or two complaining (wrongly), the staff smiled and happily said they would pass the word to the chef, etc. Food was great. The astronomer, history and nature talks were excellent. The ship was spotless. Again, the staff was pleasant and smiled always. We booked ...

Terrific cruise. Ship was perfect, very well maintained. Crew was great. Many crew members knew our names early. Cabin Steward Julia was terrific. Food was excellent. Two lobster nights. No extra charge for a second lobster tail if desired. Planetarium was a nice bonus, the programs were fascinating, one in 3-D. The Junior Suite was well designed and very spacious. The bathroom had two ...

My wife & I have wanted to do a repositioning cruise for some time, and have just returned from a wonderful Viking Ocean transatlantic voyage from Ft. Lauderdale to Barcelona March 2 ~ 16, with stops in St. Martin and Madeira. We used Viking Air throughout, and upgraded to Delta One on the long return flight. We stayed overnight the day before at the Embassy Suites 17th Street, Ft. ...

We have been sailing with Seabourn for years and the biggest reason we love them is that their luxury but relaxed and every time we come on board, we feel like we’re coming home due to the amazing staff and crew. The moment we walked on the Viking Mars, we felt the same way. From the fantastic Nordic minimalistic design to the fantastic way the staff and crew make you feel. It is never pomp and ...

This was our first experience with Viking, and I was really looking forward to the cruise. Loved the size of the ship, and the experience and value of a repositioning itinerary. The cabin was excellent, as were our pair of cabin stewards. We also had very good experiences with the staff in the restaurants. There were two let-downs for me - where Viking fell short of my expectations (and ...

Everything onboard was beyond expectations. The food, service, activities, cleanliness, and comfort - top shelf. I loved the heated floor in the bathroom and the large shower. I found few waiting times for anything. There were many nice areas for card games or intimate visiting with friends. I enjoyed the lovely music in the atrium and especially the guitar player in the Explorers Lounge. The ...
