Viking Ocean Cruise Reviews (2024 UPDATED): Ratings of Viking Ocean Cruises (2024)

4.6

We chose this cruise because of its itinerary and our past experience with a Viking river cruise (City of Lights). We were very pleased, again! The handling of our luggage, excursions, guides, food/drink, entertainment, and ship staff (kudos to Fritzie) were all excellent. We really enjoyed the Beatles show and ‘dancing under the stars.’ We especially enjoyed our extension in Tuscany. Simona took

Viking handled everything and made the trip truly enjoyable. Transfer to the ship, suitcases delivered to the cabin. The cabin was a suite and It was wonderful. The service was outstanding, we wanted for nothing. We enjoyed the World Cafe, casual buffet restaurant, the food was delicious. They had so many options and great service. Everyone on the ship was friendly and helpful. I went to the spa

Viking is a great company and The Sea was a very comfortable ship. Loved the indoor spa. Desserts were delicious. It’s nice to have an outdoor pool with retractable roof. Room was quiet and steward took good care of us. Specialty restaurants were nice, but advise looking at Chef Table menu before reservation. There is no choice- only what Chef has prepared for the night. The buffet has many

Viking delivers their marketing branding. In an era of over-promising, false claims, and other questionable ethics, Viking delivered a high value cruise experience. It was our first time with Viking and we already booked another cruise. The staff, the ship, the excursion guides and the ports selected were all above average and many were excellent. We traveled as 2 couples, my wife and I and

It was truly a great experience. We visited many beautiful cities and there are so many things to do on the ship when not ashore. There is a fantastic spa with a sauna, steam room, ice room, ice plunge, and a water bucket to cool you down. The large heated whirlpool pool is relaxing and it even has a ladder to lay on with refreshing air bubbles massaging your body. On the upper deck there is a

Overall we were quite pleased with this itinerary and the shore excursions. This was our first cruise and therefore the first time on a Viking ocean cruise; it met or exceeded expectations which were high going in based on research and friends who had been on their cruises. The ports were a mix of some of the main cities in the region - Stockholm, Gdansk, Berlin, Oslo, Bergen - and a few

We loved this cruise and the destinations! Norway is amazing and we cannot recommend enough! The food on the ship was good, but not mind blowing - although I had about 4 dinners that truly were very very good! That is my greatest criticism. The staff, from housekeeping, room service, bartenders/servers, to waitstaff, were all BEYOND AMAZING!!! Viking's included tours are adequate to decent.

Love Viking policies - no under 18's allowed, free wi-fi, no formal nights, no casino, no ship photographer, no upcharge for specialty restaurants, no charge for laundry room, free tour in every port. The cabin (penthouse veranda) was perfect. Great bathroom, lots of space. Crew from room attendants to bartenders to servers to officers were efficient and always friendly and helpful. Background

This was our 11th cruise, but first on Viking Ocean. We didn't like this ship and we will not take Viking Ocean again. Although the ship was only 1 year old, I think it was made to the specifications of a mobile home. Our stateroom walls were thin, flimsy, and poorly insulated, making sounds from the hallway and from adjacent staterooms extremely noticeable. It was hard to get a good nights
