Vikings Antarctica expedition is a once in a lifetime trip. Our agent was amazing
Viking by far is the best cruise choice.
One of our best trips ever!! Viking was fantastic and the weather, itinerary, food, education and entertainment were all great!! Highly recommend this cruise.
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.
