Wonderful Mediterranean Cruise

Review for a Mediterranean Cruise on Viking Venus

This was a wonderful trip although I would hesitate to go back during the Christmas/Ephiphany holiday as we lost two stops along the way due to the holiday. Having said that, Viking made it very nice to celebrate on the ship. We had a nice Christmas, a fun New Year’s Eve and an amazing spread on New Year’s Day. I would not take any other cruise line again after sailing with Viking. This was ...

A great way to see the historic sights in Greece

We were interested in this cruise because we had never been to Greece or Turkey and were excited to follow the journey of the Apostle Paul. We booked a guaranteed verandah cabin and let Viking choose our particular stateroom and were thrilled to have been upgraded to the 6th deck in a lovely midship deluxe verandah cabin. Our stateroom, the service and food and beverage choices and the entire ship ...

I sailed with them before on a river cruise the year before and loved it. Although the ports of call were changed due to the conflict in Israel, we were very happy with the replacement ports of Cyprus and Malta. The ship’s crew was fantastic. Always helpful and smiling. The ship itself is beautiful. The shore excursions (both included and optional) were great selections. Our only wish was that ...

Viking shipboard service was impeccable. The included excursions did not always match their descriptions, especially the driving excursions. Some of the excursion guides seemed to lack training and enthusiasm which made the excursion below expectations. Viking food was okay, nothing special Twice menu items preselected for medical diet were unavailable because the wrong menu was ...

While most of us were disappointed in not being able to visit The Holy Lands - we certainly understood and found Malta to be an excellent alternative. We thoroughly enjoyed the Greek islands and had wonderful excursions with the exception of Cyprus. The excursion in Cyprus was interesting but it seemed as if there was little pride in the island - many abandoned residential and commercial ...

We used O's Extraordinary Savings Sale to get our B3 cabin for a mere $1749 PP plus $300 OBC PP (which paid our gratuities). So, the price alone made this trip worth it. BUT we travel for itineraries and this one did it for us. We only had the 1 sea day, which I do not enjoy that much, but we had Athens, Kavala, Istanbul, Messina, Naples, Rome, La Spezia (changed due to weather from Livorno), ...

This was our ninth cruise with Oceania. We started on Riviera and were totally thrilled. Coming over from Cunard Queens Grill as the Oceania way of doing things suited us better. That first cruise was a 10/10 for us, and we’ve been committed ever since. The small changes that have been made are never to enhance the passenger experience. The food has slipped. Not always, but not as refined, not ...

We were spoiled by our prior cruises and very disappointed with our recent cruise and the sell, sell, sell underhanded charging for services. A few examples. I booked a $199 spa treatment and I had a $50 coupon. I expected a $149 bill with optional tip, but the final bill was $247 plus optional tip because they added service and other charges not discussed with me. Next, Oceania cancelled one ...
