Viking Ocean Viking Mars Cruise Reviews

First time on a Viking cruise. We've been on others, but this experience was definitely notches above the others. Food was great, and their attention to customer service was exceptional. Our cabin was great. We felt like we were in a high end hotel. The staff was very attentive and made sure we we were well taken care of. They also do a great job coordinating the excursions. There are various ...

Nice ship, new, intelligent design, great staff from top to bottom, great food, well organized. Uneven educational opportunity, some excellent, some less so. Excellent overall cruising experience. That said, cruising is a lifestyle and subculture which is either in your blood or not. In our case, not. This is a matter of personal preference - we will probably not pursue cruising further - but his ...

Our cruise was amazing. Everything Viking does from how immaculate the ship and rooms are to the free excursions in every port are top notch. Because of the Mar's size and the much lower amount of passengers it can accompany we never felt crowded anywhere on the ship. There were so many places onboard inside and out to have quiet time to yourself. The ship's crew were all very polite and provided ...

We were on the ship for 2 weeks and it flew by. The ship itself, all the options for dining, entertainment, luxurious accommodations, cruise amenities, included and extra excursions, outstanding crew & excellent service were amazing. We were blown away by all Viking had to offer. This was our first cruise and it was so fabulous, we booked another river cruise for 2026. We are now spoiled and ...

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 ...

We are frequent cruisers, averaging about 1.5 cruises per year. We have come to the conclusion that every Viking Ocean Cruise will be wonderful and so easy for the passengers. We chose this cruise as we would get the full Viking experience without having to take long flights. 5 hour flights, LAX to Miami and back. Every aspect of this cruise was first class and amazing. We can’t wait till ...

This was the BEST cruise I have ever been on. The excursions were exciting and informative. I learned so much about the Panama Canal that I never expected. During our days at sea, there was so much to do and so many wonderful people to meet from all over the world. The entertainment was great and there was something to do for everyone. Some of the activities really opened everyone up. We had so ...

This cruise was the epitome of a true vacation experience. No checks to settle, no supplies to buy, no arrangements to worry about. Once paid for and excursions picked and spa treatments scheduled, RELAX in luxury. I felt like an imposter on the ship but went with it. No lines, ever. Gourmet restaurants. Amazing ports. I had zero complaints over the 2 weeks we sailed. Booked on 3 future adventures ...

We have over 40 cruises under our belts, but this was our first Viking Ocean cruise. The ship and furnishings are beautiful with plentiful public spaces in which to spread out and relax - crowding was extremely rare or non-existent. Staterooms are comfortable with roomy bathrooms (and heated floors!). Food quality and choice of dining venues were generally excellent. Crew was consistently helpful ...
