Lovely cruise to see the British Isles British Isles (Ireland, Scotland & France) , NSW, Australia, Jul 2025
Every port on this British Isles Princess cruise was fabulous.....the shore excursions were filled with history, gorgeous scenery and value for money. We would choose to do the British Isles again, as the cruise covers so much and we would do different excursions to enjoy different sights. The weather in July was lovely and we were lucky enough to... read more have no rain.
Thank you Global Journeys and Hannah C for again making our holiday seamless and very, very enjoyable.
Lovely cruise around the UK British Isles Explorer , NSW, Australia, Jun 2025
Overall a lovely cruise. Once onboard everything was great. Cabin is nice (DV), crew wonderful, food great. We enjoyed the entertainment, particularly the shows put on by the Viking Vocalists. Two years ago we thought the excursions were very reasonably priced… now we think they are outrageously expensive. The included excursions are hit and miss. We... read more missed Dublin due to an issue with the mooring rope and the propeller. We were happy to make it into Shetland, apparently it’s easy to miss Shetland due to weather.
Into the Midnight Sun Into the Midnight Sun , VIC, Australia, Jun 2025
This is our first ocean cruise with Viking and it lived up to our expectations. We really enjoyed the itinerary especially starting at the Cutty Sark wharf, brief stops in the Orkneys and Shetland and cruising through the fiords of Norway. The included excursions at each port were very good. Our cabin and facilities were very comfortable. Overall... read more the ship was very good especially the included specialty restaurants - the Chefs Table and Manfredis. Our only disappointment was the dinner menu choices in The Restaurant. The World Cafe buffet was excellent for choice and quality. Georgie Walpole handled our booking efficiently as usual.
Wonderful cruise Icelandic Fjords & British Isles , NSW, Australia, Sep 2023
I would recommend this cruise. Iceland was an amazing destination. Happy with Princess. Even though Island Princess is one of their older ships I have no complaints.
