Viking Star

Wonderful cruise but very American orientated. Lectures onboard were informative but also directed to the American audience. Shore excursions were well organised and entertainment fantastic. Size of ship is also appealing. Global Journeys were great to book through and will continue to organise my travel arrangements through Georgie.

Having travelled with Viking twice in the last few years, my wife Sue and I decided to venture out on our third adventure …this time with Viking Odyssey. With extensions available at both ends of the journey, we opted to take on both options that had us visit Madrid and Venice. These adventures were ‘must do’ experiences that were supported by Viking read more staff that presented amazing knowledge and information that were highly appreciated.

On board with Viking Star, we once again booked the Penthouse Verandah suite….just sensational on all avenues. Our experiences on ship were all a 10 out of 10. All staff members are genuinely friendly and helpful… through the roof. The restaurant venues and choices are second to none. l must say, the quality and range of options is outstanding. I must say, it’s not difficult to understand why people continue to travel with Viking. It really is a case of ‘when you travel with the best, forget the rest. Many thanks Viking… our next adventure with you is now very close.

We are frequent travellers, been to over 70 countries, but Iceland is different. It is a small countries with under 370,000 people, very friendly, easy going population. It is geologist’s heaven, you can see all kinds of earth activities. The capital Reykjavik is fairly small, with 2 main streets where restaurants and souvenir shops are. Perlan Museum read more is a must, a great place to introduce one to the landscapes of Iceland. We enjoyed the Sky Lounge spa very very much, better than Blue Lagoon. Viking cruises are always comfortable, understated elegance. The week we were there, June 26 - July 3,the weather was cold, wet and windy.

Our Viking cruise around Iceland didn’t disappoint. Every port was absolutely beautiful and sometimes we felt we had the place to ourselves. Thank you Tracey and team for many changes to this booking through Covid.

16 days of pure luxury, with brilliant and caring staff. The cabin was great as was the food and the entertainment on board. Shore excursions were very good particularly Ephesus & the Acropolis. Croatia was a delight with wine & olives. Only disappointment was shore trip to Burano and Murano, which were interesting once we had arrived but two hours read more on the most uncomfortable hard seats in the cramped boat was not pleasant.

The Viking cruise was very good. Apart from a couple of missed destinations because of the weather, everything was great. Accommodation and food on board was excellent. Will definitely travel with Viking again. Global journeys handled our booking very well, despite the delays and difficulties associated with Covid-19 where the information provided with read more regards to testing required prior to boarding could have been better.
