Worldwide Cruise Guide and Reviews

All of Australia, and New Zealand, Singapore, Dubai, Petra (Jordan), Luxor (Egypt,) The Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, the ruins in Rhodes and Greece wer some of the most amazing places we visited.

It was a great cruise, with a medium ship, I don’t like the biggest... The food was diversified, well made with a lot of seafood. All the teams made his best The soectacles was fine.

The Worldcruise was fantastic but the ship had two swimming pools but to small. The ship is making for a lot of passangers with childrens. A real familyship. The Captain was fantastic but he make only this Worldcruise . Now there is an other Captain. The shows wher real good. The food real good. The staff and crew real good. The AUREA facility's are bad.

Cruise was amazing. Had everything I needed on board but the highlights were definitely the places we stopped. Stumbled upon a facebook profile Costaluminosa Date and hooked up with a chef :) Would definitely book costa again. No hiccups. Everything went to plan. Excursions were a bit more expensive booking via costa but I guess its convenient. Sad its over. Next time I'll book a longer tour.

Have never traveled with so many rude and inconsiderate people. I was pushed, shoved, elbowed, jabbed in the back, tripped on purpose three times, yelled at and all by men. A friend of mine had a glass of water thrown in her face by a man. So many were always first on the bus, first off, first on the tender, first off, first row of the theater, first, first, first. Some quarantined for upper respiratory or lower gastro issues refused to stay in their cabins. Beautiful ship, wonderful staff and crew but Viking does not match its competition in terms of free unlimited shore excursions, pre-cruise hotel packages, transfers from hotel/airport to ship, etc. Penthouse Junior Suite is size of most lowest level staterooms on other ships. For a world cruise designated ship there was very little closet space. Port talks held the day before gave inaccurate or misleading information and there was no time to make a change or choose by then. Excursion evaluations were not read. WIFI was "hit or miss", unreliable and soooo slloooowww. Viking Voyage app is non-functional and useless. Every week of so it kept telling me that my cruise had ended and had to delete and re-download which was impossible with the WIFI. Solo travelers were charged inconsistently - some paid double, some 1.5, some 1.75 and some 1.25. Movie choices were limited and mostly second rate. Salt and pepper mills did not function. Free laundry and dry cleaning, mini bar, alcohol, one included shore excursion (mostly a bus tour with a quick drive by), luggage shipping to the ship, visa processing, business class air to and from ship, all gratuities, medical services were included plus shipboard credits. The itinerary was altered to not overnight in Manila in order to get to Shanghai for the ship's christening and we were promised an exquisite evening off the ship but it was a nightmare - food served was like the backwash of a river, the christening ceremony was blocked from our view and was shown on TV monitors, translations were at the same level of sound so neither the Chinese or English could be understood. And, the Chinese would not allow the American crew to come ashore at any Chinese port. The owner of Viking was not allowed to stay overnight on his own ship in Shanghai and was escorted onboard to retrieve his belongings by armed guards.
