Europe - Northern Europe Cruise Reviews

Scandinavian cruise is a must! Beautiful ports although wished more time in both Stockholm & Copenhagen. Learned so much history especially about Vikings.

We had a wonderful 2 week cruise, blessed with sunny skies on most days. Due to high winds and waves we were unable to dock in Bornholm or Mariehamn. However, Viking arranged for docking in Tallinn, Estonia which was outstanding.

It was disappointing, considering the paucity of entertainment, the shortchanging of the passengers by Royal Caribbean in Alesund, and the inexplicable absence of the captain from visibility throughout the cruise. We will be demanding some sort of a refund from Royal Caribbean. This was our 5th sea cruise overall, the last 4 of them on Royal Caribbean, with another river cruise to boot under our belt. We are seriously thinking whether our loyalty to Royal Caribbean is warranted.

As always, and excellent choice with an amazing cruise company! Our third time on Jewels of the Seas; second time this year! Love RC and the excellent service, itinerary at a reasonable costs!

Cruse exceeded all of our expectations. The itinerary was well paced allowing lots of time to explore or relax, dependent on your preference.

Great cruise--wonderful ports but you need to get out on excursions to see it all! The sea days to port time was great, good relaxing days mixed with day long tours.

I am now spoiled. This cruise was everything we wanted and more.

The cruise was amazing, great sights, excellent tours, amazing food and wonderful staff. I would definately recommend it to anyone.

Lots of variety, well organized, very accommodating good food.

I think cruising Norway is probably the easiest and best way to see the remote country.

Cruising this area of the world was wonderful. Beautiful landscapes, interesting ports of call,

If you are recent to cruising, you will think the cruise was great, but being a long time cruiser it’s not what it once was.

The ship itself is the perfect size - around 250 passengers. The staff were amazing, food excellent. The only negative was the delayed disembarkation and resultant stress at the airport on the departure flight. A truly unprofessional end to an otherwise excellent holiday experience.

Our cruise had to eliminate most of the port stops due to ice on the sea, so we spent more time on the ship than expected. The crew did their best to keep us entertained, but twice as many sea days as expected was tedious, and the sights and wildlife he hoped to experience did not materialize. It was a LONG boat ride.

Great destinations but limited excursions. Too many people mostly confined to indoor spaces. Food was just okay with not enough choices. Bar service was awesome in the Whiskey Bar. Casino was stingy. Too much to explore in a short time…felt I didn’t have enough time to even scratch the surface.

Food, staff, and itinerary were great. Small ship had both positives and negatives in terms of public areas. Cabin small; bathroom smaller. Fairly expensive.

I didn't expect much from a 22 year old ship. The ship itself was ok, no foul smells. The crew were awesome! The food was delicious, no need to waste money at specialty restaurants. Cabin steward was amazing. I DO NOT recommend this ship for any cool weather itineraries due to over crowding. There was literally nowhere to sit & relax, every seat was taken. The pool area was unavailable due the cold weather & rain, no retractable Roof.

We had a great time. I will take it again. I didn't enjoy the spa, I booked a pedicure that was supposed to be 45 min and it only lasted 18 minutes, it was the fastes pedicure I've had.

Enjoyed the cruise overall. Might have underestimated how cool and rainy it was. The verandah was great, except for most days it was too cool to sit outside.

Had a fantastic time on the ship and in the ports! I highly recommend doing this cruise.
