Europe - Northern Europe Cruise Reviews

We loved our Baltic cruise and are super glad we were able to make it happen. So many highlights I have no idea where to begin.

Enjoyed almost every moment. Smooth sailing, nice to have light til late in the evening. Food was fabulous, employees friendly and helpful. Enjoyed our balcony.

was ok but not what I expected from previous princess cruise, was disappointed from the behavior of the staff that looked so poor and unhappy, I felt very sorry for them and for me to disturb them....

This was our 8th cruise and our first cruise with Norwegian. We wanted to see the Baltic cities and chose this cruise as we though it was good value for the 9 nights and we did not want to go on a 11 or 13 night cruise. We did not like the Freestyle dining. I much prefer a set dining and show time. Even though it is Freestyle, you have to reserve your seating ahead of time and the same with the 3 main shows. The shows were adequate. Norwegian staff did not do much to make sure people obeyed rules (kids in the Adult hot tub, people sitting in stairwells, drunks in the spa). We did not use Norwegian shore excursions because they were unbelievably expensive. We used TJ Travel. Many outdoor activities were closed during our sailing due to weather, but the weather was not stormy -- it was just overcast and cool. The highlights: our balcony cabin was worth the extra money, our cabin steward was good, and the food was not bad. Overall, I much prefer Disney or Carnival for the service, things to do, shows, and amenities, but these were not offered in the Baltic.

I was not sure what to expect since I had never been on a Regent cruise or to the Baltic Sea. I was overwhelmed with both. The ship and the staff are unbelievable and I really can’t begin to describe the experience. The food and drink are 5 star at every meal. The service is great and the staff is beyond friendly and helpful. All of the ports are great except Berlin which I think you can skip if you are on the cruise. If you go to Moscow be ready for an 18 hour day that is worth the time.

Viking cruise lines gave us an amazing voyage experience with friendly knowledgeable & professional staff throughout the ship. The cabin, food & waitstaff made it a very enjoyable experience. The ship ‘SKY ‘ was excellent. Very good itinerary especially St Petersburg

I would recommend this cruise to everyone who is interested in the natural beauty, history, and culture of Norway. The best way to experience the midnight sun, fiords and waterfalls of Norway’s west coast. The small Pacific Princess ship is ideal because it can sail into the fiords and smaller towns. Also the ship is easy to navigate and the service is very good.

Would highly recommend this cruise. Excellent value, great food and service!

The cruise was relaxing, and served the purpose of letting us recover from jet lag after a long flight from the West Coast before a demanding week in London. It was disappointing that one tour (in Copenhagen) was cut short, and another stop (Skagen) cancelled entirely.

This was a family cruise. It was also our first cruise. Everyone had a great time and we highly recommend Seabourn for the ship, staff and excursions. We will look to cruise with them again.

First time in a smaller ship. Pro: great service and attention from the crew and staff, efficient and easy, getting on and off the ship is a breeze. Con: smaller ship bounces a lot in open seas. Every time we left the protected fjords it was really noticeable. One review I read before the trip was that it would be a mix of US, UK and Canadians and middle-aged. It was 90+% US. And if 70 is the new middle age then I am feeling really young. Great cruise though.

For my husband and myself, this was a second honeymoon and a bucket list trip. We loved almost every aspect of the ship, the staff, and the new friends we have made on board. We lived life to the fullest! We felt like we were kids again. The historic setting of the European capitals and major cities really enhanced our experience, because we learned so much as well.

Great to see several countries to help you decide which ones you want to visit again for more thorough exploration.

We loved the NCL Getaway and the friendly, kind staff! This is a LARGE ship, and thus there are plenty of things to do, especially during the days at sea such as the casino, trivia games, and shows...we loved the food/meal options, and tried them all. The excursions were a bit pricey, but very, very good!

Overall it’s a great trip. The cruise line has great customer service and station room cleaning staff. Need improve communication about port address and provide bus or free shuttle information.

Great cruise, great ports, great staff, great food. Room 10449 not great if you like to sleep.

Pick a different line. Having sailed others and NCL I was surprised how much I felt like NCL couldn’t be bothered with customer service. They sell themselves as a higher level cruise line but they did not live up to it on this cruise.

It was an excellent cruise, however, if you don’t like crowds and cold weather, you should think about other ships.

Never paid for a drink with the adult liquor package (base brands included Tito's, J.Walker, Tangueray and many others). Internet was bad in the room (download 1MB per minute). Less than half were Americans on board. Older crowd.

The Marina is a beautiful ship and we had a great experience. The ports of call were wonderful and overall the food was very good. The staff was exceptional. I would go on the Marina again and overall it is a fantastic experience. As with any review, the "issues" stick out more than the overall wonderful experience.
