Viking Jupiter Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We have done several Viking cruises in the past. This one was again an excellent cruise. The primary thing that I would change is that for some of the excursions that had multiple groups going to the same site at the same time is to stagger the groups. For some of the sites, several Viking buses showed up at the same time. They can easily stagger these and should.

Quite simply the best ocean cruise experience I've had. The itinerary is magical, the ship is sublime, the staff is top notch and the shore excursions are curated for "the thinking person". Viking is on the top of its game. Can't wait until my next Viking Ocean cruise in May 2025!

Day's go by very quickly, no at sea days but this is one of the best value cruises I have been on.

Viking was amazing, even when Air France lost our luggage. Everyone was very helpful. All service was 5star.

I enjoyed the Jupiter, would have liked to have spent more time enjoying all the ship had to offer. Because all of our excursions were very long (due to where the destination was in relationship to the ship) we usually did not get back until 5:00. The post extension was very disappointing in the accommodations.

An interesting cruise but several ports were too similar. Ship staff provided excellent service. One suggestion would be 2 days for Venice stop — one half day for Chioggo and a full day for excursions to Venice due to distance from Venice.

This is the best vacation we have ever taken! So easy and luxurious! Being able to see so many wonderful places - some that we would not have known about without taking an excursion with Viking - while staying in such a lovely room with excellent options for dinner. It was like a floating 5 star hotel. Being taken care of meant that both of us were able to truly relax. I can't wait to take another cruise with Viking Ocean.

The cruise was an exceptional experience. The ports, excursions, on board life were all excellent. Other than the lost luggage incident, the experience was amazing. We would recommend spending 2 days in Gdańsk as a single day would not allow a full appreciation of a beautiful city.

We were very impressed with the overall service of the Viking crew and staff. A bit disappointed that we visited so many ports on holidays or Sundays when shops are closed. We did not like dealing with the air reservations and having to upgrade our seats after the fact rather than from the outset. Was a bit stressful.

The ship is great and the service is wonderful! We were fortunate that the weather let us dock in the Falkland Islands and we were able to circumnavigate Cape Horn. The only place we couldn’t go because of winds was Puerto Arenas.

VIKING DID EVERYTHING TO MAKE THE CRUISE FIRST CLASS. AREAS WE VISITED DO NOT COMPARE TO OTHER CRUISE WE HAVE TAKEN WITH VIKING. WILL ONLY CRUISE WITH VIKING.

This itinerary is high in sea days and the ports do not have a lot to see but wildlife. The extension to Iquazu Falls and Rio was the best part. If you book this cruise, book the extension.

On board - outstanding, would do another Viking cruise without hesitation if the only factor. Flights - poorly planned, would never go through their flight planning personnel again. Shore excursions: Included - low quality, bus window views and very heavily dependent upon the guide. Paid - high quality, typically guides were professional and interesting, visited sites were accessible and interesting. In general the on-board Viking experience is outstanding. However, that outstanding level does not carry over to the Viking flight planners and the included excursions.

We were going to book another Viking cruise on board the ship, but chose not to book. Our poor experience on this cruise has made me wonder if Viking is lowering their service levels, but still charging premium price.

Viking offers a wonderful product to see the ancient ruins on multiple continents! We enjoyed the tours, food, and the entertainment was above average but not excellent. We will definitely return for other cruises through Viking.

We greatly enjoyed each day aboard the Jupiter. We tried everything and did whatever was offered in order to experience as much as possible. We will recommend this cruise to everyone we share our story with !

Overall this was an excellent cruise and the experience on the Viking Jupiter ship was perfect. The original itinerary included Tallinn, St. Petersburg and Helsinki and were replaced by smaller places in Norway and the Aland Islands. We would have preferred more time in Berlin and Stockholm, as there were more places to see in these big cities, instead of the 6-8 hours we were given.

Great cruise except for lack of Viking personnel at departing airport

This was one of the top five cruises we’ve taken…and especially exciting to me as I saw the cities in Southern Norway that my mother’s family came from.

Our on board experience was great while on-shore experience before and after the cruise was the worst.
