Viking Jupiter Cruise Reviews - Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 was my first ocean cruise and it will be my last most likely. Much prefer the river cruise experience. Far more intimate and educational.
