Review summary

My wife and I have cruised with many different lines over the years because the itinerary is my first consideration. I believe that Viking Ocean is now one of my first choices for a number of reasons- no casino (thus, no casino smoking), no children, small number of passengers, great food tastes and variety.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Specialty restaurants were great, but the main dining restaurant varied their menu every night (easily viewed on stateroom tv), and it allowed a delicious variety to the dining experience.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Guest lectures were entertaining and informative. The 'blue nose' ceremony was chilling.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The four ship's singer/dancers put on two fun shows. The guest pianist was also very good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

A+ for ship's staff. Their enthusiastic performance was top of the line for cruise ships. Hats off to the training staff, too.

Just the right size for us.

Ship tip

Make sure you use the room's tv which has so much information available about excursions, dining menus, and daily schedules.
