Viking Mars is best sorted probably for those in their seventies. I would say the average age was 75. The food was fantastic. There were lectures to listen to and I would describe the cruise as a scholarly cruise. I enjoyed the night time entertainment with the singers and music. If you want a more party cruise then Viking is probably not for you. Make sure you bring cash; Viking can only make change. There is not an ATM on board.
Embarkation

So easy. We were on board ship within fifteen minutes. We had a slight issue with our online check in.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
I loved the food in The Restaurant, Manfredi’s, and the buffet. I do not recommend The Chef’s Table.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Most of the onboard activities were not for a younger crowd. My dad and I spent most of the sea days in our cabin. We did take advantage of the spa.

Ship Quality

The design of the ship I would call European neutral. There wasn’t much color. The ship was very clean.

Ship tip
If you want for example 4 regular cokes instead of two cokes and two coke zeros leave a note for the cleaning crew and they will update your fridge for you!
Montego Bay was a more residential area and not the area for sightseeing. I would not recommend visiting this port. My dad and I did the included Jamaican History Tour. I would not recommend.
Beautiful shopping mall. There were stores and restaurants in the shopping mall if you do not do a cruise excursion at this port. There is even a Starbucks that is a short walk away.
Organized. Viking arranged us by color and number. My dad and I were purple two. There was even a bus waiting on us to take us back to the airport. On our bus everyone was flying Delta. I assume that if you booked through Viking that Viking organized all buses to be this way.
