Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The spa pool was incredible, the open area pool was lovely. We enjoyed the infinity pool several times. There were areas for games and a lot of outdoor seating on top deck. Loungers were always available. There was always a history talk going on, a movie showing and live music playing in several places around the ship.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Zeus was a guitar player and he was phenomenal. He went out of his way to learn a song if he didn’t know one we requested. He always engaged with the passengers. Great personality. The Viking band was very talented and the on board Singers/performers were a lot of fun. Some of the shows sounded hokey but we really enjoyed them. They had a Beatles night, Abba night and a decades of music night.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Cam was hands down one the best servers. Went above and beyond. So super friendly. Greeted us by name within one day. Valenko was once of the sweetest young men we have ever met. Always helpful. Gentle soul. Across the ship, service was superb. Servers and staff always greeted us.

Disembarkation

Too early for us 😢 But we had a flight to catch so we knew it had to be. They had coffee and drinks and pastries available. We ended up getting a sunrise tour of London. The Viking crew member actually pointed out sites along the way.
