Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
I'm not a huge buffet fan, but the 3 nights we tried the World Café, the variety of selections and food quality was amazing.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
One cant neat being in a hot tub on January 2 in the middle of the Ionic Sea!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We really enjoyed the guitar player in the Voyagers lounge each night. We never missed one of Col Anthony Coutts-Britton. His lectures were entertaining as well as educational.

Children's Programs

No Children allowed on Viking! The reason we love Viking :)

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Joni our room steward performed extraordinary service. He sensed our desire to have fresh ice each day and asked what time would be preferred and made sure if he wasnt on, someone else would make it so.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The entire ship was spotless.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The room was incredibly well laid out. Even the bathroom which is small, was designed better than any hotel I've stayed in, two of us could get ready without getting in each others way

Ports of call

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

5 out of 5
No excursions but we stayed on in Rome for 2 additional nights

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Seamless would be the best way to describe it. Again, Viking staff were plentiful and helpful in finding our luggage and escorting us to the van for transfer.
