Hunt for the Northern Lights

MARCH

PROS

Viking platform works really well for our traveling

CONS

Thought this cruise versus Mediterranean cruise regarding food was not as good

RECOMMENDED

Yes

As always staff was great particularly the house keeping team - we did have a problem with our patio door that malfunctioned that created a loud wind sound that interrupted our sleep - Maintenance did try twice to fix but to not avail - so they moved us to a different room but allowed us to keep access the our first room so we did not have to move all our things. While we appreciated the move it did complicate the last few days off our voyage.

Cost of trip. Not seeing Aurora B. And taking two days of travel to board ship just before it left Bergen.

A great trip. Viking and our agent worked hard to change our reservation to get us to Norway. Best staff on any Viking cruise ever. Fantastic time despite not seeing “ Lights “ and travel problems.

Wonderful trip as always. Love the small ships. The crew & staff are amazing. They are always happy & greeting the passengers. The our cabin was spotless with nice fluffy pillows. I made a comment to my steward that I was coming down with a cold. He put on a new pillow case for me. He also noticed I had a Cpap machine. He said he would make sure I had distilled water every day. I have gluten intolerance. The dining staff made sure to ensure my concerns were met & seemed happy to make them come true. I love Viking!!

PROS

Remarkably comfortable ship. Exceptional dining. A welcoming and proficient staff to make us comfortable on our journey

CONS

Included tours could have been more diverse

RECOMMENDED

Yes

We couldn't be more pleased with our on board experience aboard the Viking Venus. We did feel most of the included tours were centered on bus rides around and through the cities. We would have preferred to have more tours focused on nature and walks and hiking and being outdoors. Museums and shopping are nice, but not every day when you want to experience the essence of another country.
