On board Viking Sea Cruise

Thank you for sharing this. We have done Viking River Cruise and are very interested in an ocean cruise. (one tip, slow down the panning of the video)

I did a Viking River Cruise and loved it. Now in Viking Star on a sea cruise and a really sad shock. What we loved from the river cruise hasn’t carried across. Some is the same - housekeeping are great etc, but imho it’s just an old boat badly refitted and not up to it. Whe’ve had problems with the junior penthouse we are sailing in. The most annoying one is a high humming noise travelling from the ships a/c ducts into our room. Guest services didn’t respond,. Housekeeping did and had it fixed pretty quickly although not his job.👍🏼2 days later whichever person turned it up last time did it again so I’m back at square one. 👎🏼Just one example but what they add up to is I ‘ve really not liked this cruise and couldn’t possibly recommend it to anyone else. Just my opinion of course.

Excellent video, with professional commentary. No selfies or face shots. Keep up the good work.

You implied that "everything" in the spa area has a cost. That is incorrect. The spa pool, saunas, ice room, etc. are included. The costs are for things like massages and hair appts.
Also, all tips are not included. The daily gratuity for the stewards/waiters, etc. is additional. On the cruise we have booked - we are paying $17/d/pp.

The background music is distracting.

Excellent review, for both the audio and video. Minor quibbles are that there is occasional entertainment on the stern deck adjacent to the bar, and that there is food service provided in the bow adjacent to the Explorer’s Lounge. You are quite right to point out the significance of the Viking design aesthetic. It provides a visual component and cue to the overall approach of elegance without overstatement, comfort, serenity and intelligence.
