Viking Venus, Mediterranean

4

Overall a very good cruise. We had previously only cruised with Fred Olsen and it was interesting to compare the two lines. The airport pickup and transfer in Spain was very good as was disembarkation in Tilbury. The cabins or 'staterooms' seemed large and of a very high standard. Food was good and exceptional in the 'free' Italian restaurant however the dining areas were crowded, noisy and the service was slow. Dress was much less formal than I was expecting for the evening meals. There wasn't that much in the way of activities during the day and the evening music in the bars seemed to close rather early. The evening show was unambitious - just singing Beatles and ABBA songs etc. The lectures were a bit hit and miss. The included shore excursions although well organised were tedious and uninspired almost certainly better to explore oneself. . The Spa area with free access was amazing. The ship was beautifully furnished throughout. The (complimentary for us) all inclusive drinks was a very good including several decent wines and spirits. Free WiFi was good and reliable.

Would we go with Viking again? Definitely, although I think without special offers their fares are a bit on the high side compared to some for the experience you get.
