2025Thank you for the memories
I’d like to acknowledge our cabin steward, Umi. She is outstanding and so very pleasant. We loved having her, always greeting us and trying to make our stay more comfortable. Also a big nod to Kenneth of the wait staff in the main dining room. The food was great and the staff was very welcoming. We loved Alaska and we loved Umi and Kenneth. Thank you for the memories.

So many people to thank for a fantastic time. The room steward was exceptional. Actually, the whole trip was amazing. Loved every minute. Viking or nothing in the future.

2025Went far beyond our expectations!
We did a cruise on the Viking Orion from Seward to Vancouver and it was all we could have expected. On an even more positive note, the Natural Alaska extension went far beyond our expectations. From the moment we boarded the bus to our end point in Seward, all was exciting and we felt well looked after by Betsy and Stephanie. The train, its views and our meal aboard were great fun. We loved Denali Lodge and the area around it. We enjoyed the outside fire areas and chats, enjoyed the new Visitor Centre and a few of us took a nature walk with such an enthusiastic guide! What pictures we got! Grizzly by the roadside, caribou, golden eagle and Dall sheep. We were so lucky. We had plenty of stops on the drive to Alyeska, including the huskies and a nice lunch. The hotel was great, right above the beach where we had a bonfire, and had WONDERFUL views over the Kenai Strait with the snow-capped mountains beyond. We went by boat across the strait to Gull Island and Seldovia and have pictures of all kinds of birds including puffins and humpback whales. Our cruise was lovely especially the northern part. The captain did so well getting us close to the glacier, the crew was brilliant, great entertainment and absolutely up to Viking standards. In conclusion, great holiday, wonderful extension and lovely service.

2019All we had hoped it would be.
The cruise was all we had hoped it would be. The ship was great and never felt crowded. Our stateroom was very comfortable and had everything we could possibly need. Food was great. . . . Entertainment in the theater was to a very high standard. The staff were always so polite and friendly, often there before we asked. . . . The guides were very informative and we felt we knew a lot more about the country and its indigenous people by the end of the cruise. We also had adequate free time to explore on our own. . . . Following the cruise we had a 6-day trip into the interior of Alaska to see places we were not able to on a cruise up the coast. . . . The whole 6-day trip was organized by Viking and up to their usual extremely high standard. We already have another cruise booked for January 2020, and that will be our 12th Viking cruise. Each one has been different and each one has been brilliant.

2019Viking is the best in Alaska
We had done Alaska before, but the Viking trip was the best. Staff were helpful and had idea of areas for us to see. My husband and i love to hike--we hiked or walked every day 10 miles or more. Back on the ship it was great. Food the best and service was outstanding. The views of ports so much closer than other trips of Alaska we had taken before. The iceberg were right there--you could feel the cold ice. Other ships you could see, but not like this. Do Alaska on Viking, you will happy you did.
