Creator's Key Takeaways

Viking ocean is still an adult only line you must be 18 or older to cruise this was one of the reasons I actually chose this Cruise

I found the food on Viking is great and for small ships there are many options

service levels is high it's friendly attentive and personalized

I came away from Viking ocean Cruisers conflicted I love the ships the food the service the itineries and the focus on enrichment but I miss some energy and fun

YouTube Video Description↓

When I told friends, family, and followers online that I was headed off on a Viking Ocean cruise to Alaska, I was struck by how much misunderstanding and myths they all had about what it's really like to go on a Viking Ocean cruise. Because it had been a while since I'd last been on a Viking Ocean cruise, I also had many questions on what it was like these days and how and what had changed or was different. This is what I discovered it is like going on a Viking Ocean Cruise today.
