Here’s what our guests have to say about their Viking journey.
"I was very impressed with the high-quality and attentive service. The calm and peaceful atmosphere was wonderful, and the food was absolutely delicious. Overall, Viking Yi Dun exceeded my expectations."
"The staff were kind, friendly, and incredibly attentive—it felt great to be so well looked after. I also loved the tasteful, calming interior design."
"Other passengers told me, ‘You’re lucky to have Viking as your first cruise,’ and I now see what they meant. I spent a peaceful, elegant week that truly felt a level above."
"The staff at the second-floor restaurant were outstanding. They adjusted portions based on how I was feeling and offered a delightful variety of small, delicious dishes. I’m truly grateful for their thoughtful service."
"Even though it was a 30-day cruise, every day was so enjoyable that the time just flew by. I’d love to book another Viking cruise—this time with my family, since I traveled solo this time."
"This was my first cruise, so I was a bit anxious, but the crew's attentiveness made it an incredibly comfortable experience. I’d love to sail again someday when the weather is just right."
"No matter where I was on the ship, the crew greeted me with a smile—it made each day feel special. Everything about the cruise was simply wonderful."
"A truly luxurious ship! The mature, relaxing atmosphere, the food, the staff’s friendly smiles, the tasteful interiors and cozy cushions, the cleanliness, even the stylish restrooms—it was the best cruise I’ve ever experienced. I definitely want to sail with Viking again. Not having a dress code made things even more enjoyable."
"Viking is my favorite cruise line now! It’s incredibly comfortable. I’ll definitely be back—see you again!"
"I had never heard of Viking before this trip, but I was blown away by the staff’s courtesy and warmth. The food was delicious, and I had such a fun week."
"I definitely want to sail with Viking again. Everyone was so kind, warm, and helpful—so many moments moved me in ways I’ve never experienced on any other ship. I was even brought to tears watching the final crew performance. The food was amazing, the desserts changed daily, and I looked forward to the rotating ice cream flavors. I could feel the chefs’ hard work and appreciated it deeply. Thank you to everyone who welcomed me with a smile."
"I absolutely love Viking! I’ve cruised five times—November, January, February, and March—and I’ll be boarding Viking Yi Dun again in May and November. Looking forward to it!"
"This cruise was unlike any I’ve taken before. My last cruise was disappointing, so I chose Viking Yi Dun—which was the complete opposite—and it was perfect. I don’t think I could ever go back to another line. I hope Viking continues operating in Japan for a long time."
"This was my eighth cruise, and Viking was by far the best. The staff welcomed me with genuine smiles and gracious service. It was a beautifully calm and relaxing cruise. Even the public restrooms had birdsong and lovely hand towels!"
"Although this was my first cruise, I was completely satisfied. I had worries about cruising before, but Viking’s staff won me over with their hospitality. Other passengers had told me, “If you’re going to cruise, Viking is the best,” and now I understand why. I’m already planning my next voyage. Thank you for the amazing 8-day island tour!"
"I enjoyed my first Viking cruise so much that I quickly booked another—and was just as happy with the experience. A third cruise is definitely happening. The cabin was relaxing, the food was incredible, and the crew were amazing. The complimentary shuttle buses at each port were a huge plus. I also got a commemorative stamp on my postcard today—it made for a wonderful memory."
