Viking Ocean gets some of our highest client
reviews, an impressive 98/100." He said
the spa, which incorporates many Nordic
traditions, also sets Viking Ocean apart. "It's so
cool to hang out, moving between the sauna,
steam, hot tub and thalassotherapy pool into a
chilly snow grotto, with snowflakes drifting in
the air."
Another favorite spot for many-myself
included-was the Explorer's Lounge, with its
2-story window wall, navigational artifacts,
couches with blankets and reindeer skin
throws, and a cozy fireplace, safely "burning"
on hot vapor. Passengers also gathered at the
ship's two swimming pools-one where I could
actually swim laps. Come evening, there was
a wonderful cabaret-style lounge and a larger
showroom featuring production numbers where
singers and dancers seamlessly interacted with
a recorded digital backdrop. Viking Sky would
be a poor match for clients hoping for partyhearty, club-hopping nightlife, spin classes
or dueling waterslides, but it does a great job
of catering to its clientele. It also is a terrific
value, dollar-for-dollar.
"There is at least one included shore
excursion at every port-of-call and clients
often come back saying Viking Sky looks more
like a beautiful resort than a ship. They talk
about how they can enjoy the thermal spa and
the seven wonderful restaurants at no extra

charge...and often mention the attention to
detail, like the heated bathroom floor and
friendly staff that remembers their likes and
dislikes," says Angela Johnson, Exotic World
Travel LLC, an independent agency in the
Avoya Network.
The most basic cabin, a 270-sq.-ft.
verandah stateroom, includes a king-size bed
and seating area, a luxe bathroom with a
spacious shower and double sinks, and posh
robes and bedding. Viking estimates that
the amenities it includes as part of the fare,
such as beer and wine with lunch and dinner,
premium reserved dining, WiFi, self-service
laundry, access to the spa's Thermal Suite and
24-hour room service add up to more than
$200 pp per day for an average cruise.
The Viking Sky will sail itineraries in the
Americas and the Caribbean this fall and
then head back to Europe in the spring. ■
