We have sailed several times on Celebrity (Aqua cabin ) and Princess ( mini suite) and usually book last minute to get the best prices. We are considering booking a Viking Ocean cruise from Bergen to London in June, the itinerary looks great but the cost is triple the price when compared to comparable cabins on Princess and Celebrity. We are looking for a different experience, as we do not care for a lot of the glitz, the focus on shopping , extra costs for specialty coffee and wine and the large crowds. We would love to have more healthy food choices as well. The design of the ship and especially the spa area looks very appealing but I do have some concern about the ship being a little too quiet. But the key question is the high price tag.....I have no qualms about spending money but just wondering if others have felt like they got their moneys worth on the Viking Ocean cruises. Also airfare is included but since we are flying from San Francisco to Europe I normally use my points to upgrade to business and they do not offer a deduction if you don't book your flight with them. Thanks for your comments, Linda

Thank you for your comments. Curious to know anyone's thoughts about the Viking Ocean Cruise ships. Are they as stable as the larger ships like the Celebrity Equinox size ships or the Princess ships? I don't usually have an issue on these larger ships but I was just concerned about the smaller 900 passenger Viking ships that sail around Norway.

I am prone to motion sickness but I am excited about trying out one of the Viking Ocean cruise ship for a Norway trip on the Viking star and was wondering what others have experienced . Curious to know if so you feel more motion on these smaller ships than the Celebrity and Princess boats. Should I be concerned about getting seasick on this Norwegian cruise?

thanks so much, any insight would be greatly appreciated.

That's $400 for 8 people. If you arrange for your own taxi (100 Euro round trip) for 8 people, it will only cost 12.50 Euro per person (less than $15).

Does anyone have room for two more in their taxi going to Bruges on May 2nd?

Just wondering if anyone on the April 19th Silhouette TA has planned a private group tour of Normady or if anyone has a recommendation for a good tour operator.

thanks
