An immersive experience to five countries
Renuka Christoph, The Tennessee Tribune, 9/22/23
I have been travel writing for well over a decade and must admit I was a skeptic when it came to cruising. I love to go off the beaten path, explore the land, eat with the locals and be on my own time frame. I figured a cruise would limit discovery time and feel confining. However, upon entering the Viking Sky, I was mesmerized by its stunning beauty, exquisite Scandinavian design and impeccable detail at every corner, and ultimately approaching each country from sea.
Guests were warmly welcomed into a lap of luxury within The Living Room on Deck 1 where a live pianist performed daily. No detail was spared including the squared back of the lounge chairs so that jackets can properly hang. A focal point was a ceiling to floor digital art graphic above the platform of the central stairway, changing daily to reflect local culture.
Assiduous staff extended gracious hospitality, from my personal cabin attendant Chitra to servers at each of the dining locations. Guest services was readily available on the first floor to answer all questions. With only 980 adult passengers onboard, there was a sense of connectivity as we were catered to in excellence.
There was such a diverse range of things to do while aboard that I wish I could have had more sea days. The Viking Daily newsletter covered details on the port of call and onboard activities including trivia night, afternoon high tea at the Wintergarden, port talks and lectures at The Star Theater and live performances at the Torshavn Lounge and Bar.
