The Viking Sky is beautiful and well designed, as are the cabins. The ship is immaculate. Like a 5-star hotel on the water. The size of the ship is perfect and the ratio of passengers to crew is about 1 ½ crew to every passenger. Our cabin attendants provided amazing service twice daily and we were always made to feel like we were coming home at the end of a long day of touring, as they always greeted us by name and with a big smile! The cabin itself was well designed with a Scandinavian flair. We were in a Veranda cabin, with a balcony with a table and 2 chairs, refrigerator, a very comfortable king size bed, coffee table and two upholstered chairs, a desk with a built-in storage/ make-up mirror that lit up and a lovely modern bathroom, which included a heated floor. The room also included ample storage space and a safe for valuables. Viking provided robes and slippers for our use while on the ship. We took advantage of the gym, luxurious spa and shipboard classes that were offered and were wonderful! We enjoyed the onboard food in all the restaurants and ate twice in each specialty restaurant that is all included. There are many public areas that seem under-utilized where passengers seeking solitude can find peace and quiet. We enjoyed the onboard historian, the port talks, the nightly entertainment in the various venues and the cruise director. We found the Viking Homelands itinerary to be exceptional, as it hit most of the destination highlights that we were looking for on our Scandinavian adventure. The included tours were excellent due to the quality of the tour guides, as were the optional tours that we took.
Pros: Beautiful, well designed ship and cabins, great itinerary, tours and excellent food.
Cons: Did not get to sign up for 2 tours that we had wanted, as they were sold out.

The ship, crew, and activities/entertainment were wonderful. Our only disruption was missing the visit to the Shetland Islands because of weather conditions but we got an extra day in Bergen.
Pros: Wonderful trip that went according to plan.
Cons: The weather for this itinerary is typically cool and rainy but we managed to avoid most of the rain.

We were treated like family and at the end of 4 months, we FELT like family too! While the destinations were undeniably magical, what truly elevated the experience was the phenomenal service we received aboard our magnificent ship. Every encounter, from the attentive crew remembering our names from the very first day, waitstaff remembering our favorite drinks to the housekeeping staff leaving our room sparkling clean every day, was a testament to their dedication. The crew's thoughtfulness and acts of kindness and helpfulness truly went above and beyond. We disembarked feeling not just well-rested and exhilarated, but also deeply touched by the incredible hospitality we received.
Pros: Attention to Detail in Every Aspect. Genuine warmth & attentiveness, Crew made you feel like Royalty the minute you step on board until the end, amazingly CLEAN, Availibility of the officers was unbelieveable!! Food was tremendous...in presentation and taste and variety.
Cons: The ship's AC was run too cold.
