Viking ocean ships are tailor made for "destination immersion" — zipping in and out of fantastic ports of call in their lithe, state-of-the art vessels. But the ships themselves are darned impressive, too, holding 930 passengers. The perfect size for a cruise ship.
I reviewed the Viking Sun after our two-week cruise to Scandinavia and the Baltic Sea last July and August. And I posted the following Visual Lists highlighting the places we visited:
- Stockholm's Old Town in photos (Visual List)
- Whimsical sculpture garden in Denmark (Visual List)
- Day trip to Helsinki, Finland (Visual List)
- A day in pretty Old Gdansk, Poland (Visual List)
- Copenhagen: Canals & colors (Visual List)
- A day in Tallinn, Estonia (Visual List)
- Impressionist masterpieces at the Hermitage (Visual List)
- Berlin & Egyptian art (Visual List)
- Canal Cruise of St. Petersburg, Russia (Visual List)
- Peterhof Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia (Visual List)
- Peter & Paul Fortress in St. Petersburg, Russia (Visual List)
- Stavanger & Eidfjord, Norway (Visual List)
- Bergen, Norway (Visual List)
Yes, this was all on the same cruise, believe it or not!
In the photo gallery at top, you'll get a visual taste of what sailing on Viking Sun (or one of her identical sister ships) is like. This was our second Viking ocean ship sailing (after Viking Star), but it won't be our last. I think you'll see why.
