Oceania cruise vs viking ocean cruises

[Cahpek]

Hi,

We have been “fans” of Oceania and have cruised with thema number of times on both their “O” and “R” class ships – lovely accommodationand wonderful cuisine. We have also tried Azamara and liked them too, especially their “Azamazing”evenings and friendly Captains and senior managers.

Recently, we have booked with Viking Ocean on a two-weekcruise . We tried to look for threads on the boards of Cruise Critic thatcompares Viking vs Oceania, but we couldnot find them.

Can readers here onCruiseCritic who have had experience travelling with both Viking and Oceaniagive us some idea what to expect when comparing these cruise lines?

I prefer Oceania. Viking's decor is modern, it includes wine or beer with meals, also a tour in every port. Viking's rooms are bigger, the bathroom is larger with a bigger shower. Every Viking cabin has a balcony.

The included tours are very basic, but the optional tours are well priced.

I found Viking to be too efficient, almost cold. They are hard to deal with, my TA hates them. There is technology in all interaction, not warmth.

I like them both about the same, but each for different reasons!
