Viking toiletries 2016

[Cyber Kat]

I'm glad that worked out well for you! When we were on our Viking river cruise last November we had L'Occitane and in January, on Viking Star, the Freyja. They're both nice toiletries but I actually prefer the Freyja because it's more delicately scented. And I think I was getting a little bored of lemon verbena...:p

 

I really liked the light Freyja scent! I lemon verbena is not a favorite, though the products were nice. They have a lavender I might try sometime.

Seems Viking and L'Occitane still have some tie up as Viking sent out this invitation today

 

L’OCCITANE and Viking Cruises invite you to enjoy an exclusive evening in store with 15% off all purchases, a luxury hand and arm massage, personal skincare and fragrance consultations, complimentary drinks and a luxury goody bag worth £47!

We just returned on Tuesday from our Heart of Germany Christmas Market cruise on the Viking Tor. I was so looking forward to the L'Occitane products we've had on the last two cruises. My sister and I were so disappointed in the new Freyja products. The smell was overwhelming and unpleasant to both of us. I can't find any info on the brand so it must be a private label for Viking. Saves $$$ I guess.

Cruise was great otherwise.

We also just returned on the 16th and really like the Freyja line of products. Unlike the L'Occitane products that are too heavily scented, IMHO, we find the lighter Freyja scents more appealing. I guess you can't please everyone - every time.

I love L'Occitane products and was looking forward to using them. Viking now uses Freya, a private brand labeled for Viking cruises. Bath gel and soap were okay. Shampoo and conditioner made my hair feel like straw.

Just returned from cruising with Viking who are still using the Freyja products. Whilst the soap and body wash were ok I found the shampoo and conditioner to be if an inferior quality. On previous cruises i have had Molton Brown products which I prefer.

Does anyone know if Freyja bath products on Viking are hypoallergenic? I have super sensitive skin and should bring my own if they aren't.

The bottle doesn’t say hypoallergenic but maybe you can tell from the ingredient list. Sorry I don’t have any shampoo left but here are pictures of the body wash:

I’d just bring my own to be on the safe side.

I asked for and got samples to try. I posted on their website that I have allergies with a lot of skin products. I had no reaction to the Freyja - they were fine.

The fact that is has perfume (parfum) in it means it is likely not hypo-allergenic.

Thank you so much for trying to help. I don't recognize many of the ingredients.

I have Viking checking into it. I think it would say hypoallergenic if it was. Thank

you for your time.

A related question (sort of)... do they provide bar soap or just the body wash?

Bar soap is provided. If you need extra just ask your cabin attendant.

Thank you all. I decided to play it safe.

Thank you for posting the shampoo ingredients.  As the shampoo has sulfates in it, I will bring my own - as sulfates strip color from color treated hair.
