gailellen12 Posted January 12 #1 Share Posted January 12 I have cruised solo before on Holland America but this Feb will be my first experience with Viking. If you have sailed solo with them I would be interested in your impressions. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottomfeeder Posted January 12 #2 Share Posted January 12 I've cruised solo twice on Viking Ocean and it is currently my favorite line, though I have to watch for sales like a hawk and jump on good ones right away because they usually don't give much of a break on the solo supplement. Not sure what type of info you are looking for, but happy to answer any questions you have if I can. (I am about to leave for my 2nd Viking River cruise, by the way. My first one was in late October and I had no plans to cruise again so soon, but there was such a good sale on this one I couldn't resist! I'd prefer to do Viking Ocean but haven't seen such deals there lately.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakridger Posted January 13 #3 Share Posted January 13 (edited) I looked at booking a Viking Ocean cruise that friends are sailing on in May, and they are charging the full 100% solo supplement which made a DV cabin about $1000 per day for only me. And they aren't all inclusive. I'm also not happy with the Viking policy of payment in full a year (or more) out from the sailing date! Nope. I would love to go on a Viking Ocean cruise but will also need to see a lower per diem rate. I'll keep looking and watching! ~Nancy Edited January 13 by oakridger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinyrn Posted January 15 #4 Share Posted January 15 I am cruising on the Viking Orion in May solo. How do they handle dining solo? Will I always have to eat by myself, or will I be able to share a table with others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my Viking Ocean cruise this past summer, they had a singles get together, announced in the daily program, in a lounge the first night of the cruise. I was able to meet some very nice solos and we arranged to have dinner together for most of the 14 days of the cruise. However, this was the only singles get together for the entire cruise, so if you want to meet other solos, make sure you attend this get together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trbd4739 Posted January 15 #6 Share Posted January 15 For dining solo on Viking, there are shared tables at The Restaurant. You tell the hostess you would like to be seated with other people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
