Overview
With design and onboard features that are truly other-worldly, Viking Mars captures the essence of luxurious discovery in an intimate ship.
Starting on the rivers of Europe, Viking has captured the cruising world with their impressive ocean ships, and Viking Mars is more of the same like her sister ships.
From a Veranda stateroom, all the way up to the eloquent Explorer suite, each guest is treated to an experience like none other on the seven seas.
Much of Viking Mars is designed with the seasoned traveler in mind, like The Living Room, a laid back lounge where you can swap stories of years of adventure.
The onboard experience gets better from here – with 4 dining options, each spanning the globe in flavors and spice and a couple more lounges, you’ll start telling your friends your favorite place to vacation is on Mars.

It was a great trip even though we were not able to embark to our excursion to Dublin due to weather. We understood that safety was the primary concern. It was great to be able to do laundry while on the trip,. We enjoyed meeting our fellow passengers, most who had been on other Viking cruises as well. We also enjoyed having the opportunity to eat at Manfredi's and the Chef's Table as alternatives to the regular dining room. The staff was by far the best part of the cruise, they knew our names after the first day and were always cheerful and helpful. I have not hesitated to recommend Viking to my friends.
Pros: Amazing staff, ship was very clean and elegant, tour guides were very knowlegeable
Cons: none

It is a cruise line for matured adults who are looking to explore and enrich their knowledge about the world . The talks presented are very relevant to the ports being visited .
Pros: Ship is kept sparkling clean .i see them constantly cleaning , especially high touch areas. All staffs are pleasant andhelpful, we were treated like royalty. .
Cons: A variety of entertainment besides just music would be better . However the cast are really great .The cruise director Aaron is very talented . He has a great voice . He sings beautifully. He is also very entertain.

THE ONLY NEGATIVES WERE THE FACT THAT BREAKFASTS WERE GEARED TOWARD EARLY MORNINGS. IF WE WISHED TO SLEEP IN, WE HAD TO RUSH TO THE DINING ROOMS BEFORE THEY STOPPED SERVING BREAKFAST. ADDITIONAL DIRECTIONS TO PLACES ON EACH DECK WOULD HAVE BEEN APPRECIATED BEYOND THE LISTINGS AT THE ELEVATORS (FORWARD OR AFT, PORT OR STARBOARD).
Pros: FOOD, SERVICE, PORT VISITS, & CREW WERE ALL EXCELLENT.
Cons: BREAKFASTS WERE GEARED TOWARD MORNING.

This is our 3rd Viking cruise and we continue to Be cheerleaders for this fantastic cruise line! The staff, the food, the personalized care, the entertainment- outstanding! The only thing that disappointed us were guides on two of the excursions. Did not appear to be prepared and were very difficult to understand.
Pros: All positive- Viking takes care of everything and everyone.
Cons: Some guides on Biking excursions

We were spoiled the entire cruise. Every need was met and there were so many additional touches that made the trip so wonderful. The small things like offering a slushy by the pool or meeting us after a shore excursion with a cool, damp cloth were such a pleasant surprise. I could go on and on but people just have to take a cruise on Viking to find out for themselves.
Pros: Friendly staff, well organized events, top notch food
Cons:
