    Hi Carol. My husband loves the actual sailing part of cruises. Can you tell me about what time we start sail from each port? (Koper, Zadar, Dubrovnik, Kotor, Corfu, Olympia, Santori). From watching other videos it looks like sometimes all the sailing occurs over night which means we would miss the sailing portion.

    Sorry for all the negative comments below. This was very helpful and informative. The narration was really the key, not so much the photos. There are plenty of people who post home movies of their Viking cruises who don't provide any background on what they're showing or discuss the options. As a 3-time Viking cruiser, I found this very useful. Thank you for putting it together.

    My wife and I have enjoyed Viking cruises to Iceland, Scotland, Norway and the river ship on the Danube. We are booked on the Viking Polaris from Toronto to NYC this coming August. Covid shots have been required on all of these trips, but October 1, 2023 will no longer be required by Viking. We had invited a couple to go with us; however they had not had Covid 19 shots and had to cancel. We have booked excursions that are not included [$1000 extra] and also the Submarine [$1000 extra] and I think this will be our trip of a lifetime. Our concern now is all of the wildfires in Canada are continuing to burn out of control. On board the Viking there are many things we enjoy, especially the live music of Violin and Cello, Guitar and piano and vocalists.! The lectures are also excellent, and the Explorers area. Food and crew are always outstanding.en We are also booked for Viking Saturn Athens to Spain over this Christmas with our Son and his Wife.

    How come no meals are included on the first two full days and last two full days? The Reims excursion is nine hours, not even a snack is provided!

    • @caloldblue
      @caloldblue 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The short answer is: you are not yet or are no longer connected to a ship on those cases. Until you board and only up until you offboard does Viking have restaurant facilities not committed to other passengers. While I agree it would be more convenient to have all meals arranged (and I believe some lines do that), for me, if I'm in a city with no ship to return to for meals, I'd prefer to scout out my own meals. It comes down to a matter of personal taste and corporate model... Viking leans more to an la carte model, as do I. (No, I don't work for Viking, I am not now nor ever have been in the cruise industry, and I haven't (yet) taken a cruise... but I AM researching).

  • @bizzbuilder

    We took the Viking cruise. The ship was crap. The smallest rooms I ever saw in my life and way too expensive. The dinners were horrible. The only thing that was any good was breakfast and lunch.

    • @susansherrell6604
      @susansherrell6604 ปีที่แล้ว

      We have taken several Viking cruises and are so loyal to Viking that it’s the only brand we will take. We have done several Viking river cruises and a 28 day Viking river cruise/tour through China. I have never had a bad meal on Viking, nor a bad room. We are 100% sold on the Viking experience.

      We have done 3 Viking Cruises and all three have been superb. Stateroom with balcony, lovely breakfast luncheon, and dinner selections. Bavarian night was amazing including a tour of the kitchen/ galley.. Most impressive was the staff, friendly, engaging, and more like friends than attendants. And only 190 passengers and no kids!
