Are tips included in the price or additional?

Check the Lufthansa website. I think the weight limit is more like 17/18 pounds (you may have to do a conversion if they have it in kg.). The times we have been on Lufthansa they checked our carry on for size and weight at least twice while walking down to board the plane. They don't fool around.

Thank you.

Hello---we used Viking Custom Air with a deviation to arrive in Athens a couple of days prior to embarkation. Does anyone know if there is an email address specifically for Viking Air we could use in the event any problems arise with our actual flights? I emailed tellus@vikingcruises.com a few minutes ago to see if they can provide this information. Thanks.

Greek Odyssey embarking Athen 11-26-22, disembarking Athens 12-6-22

I just received a response giving me exactly the information I requested. My email request was sent at 11:30am Eastern time. Response received at 3:00pm Eastern time. Impressive.

I've just received the PDF of all the excursions from Viking. Much faster response than I expected.

Hello--I emailed tellus@vikingcruises.com and received the below response. Is up to 5 days typical? Thanks. While we are in receipt of your reach out and will connect you with the appropriate team, please note it may take up to 5 business days for a response due to a high volume of emails. We appreciate your patience. Warm regards, Viking Social I Viking I (t) 877.668.4546 I viking.com

Perfect. Thanks.

Hello----does anyone know if it's possible to obtain a list of all offered excursions on a specific cruise via email? Thanks very much.

Thank you Sleep7.

I'm wondering what happens if you are boarding in Athens and don't have your test result (required by Greece) due to malfunctioning/lost phone or tablet or lab error in reporting to you on time. Does anyone know if Viking will test prior to boarding and still let you on the ship? Thanks.

Received from Regent via email: Dear Luxury Traveler, I write to you today to share an important update regarding our pre-cruise COVID-19 testing policy. Beginning on August 1, 2022, we will no longer require our guests to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test result prior to embarkation, subject to local regulations. There are a small number of cruises — including certain voyages that begin in Canada, Greece and the United States — where guests may still be required to produce evidence of a negative COVID-19 test result within a specified timeframe upon embarkation. These requirements will be highlighted for the guests on those voyages at least 30 days prior to sailing. As always, your health and well-being, as well as that of our crew and the communities we visit remains at the forefront of providing you with an unrivaled experience. This important change to our pre-cruise COVID-19 testing policy is in line with the broader global travel industry as we all continue to adapt and return to a sense of normalcy. If you would like more information about this or any of our other health and safety policies, please visit our SailSAFE™ Health and Safety Program resource page. We look forward to welcoming you aboard.

Thanks to Sleep7 and cruiseinchrissy for the replies. Just went to MVY and there it is. Our cruise from Athens isn't until late November so who knows what the policy will be by that time.

Looks like a great trip. Confused about your needing a covid test at the pier in Athens. I've searched everywhere and can't find any notification of this on any official Greek governmental websites that are in English. If anyone point me to one I would be appreciative. Obviously your photos document you needing to have it done. Thanks.

We're booked on an Athens to Athens cruise. All ports except 1 (Ephesus) are in Greece. I've always been told by others who have been there on a cruise, a Viking rep and another cruise line's rep that a visa for Turkey while on a cruise is only required if you are embarking or disembarking in Turkey or doing a land pre or post cruise extension in Turkey. None of those apply to us. We will be in Greek ports before and after the stop at Ephesus. US State Department travel info for Turkey states visa not required for one day in port while on a cruise. I'm going to check Turkey's official governmental sites later. Does anyone have recent direct experience with this situation? Thanks.

What is the earliest you can disembark? We're looking at flights back to the US and are wondering what is the earliest flight we should book. Thanks.

Hello---we took advantage of a promotion which includes $500 shipboard credit as well as the Silver Spirits beverage package and booked a 10 day Athens to Athens cruise in November. We are also doing the 2 day pre cruise extension. We wanted a Penthouse Junior Suite (PJS 3) and will be in cabin 6023 which is across from the elevators. Will this be terribly noisy? There were only 3 available cabins in that category and they were all close to the elevators. Any replies will be appreciated.
