I norm have to travel solo lat time I was near Europe was 2015 when I was on pilgrimage went from france over the pyerness and walked 500 miles across spain on the way of saint james. I most likely will book the extend ,

You definitely want to go to Prague! It's a gorgeous city and you're so close. If you have the time, go for it!

It stinks you have to pay so much extra, but if you're not used to traveling solo around Europe having the extra support is comforting. Plus you will get to know your fellow cruisers on the ship and have new found acquaintances to tour with in Prague. Since it will be New Years the Viking rep will be there to offer you suggestions of what to do. The extension also includes the transfer from Nuremberg which is one less thing to worry about.

my airfare is booked through Viking being its cheaper since I got it on a 295 dollar promotion, I can pay 50 dollars to change my booking, but being its a different return from when the cruise is over ect.. would be a diffrance in price I would have to pay ect.. id just keep it simple and if I was to do the extend, id use them

its a extra 699, but since im going solo I have to pay the single supplement so its around 1230 :•3 nights in Prague: Hilton Prague Hotel (or similar)

•3 breakfasts

•Guided City Tour

•Services of a Viking host

•Hotel & ship transfers

my river cruise is 22-29th if I extended I would be there for new years eve

While most close on Christmas Eve, some do stay open. And decorations and festivities will still be happening. We have gone to this area between Christmas and New Years several times. If you can arrange to be in Prague for NYE, I suspect it would be quite memorable!

thank you, and thank you for the reply for the reply, looking forward to the cruise, decided to take this one being it was Christmas. only things that bothers me is the Christmas markets, since I am sail dec 22, I most likely will only see the one in Cologne and will miss the one in Nuremberg. after more detailed research they close by the 23rd and Christmas eve. I am a history nerd so I will enjoy it either way.

debating if I want to do a post and extend 3 NIGHTS IN PRAGUE,

Greetings I am james a 37 year old army veteran from Florida and this will be my first river cruise, This month I booked Christmas in Germany December 22-29 , Cologne to Nuremberg on the Viking Longship Tor. I have a few questions but first I would like to say, I have read the reviews positive and negative an yes I have really read the negative postings of people saying beware. Things can go wrong on any vacation either by act of god, or issues that are the cruise line fault I beat to the tune of my own drum so to make judgment of Viking based off of just reviews without experiencing them first is not how I roll. I have had people say one cruise line is awful, such and such is the best I traveled with these lines and made up my own mind so lets not turn this thread into How I am making a mistake ect and no I am not a rep for Viking or know anyone from Viking ... with all that being said off to my questions.

Itinerary

Day 1 Cologne, Germany

Day 2 Cologne, Germany

Day 3 Koblenz, Germany

Day 4 Miltenberg, Germany

Day 5 Würzburg, Germany

1. has anyone traveled on the Viking Tor?

2. has anyone traveled Cologne to Nuremberg? 2A. what month? 2B. if in the months of December, how was the experience

3. are there any hidden fee's, I am not talking about tips or the extra Excursions, I have one included in each port so I wont be buying any extra so I can explore on my own unless I see something that really catches my eye. I am a real history nerd and love culture.

4. Can someone tell me about the meals? I hear its like a buffet style

5. my Itinerary does not show times so about what time of the evening does the ship set out to the next stop?

6.. is there any other Info you think I should know?

Thank you
