  1. Did the furniture get replaced? I too would have been disappointed in non Freya products! Why do people need a cap inside?
  2. It was a Viking excursion. I will look and see if I can find the name of it. We were on cruise from Bergen to Amsterdam " Viking Shores and Fjords . Meals on excursions are usually a waste of time IMO BUT this was a fantastic meal... great fish in a lovely hotel venue on the water! Full-Day Railway Journey to Voss Duration: 7 hours The Quintessential Norway Experience Marvel at Norway’s stunning beauty during a breathtaking full-day “Norway in a Nutshell” experience. You will board the world-famous Flåm Railway at the cruise pier and climb nearly 3,000 feet through 20 tunnels and over numerous bridges. Stop at Kjosfossen waterfall for photos of this pristine natural wonder. You will change trains and continue to Voss, where a motor coach takes you to the Molstertunet open air museum. Here, you will gain rich insight into 18th-century life in these high mountain valleys. Continue to Tvinde waterfall for a photo stop. Enjoy lunch at the famous Stalheim Hotel, with magnificent views of the Naerøyfjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, from the veranda. Return to your ship via the mountain descent known as the Stalheimskleiva. With its steep grade and 13 hairpin turns, this is not a trip for those who fear heights.
  3. thinking about Slovenia-Croatia cruise...what cruise line did you use?
  4. on the excursion we took the train one way and bus the other and had a great lunch!!! The train was late getting back ( another train on the track had a problem). The ship waited for us...if you were on another train and independent the ship would not wait. Chances are you will get on the excursion sometimes if there is a lengthy wait list Viking will add another bus or train car.
  5. We really enjoyed this cruise..if you can combine it with the TA even better... we did 4 cruises in a row and had splendid time...it will be even better without ALL the hassle of COVID!!!
  6. I was suggesting that if Mcobean were going BACK to Viet Nam they should considera RIVER Cruise. The Mekong River Cruise was outstanding a separate cruise. sorry for the confusion
  7. You should definitely do the Mekong River cruise!
  8. this is great information we are going in September greysandy with whom is your Cologne - Brauhaus tour (Kolsh beer) with small company? My husband would enjoy this! Please post after your cruise with any great information/suggestions from your June trip.
  9. In Michigan I pay $50/month one line!
  10. spoke with Viking...these are the included cruises that will include SSP Thank you for being loyal members of our Viking Explorer Society. It does look like the SMG23 promotion will only be applicable to select July through November 2023 itineraries. These itineraries will be the Danube Waltz, Grand European Tour, Lyon & Provence, Paris to the Swiss Alps, Rhine Getaway, & Romantic Danube.
  11. Does anyone see a FREE Silver Spirit Package for a river cruise other than the Grand European? Specifically looking for one for European Sojourn? thanks
  12. These photos make me want to take another WC!
  13. I think it is VERY important to buy your trip insurance within the time frame so "pre-existing" conditions are covered. If you plan to buy insurance WHY would you NOT do this? If we have canceled a trip we have been able to move the insurance to another trip but I am not sure that is always possible. We also have insured just the deposit and then increase coverage when paid in full BUT that gives us "pre-existing condition" coverage. It also covers the "pre-existing" conditions of family members whose health may cause us to cancel a trip.
  14. no....long viking trips preceding detox!
  15. YOU will love it!!! Longer journeys really let you settle into life on board. IMO there is nothing better!
  16. thanks, for the honest replies. so disappointing, we too have had 3 outstanding cruises with Vantage prior to covid!
  17. Does anyone find an Expediation Antarctic promo for 2024? all I find is for 2023. Thank you
  18. Just received another email about the cruise along the Adriatic Coast...I really want to do this cruise but am so skeptical of Vantage's recent customer service. Please re-assure me that all is well at the corporate level and the ship is great!
  19. not sure that is much of a great savings....free upgrade from DV to penthouse would be a good deal...I think business air has always been a perk
  20. how do prices compare when you add in Viking's gratuities and Silver Spirit's package?
  21. Jim, do you find "last minute" special pricing somewhere for booking within 30 days...we would love to try and take advantage of that! thanks
  22. I can't comment on present promotions because our trip was in 2017/2018 BUT there were a number of singles on that cruise and those that I spoke with were having a great time!
  23. We have stayed on Deck 3 again foreward and aft of the 3055/3057 and we enjoyed those rooms, great location. We have been on decks 4 and 5 too but 3 is so convenient! That onboard consultant needs to go to that cabin 3055/57 when the band is playing in Torshavn. We were in 3055 for almost a month on our WC...eventually we were moved and those in 3057 as well.
