Do you know what the turnaround time is to receive your laundered clothing?  l

Thank you to all for your advice!  I guess we really will "have to see" as we get closer to September 2022.  I have reached out to several independent tour/excursion operators with no response.  Because our booking date for Regent excursions is later this week, I plan to make my selections with Regent for right now.  Just hoping the world changes for the better by next year! 

We are booked on our first Regent cruise September 2022.  (We have previously sailed with Viking - both river and ocean.)  We usually do a few of the included excursions, but more often than not, we like to explore and make our own plans in port.  On a typical day, we would catch the Viking shuttle just in front of the ship, get dropped off at a major landmark, and make a return shuttle trip back to the ship in the evening before setting sail for the next port.  Does Regent offer a shuttle service like this from the pier to city center?  (When I inquired and spoke to a Regent representative, he just kept telling me about the private car option with guide included, which I am not interested in.)                 

Philw1776 - Thank you for sharing.  My husband and I usually travel independently (skip the group walks, bus tours), but I thought some of the excursions might be worth doing with Viking.  I have already made a plan for most of the ports and wanted to add on with some of the more interesting Viking excursions.  I appreciate your input!    

We are booked for the Viking Homelands cruise (Stockholm to Bergen) this summer.  The list of excursions just became available.  As I am now compiling our 'Wish List' before actually being able to book, I was wondering if any previous Viking Homelands travelers have recommendations for favorite added excursions (or if there any we should avoid)?  I thought the following looked interesting:  

Helsinki - Reideer feeding

Tallinn - Chocolate workshop

Gdansk - Culinary and precious treasures

Alborg - Day in the life of a Viking

Stavanger - Traditional fishing trip

Any thoughts?  Your advice and experience would be most appreciated!  Thank you!

Does anyone have a recent copy of this tour's Viking Daily pages? I am in the early planning stage for summer 2019 and would find it very helpful to plan our days. I did see an earlier copy for travel in the opposite direction. Thanks so much!
