We don’t leave on our Panama Canal cruise until January. Hope you enjoy your cruises!

TOTALLY agree! We were on this cruise to French Polynesia in January of 22. No Mexico or Hawaii, it was 33 marvelous days with incredible excursions and lectures! Our favorites excursions were the Waverunner trip around Moorea and a 4x4 trip to see beautiful waterfalls in the mountains of Tahiti! We plan on doing this again in the future.

I figured that would be for Viking River cruises… We are interested in one of their Ocean cruises. I did try to do a search and check the roll calls before posting this request for information, because I didn’t get the results that I was looking for.

May I ask what month you went with Viking?

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has done the Amazon River cruise with Viking. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. We haven’t booked it yet. Thanks

We just got back from Barcelona. We used Viator for a 4 hour Skip the Line tour of Park Güell and La Sagrada Familia. We took a cab for $15 from our hotel to the meeting spot. It was an excellent tour! We had about 12 people in our group. I would definitely use them again! However, I booked a 48 hour hop on hop off bus with them and when we didn’t use it on the first day it was listed as completed when we went to use it the next day. Also, next time we will just wait and see which bus has a stop closest to our location when we arrive at our location.

Exactly how we interpreted it, too. We have also stopped packing blue jeans.

Steak and eggs at the restaurant, but usually black coffee at the World Cafe. I don’t usually have breakfast at home until 10:30/11:00, so I am happier just skipping breakfast and doing an early lunch.

I totally agree with you on jeans. Some outfits with jeans look classier than some dresses I have seen, but I try to respect what Viking states as their dress code.

So I would think in the Explorer’s Lounge jeans might be OK, but the Star Theater probably no jeans. Hope this helps.

As per Viking: What is the dress code? During the day, dress is casual including shorts (if the season is warm), slacks or jeans and comfortable shoes for walking tours. Swimsuits, brief shorts, cover-ups and exercise attire should be reserved for the Fitness Center, pool areas and Sports Deck. There are no “formal nights” in the evening; evening dress is “elegant casual” for all dining venues, performances and special events. On these occasions, required attire for ladies includes a dress, skirt or slacks with a sweater or blouse; for gentlemen, trousers and a collared shirt. A tie and jacket are optional; jeans are not permitted. The evening dress excludes World Café where the dress remains casual after 6:00 PM. Some shore excursions visit religious sites that require modesty of dress. To avoid being denied entry, we recommend men wear long pants and refrain from sleeveless shirts; and for women, clothing that covers the knees and tops that are not sleeveless or too revealing.

Hopefully you can get the 2 in each restaurant that is part of the perks with paying more for the PV. It is a considerable amount more that you pay. Please update this is you do. Good luck!

We are hoping to book that immediately after the South America and Chilean Fiords cruise.

We are trying Viator for the first time in Barcelona on the 14th of November, because of not being able to get the excursions we wanted with Viking. What was your bad experience? We searched multiple Viking sites and Viator was one of the recommended tour companies.

We ran into this on the Orion in January. It seemed like some of the people in the suites on that level treated the upper level of the Explorers Lounge as their own special area… They were so loud that you could hear them on the lower level…

We are on the cruise just before you. We booked PV, not because of the cabin, but to have a better chance at getting the excursions we wanted. Fingers crossed that she gets what she wants.

General information on the ocean ships from Viking.

I think the rules have more to do with what countries the cruise stops in and even the order of the ports, than the cruise-line. For example if you go to Panama before Honduras you need a yellow fever vaccination to get off the ship there, but not if you go first to Honduras, then Panama.

I checked and it looks like it is mainly in the Southern Hemisphere.

This may have been intentional to try and have different levels of crispness.

WOW! Incredible!
