Here’s a menu.

I saw on another website that someone said no petting on the included excursion.

Vasa museum Stockholm, we also liked the paid Berlin tour.

For motion sickness, talk to your doctor. What works for me (patch) might not be best for you. Evening dress is smart casual for all venues except World Cafe. This thread will help. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2921194-typical-dress-code/

I’ve done this but I’ve used two laptops at the same time. By the time you log in and out of one account and then go to the other, some prized excursions might be gone. This is particularly true if you’re DV or V.

Unfortunately, no, the CC you entered for onboard expenses cannot be automatically used when purchasing excursions. You have to enter the CC details as you pay for your cart.

Cancelling an excursion and rebooking is easy on MVJ. Simply click on the reservation you want to cancel, (either from the calendar page or excursions page,) and click Cancel reservation. Then immediately book the one you want by putting it in your cart and paying just as you originally did. I’ve also done this over the phone, but most recently, the phone agent directed me to DIY. Constantly check for availability of your preferred excursion. You can sometimes find an opening onboard with guest services. Don’t give up!

“Three, we both logged in on 2 computers - you log into the same, one MVJ account and you can both book at the same time.” Interesting, as I tried this in the past and couldn’t log in to the same account on two devices. Will try this next week, thanks.

I’m following this thread as we have BIE in May. I clicked the underlined links abore and found the tour operators. Invergordon was with Avril’s Travels. Thanks to those sharing information!

And….. sometimes the MVJ published times or ticket times are changed slightly. Detailed meeting place and times are in the Viking Daily which you get after dinner. Ask at the guest services desk if you have a tight time between excursions. I missed a second tour due to traffic and a slow bus, Viking refunded the fee. Tours can also be cancelled by you 48 hours prior to start time.

If you end in Bergen, the starboard side is closer to land most of the time, but it does vary. Look at the map of your cruise, and decide for yourself which side you’d prefer. We always went up to Explorers's Lounge for views while sailing. Good views are also from the terrace on deck 7, aft.

The scheduled arrival and departure times are on your invoice, a few pages in. If you don’t have the invoice you can request another via MVJ. Click the 3 bars on top left, scroll down to Account and select request invoice. ( I’ve heard this might not work if you use a TA. In that case, have them request the invoice.)

Thanks Caroline, your details will help others decide if these excursions work for them. Even though we have no mobility issues, I did find the toilets “challenging” all over Greece! And in some places, we paid for the WC adventure!

Unfortunately, these glitches are why those of use that reserve later find no availability. I’ve only been able to get reservations onboard, and it takes a bit of effort to get the times I want.

That was the time for me in November, but I’d certainly check before just in case! It opened about 3 hours early for me last July.

Redtravel, I’ve always been able to book a future cruise (with another cruise on the books) by calling my preferred Viking agent. Good luck booking your 2025 cruise.

I only book independent tours that give refunds for missing the port. I’ve never had a problem with them, but it takes a lot of searching when booking. I use Viator to get an idea of what’s available, then I go to the actual tour provider website for details. I like 24 hour cancellations too. Good luck!

Call or chat with Viking and request the excursion pdf. It should be in the updated invoice email as mentioned above in post #10. They can send a pdf of an earlier cruise if yours isn’t available yet.

We had highs in the low 50F-60F most days, it was colder up north, so probably 45F in Isafjurder. We were in Iceland 13 days including the cruise and had only 3 rainy days, the rest were sunny which is unusual. Layers and gloves and beanies kept us comfortable….And I’m a Florida girl!

Yes, we docked easily in July. Cold, windy but no storms that day.

Fairly nice….but no framing here! 😜.

On our trip last summer, the certificates were in our room with the Viking Daily.

I have always received an excursion PDF from a prior cruise. I ask via the Chat in MVJ. The times and prices will be similar to your cruise. We’re 114 days from our cruise, and I got a PDF of a current sailing yesterday; the agent said my excursions were loading “soon.”

Agree, as long as the Viking host knows where you are, you can leave the group and make your way to the ship independently. The host may have a suggestion for transportation to the port. By the way, Harpa is a fairly short walk to the whale watching boats!
