While in Israel we visited Jerusalem and Bethlehem, then Nazareth and the Sea of Galilee, then Caesarea.

Almost all of our excursions were the additional fee Viking sponsored tours but we saw many folks using private tours. We really wanted to see and do as much as possible while on this trip so we invested more than the included tours unless it allowed us to explore on our own such as in Rhodes, Mykonos and in Athens. We absolutely loved LivTours while in Italy and highly recommend them. Wishing you all the best experiences!

I absolutely loved this cruise, we sailed in November-December 2023 and experienced beautiful weather. The pace was wonderful since we had two sea days and a mix of shorter and longer stops. We stayed in Rome before embarking which I highly recommend, allowing margin pre-cruise so there is time for delays and for a stress free start to your journey.
