Desert Gal amongst the lurkers! Viking Star, Baltic cruising friends Dave and Sandra, from Columbus, OH., amongst you on the WC. This morning's email comment... "this trip is like no other" Smooth sailing to y'all!

Bill's Bride. Will anxiously await your Venice hotel name. The Venice hotel search has been a challenge. On a brighter side have found several Barcelona Hotels,,and will likely book after the start of the New Year. We did take one action..made flight reservations on United! So know we will arrive...where we stay, pre and post is a bit of a question! Viking makes using their extensions wonderfully easy. Would take Viking's Venice post extension, but was concerned about the location of the Hilton Hotel they have been using.

We are booked on Med Odyssey 10/7 of next year and I think I'm going to add the Barcelona pre-cruise. Has anyone done a Barcelona stay through Viking and if so what hotel did they use? We have booked the post cruise in Venice and did the hotel upgrade since I read the standard hotel ( Hilton Molino Stucky) was nice but took a lot of your time getting to and from it. Thanks for your help!

Hello to Bill's Bride. Will u share the name of the upgraded hotel you selected for ur Venice extension? Did u arrange that thru Viking? If so is it part of your extension package? Just did the math...ther are 316 days until we all board the Star!!

Bill's Bride. Will be on board The Star, 10/7/17 Barcelona to Venice. Have not been actively searching for pre or post hotels. You are spurring me on!! Have heard nothing positive about the Venice Hilton. Know one of the Stars early cruises departed from a different port approx an hour away from the Barcelona Renaissance . There are 8 in our group. This will be our second Oceans Trip, after two Viking River trips. My search hotels begins today. Please keep us posted with your plans. We are planning to fly into Lisnon several days prior to arriving in Barcelona.

Celtic mutt. 8 of us on who will be on your itinerary in Oct'17, have been stalking you! Great info.. We are taking notes. Our cruise group includes four couples from MD, PA, and two from AZ. Several of us on Vikings last year's Baltic Trip. If this cruise lives up to The Baltic Cruise we will be two for two on Oceans! Interested in comments re: the Silver Pkg. always buy ion Viking Rivers, but did not on Oceans. Numerous comments from Oceans folks who did buy, not pleased with exclusions.
