We were supposed to..but, the weather did not allow it. By the time we got to Pulpit Rock, the fog was all the way down. We could hardly see any of it.

What currency?? Euros?
And what about money for using the bathrooms in the towns? I know on the river cruises, we needed a euro in order to use bathrooms...women only. YIKES.

Yes....thank you so much. We were on the grand European river cruise the first week of October. It was gray and cool the whole time. I think we saw the sun for a while on 2 different days. I was so happy to have brought a lightweight down jacket!!

I enjoyed all of the excursions I went on in May. I was prepared for some that weren't so good, but I can't complain about anything. Here's what I did through Viking:
Helsinki-included tour. The guide was knowledgeable and we saw the highlights. After the tour, I went in the Uspenski Cathedral and the Helsinki Cathedral on my own as well as taking the ferry to Soumenlinna.
Tallinn-Optional Tour with Chocolate Factory. This was a last minute substitution due to our original tour being cancelled. I got the lay of the land making it easier to return in the afternoon. Had fun meeting others and making chocolate.
Gdansk-Optional Stutthof Camp tour-recommend, just know you won't see any of the city as the tour takes the whole port time (at least in the Stockholm-Bergen direction).
Germany-Optional to Lubeck and Wismar-recommend if you have been to Berlin and want to see another part of Germany.
Copenhagen-Optional Charming Coastal Copenhagen-loved this excursion. See thatched roof homes and live outside the city. Came back and took a cab to Tivoli. Took the evening jazz cruise as well. It was such a gorgeous day when we were there--everyone was outside along the canals eating and just enjoying the day.
Aalborg-Included tour. Informative guide but cold, rainy and windy weather.
Did a private tour with Insider Tours in St. Petersburg and walked around on our own in Stavanger and Bergen. I did purchase cruise tickets to Pulpit Rock ahead of time (Stavanger).
I hope you have a great trip!
JerseyGirl...you went in May? Can I ask how the weather was? We are leaving on 5/28 and from what I have seen so far, we can expect temps in the 50-60's? I was hoping for warmer, but, I guess not.

Viking Homelands 2022 Season
in Viking Ocean

We used TJ Tours in 2017 in St Petersburg for 2 days. It was well worth it. Small group of approximately 12, lovely bus, and a great tour guide that was very knowledgeable. We did NOT have to put a deposit down, but, paid in full the 2nd day. They took care of getting all visa's.
