We booked the Mediterranean Odessy, April 13th. How did you enjoy it, Dauntless? This will be our first cruise with Viking. Exciting!

I hope you had a chance to look at the way we did the trip and I'm sure you will enjoy yours well.  I was on Youtube last night and noticed on Popular Cruising there is a video for the Viking Orion.  It was the last ship out and you can see some of the upgrades on this version that I have not seen elsewhere but read about on CC.  you might want to take a look.

Cruising on Viking Jupiter Athens to Venice, April 6, 2019

Tampatramp, we are on the Star leaving Athens one day before you (boarding April 4th).  I have found that the Star and the Juniper will be in 4 ports on the same day-Katakolon, Corfu, Kotor and Dubrovnik.  I'm wondering if our port times are the same also.  Our schedule is:

Katakolon 8-4

Corfu 8-5

Kotor 8-11

Dubrovnik 8-4 ( there is another ship, Costa Victoria, also on same day)

Do these times coincide with yours, or different?  I know Dubrovnik is implementing new rules this year only allowing certain # of ships and/or passengers on any given day.  I did read that they also want to stagger times in port for more than one ship.  We chose April hoping that we would have less crowds to content with than in the later months but having 3 ships in Dubrovnik in one day isn't too encouraging, even with a total of about 4K passengers between the 3 ships.

Ready to Sail: we too choose spring to travel and avoid summer crowds, but we will just have to deal with 3 ships in Dubrovnik. Our ships do overlap:

Katakolon 12noon-7pm - you get an extra hour in this port

Corfu 8-5 same time

Kotor 8am-10pm - we leave an hour before you.

Dubrovnik 7am-6pm  ships are staggered

all subject to change. we enjoy Viking and will have a great time regardless of the number of passengers or ships in port (as long as all those other passengers get on their own ship and our ships don't collide)

Steven, You do get 3 more hours in Dubrovnik which is significant.  I would have chosen longer time in Dubrovnik and less ships but, guess that's the way it is. Will be a total of about 4K passengers which isn't too bad.  looks like  we will be caravaning into Kotor.  It is suppose to be a beautiful sail in, a mini fjord! 

I was born in San Francisco (many, many years ago) and lived much of my life in the east bay.  We have been in Redding almost 20 years now.  I did find your roll call but saw there was only you and one other post. I was going to ask about the port times on there but didn't see any recent activity, then I saw this thread and your post.   

Let's hope for pleasant weather in early April, and happy sailing.

Just tried to register for the Meet and Mingle for the March 2 cruise.  That date is not listed in the drop down for cruise date.  It appears that the cruise is too close for us to register.

That is probably right.  Go to guest relations (located at a single desk near the Explorer's Desk on deck one)when you board and ask about it and then explain your situation.  They will probably give you information and tell you to drop by.  Though it is by invitation, they are not checked when you enter.  Remember, that's probably.
