sitraveler Posted June 2, 2015 #2 Share Posted June 2, 2015 They were scheduled to be announced this month, but with the new-build delays, Viking said not to end of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Azulann Posted June 9, 2015 #3 Share Posted June 9, 2015 They were scheduled to be announced this month, but with the new-build delays, Viking said not to end of year. Thanks for the information about the 2017 schedule. In the cold, cold month of January here in my neighborhood, I will be pouring over the Viking schedule and the seed catalogs ,planning a cruise and garden while the North winds blow.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Hope Posted June 16, 2015 #4 Share Posted June 16, 2015 http://www.vikingcruisescanada.com/oceans now has a splash page that says "2017 itineraries open for booking on June 17". I would assume that it's not just Canadians who can book starting tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theremin Posted June 17, 2015 #5 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Hi, the link below will take you to the Viking site and a page that states "2017 Itineraries are now open for booking!". There is a link on the page. It looks like 2017 dates are available in the pull-down selector for most cruises. I haven't explored it very far, though. http://www.vikingcruises.com/oceans?medium=tsa&refsrcprg=sem:Viking-Ocean-Cruises-Brand-Search-USA&gclid=CIb2h9a4lcYCFQ8waQodaC4AxA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Azulann Posted June 17, 2015 #6 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I see the 2017 sailings of the" Into the Midnight Sun." There are five sailings using all three of the Vikings ships!!! in June and July of 2017.:) The prices are reasonable for this 15 day sailing. Early booking and deposit, and final payment in Dec of 2015. Need to talk to my sister who just went home early this morning after a week visit.

Rare Vineyard View Posted June 17, 2015 #7 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I wonder when they are going to post the Fall 2016 East Coast/Canada sailings, as well as those in North America in 2017........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopsA Posted June 17, 2015 #8 Share Posted June 17, 2015 2017 dates and pricing are up for the itineraries that have already been announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vineyard View Posted June 18, 2015 #9 Share Posted June 18, 2015 There was a link to an article on one of the threads where Viking announced they would sail 3 ten day itineraries on the East Coast/Canada Fall of 2016. I am not seeing these yet on their website, but it could be that I am not searching in the right place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbucky Posted June 18, 2015 #10 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Just today in the mail was the Viking catalogue that includes 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitraveler Posted June 19, 2015 #11 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Thanks for the heads up. We're looking at 7/1/2017 "into the Midnight Sun" on the Sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vineyard View Posted June 20, 2015 #12 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Thank you drib for that info. I am excited to see what the Star itineraries will be during Fall/Winter 2016. It will be nice having options closer to home for a shorter travel trip - we have a very long distance trip in Spring 2016. I will be watching for those specifics.....

I-Cruiser Posted June 26, 2015 #13 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I must say I was really surprised to see itineraries with stops in Tunis and Algeria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cassandra44 Posted June 26, 2015 #15 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I was updating my own cruise database for Viking Ocean. I noticed these two gaps in their itineraries. Viking Sea has a cruise that end in Venice on December 23, 2016,. Yikes! Who wants to be in Venice in December? All the other cruise lines leave well before then. The weather is very iffy then... and since Venice involves a lot of walking around?? Well I guess it would be quiet....absence of tourists would be a bonus but what about acqua alta? .

Rare Vineyard View Posted June 26, 2015 #16 Share Posted June 26, 2015 we have to agree with you Cassandra on Tunis. A few months back we were looking at additional Viking Oceans itineraries that would provide different ports - and those including Tunis - regardless of Cruise Lines are off our list. Algiers as well. And that is just sad..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-Cruiser Posted June 27, 2015 #17 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I would think Viking will change those itineraries. I cant think of any who would want to go there (Tunis and Algiers). Also, the Med can be a miserable place in December and January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are looking at June 3, 2017 on the Star. Heard the cruises are filling up fast already.

theremin Posted July 3, 2015 #20 Share Posted July 3, 2015 My wife & I are booked on Midnight Sun - Jun 17th on the Star (London to Bergen). The 2016 cruises filled up fast at about the 18 month point (Dec 2014) during a Viking "push". Right now the website is showing availability of all cabin types and all grades with each type.

rayandjean Posted July 6, 2015 Author #22 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Has anyone booked "Into the Midnight Sun"? We are looking at June 3, 2017 on the Star. Heard the cruises are filling up fast already. We just got back from a National Parks tour on 6/30. I have been impatiently waiting for the 2017 cruises to post and realized that they were there. Today we booked the June 3, 2017 "Into the Midngiht Sun" on the Viking Star and thrilled to have done so. Hope you will be joining us. They said we're unable to book extensions @ this time but promised to keep me posted...Valerie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may look for this same itinerary with some other cruise line too. If looks like a great trip! Have a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
