Rare Peregrina651 Posted July 2, 2016 #4 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Anyone familiar with a Viking itinerary that includes the Amazon River? It is a new itinerary for Viking and won't be sailed for a while so no one can give you first hand knowledge at this point. But we can confirm that it is on the schedule.

emileg Posted July 10, 2016 #7 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Take a look at this Cruise Critic page for extensive information about cruising the Amazon as well as its ports. http://www.cruisecritic.com/articles.cfm?ID=1690 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvnps Posted July 11, 2016 #8 Share Posted July 11, 2016 emileg, I don't want to hijack the thread, but I am new to Cruise Critic - although we have taken 23 ocean cruises (starting in 1967) and 4 river cruises. Anyway, I'm off on a tangent - was interested to see that you had traveled on Home Lines Oceanic. We took 12 cruises on Home Lines, most of them on the Oceanic. We loved that ship and the crew was fantastic - truly felt like home to us. The line is long gone, but we still have very fond memories of the old Homeric, the new Homeric, Doric, Oceanic and Atlantic (though that ship rode like a cork on the ocean). Sorry for the trip down Memory Lane, but we so seldom hear of anyone who used Home Lines. Enjoy your future travels. We are booked for our first Viking Ocean Cruise in July 2017 - Viking Homelands.

fnewman Posted July 16, 2016 Author #9 Share Posted July 16, 2016 There is that one 2017 trip, leaving 12/16, but that means being gone over Christmas, so won't wok for us. Come on Viking - can't you do a trip more than once a year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vineyard View Posted July 17, 2016 #10 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Fmewman - I second your request and for the same exact reason. LOVE the itinerary.......but Christmas it the stumbling block or we would be seriously looking at booking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jtm1979 Posted July 19, 2016 #11 Share Posted July 19, 2016 We are also looking at this cruise......but stumble when we think of being away from the kids/grandkids at Christmas. We would definitely take this cruise if another date was presented.
