jiminyC_fan Posted July 17, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Their airport transfers are always well handled. They are easy to spot in the airport. One time we had a bus take us. Another time we had a beautiful BMW private transfer. It just depends on how many they are picking up at a given time. We have always had a pre stay so we are taken to our hotel but I am sure it is handled the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody have info on how they handle the transfers from airport to ship ? Thanks.:) Usual by bus (but Venice embarkations may have their own quirks). Viking representatives will be waiting for you when you exit customs and immigration. Look for their signs and their bright red shirts. They will direct you where to go next, usually to handover your luggage for transport to the ship. Once you have ditched your luggage, they will direct you where to wait until the bus is ready to load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are first you see after a passport control or near the luggage carousel depends on the country. We were in the van with 4 more people last year in Amsterdam and we were on the bus with probably 10 more people (12 missed connections) this year. Both times it was easy, friendly and fun :). Chilled water was provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureGal79 Posted July 18, 2017 #5 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Hello! We are also on the Oct Italian Sojourn! We have a meet and greet going, and there are two threads out in the Sun, if you are looking for others (one thread mistakenly said an Oct 17th sailing, but we use both/either thread). Where are you connecting through? We are going via Frankfurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the little triangle by the post number to open a dialogue box for reporting the problem to the moderators.

Choose Something Fun Posted July 18, 2017 #9 Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) We arrived a day late in Barcelona due to weather. We called the boat from Zurich and told them when we would be landing in Barcelona and they had a rep waiting for us at the baggage carousel. He took us to a waiting cab who brought us to the ship. When we disembarked, they put us on a bus that was waiting at the cruise terminal which took us to the airport in Rome.

stcroixguy Posted July 21, 2017 #10 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Mine was the misdated roll call... I was thinking the day we leave rather than the day the cruise starts. We also are using Viking air. We had a surprise this week. We had an American air reservation. Then if disappeared. I looked on the American airline site and the flight have changed so now we are in limbo. I'm sure they will figure it out. We leave from Minneapolis/St Paul. Excited for the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiminyC_fan Posted July 21, 2017 #11 Share Posted July 21, 2017 stcroixguy, United totally cancelled our return trip a few months before we left. Viking did a great job rebooking us with Lufthansa. I'm sure you will be just fine. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stcroixguy Posted July 21, 2017 #12 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Thank you for the voice of confidence, we are hoping for delta and layover in Amsterdam. We'll have to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureGal79 Posted July 21, 2017 #13 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Our original light (with Lufthansa) showed up, and then disappeared a week or two later. After we finalized / fully paid for it, it showed back up again! It might have been coincidence; I know they did some sort of web site update recently, so maybe it was to fix things like that?
