Viking Paris to the Swiss Alps - Highlights of the Alps excursion.

[Ryan208]

We taking this cruise in September and are thinking about taking the Highlights of the Alps optional excursion. Has anyone on here taken it? I read one comment that said it was a cattle call and not worth the $$$. We would appreciate hearing from someone who’s taken it recently. Thanks in advance!

Have you tried the roll calls to see if there's a review?

 

The 2024 roll call is here

 

If not found there, have a look at the 2023 Roll Call

[Ryan208]

Thanks. I looked through most of those and found a couple.

We have not done this but, for us, it would depend on the price and length of the extension compared to what we feel we could do on our own.

just finished this cruise on the Hild a couple of weeks ago and our group 8 people all did this and everyone thought it was well worth the cost and the 10 hour trip.If you were doing the glacier express or some other Alps extension then you would not need to do this but if not it the only time on this trip you will se the alps.other than from a great distance on Lake Zurich. Just hope for good weather as the mountains can often be cloud covered

Thanks SSBN602. I appreciate your take on it. We have booked the excursion, so are keeping our fingers crossed that we’ll have good weather that day. 😊
