Capt_BJ Posted April 16 #3 Share Posted April 16 (edited) VIKING ocean ships have a BUNCH of USB ports .... and adequate supply of US style 120v outlets. Each bedside table has <note: bedside one USB is "high power"> in addition the desk lamp has 5 more USB ports and at the desk if that's not enuf, or if staying in a hotel along the way consider buying a universal outlet converter. These are inexpensive and plugged into the circular EU style outlet you see bedside and at desk they can provide a US style outlet and often USB ports. DO NOT buy one that is a voltage converter or a surge suppressor .. I'll not go into technical details but these are typically a no-no ship board. MOST electrical items today using a US style plug will automatically accept either 120 0r 240 volts (almost anything that uses a USB plug even thru an adapter will be OK) Mine actually was a return customer gift from VIKING pre-COVID. Example Last trip we had 2 phones, 2 sets of ear buds, 2 kindles one laptop an apple watch and STILL had plenty of USB ports as we never needed everything plugged in at the same time!

TravelerTeacherRetired Posted April 17 Author #5 Share Posted April 17 Thanks for all your info. I’m hearing different answers so could you clarify- are Viking sky usb ports usb-c or usb-a? I have iPhone 15 both ends of cable are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted April 17 #6 Share Posted April 17 You will need an adapter for the usb-c. Pack of 3 available on Amazon. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
