Viking Cabins. electrical outlets

[ddean52]

We will be doing a Viking Grand Euro cruise on Legend and it would be very helpful if someone could post the configuration for electrical outlets in the cabin, where and what.

thanks in advance, Dean

Usually there is an electrical outlet by the "desk" or vanity. You may have only 1 or 2 outlets. There outlets will most likely be 220V European style.

We always travel with a small multi-plug electical cord. We also have a 220V adaptor. The multi-plug cord allows us to recharge severl batteries.

Being a new river vessel, the first guest will be sailing in March on the Viking River Legend.

We will be useing a converter...and always travel with a multi-plug strip...however, I dont think the north american plug strip will work with 220 euro current..need to do more research.....thanks.:)

I am not clear on what you mean by the 110V cord not working on 220V. Do you need a coverter for 220V to 110V or an adaptor plug for the outlet. Are you using something that has a motor?

 

Unless the item you are using has a motor you probably do not need a converter. If you check the electrical rating stamp on the item, most non-motorized devices are 110/220V

Most Battery chargers, hot hair rollers and other items are 110/220V. Hair dryers may have a switch to operate on 110V or 220V.

 

The 110V power cord will work with a 220V plug adaptor. You may need a larger size (10 gauge vs 12 or 14 gauge) cord depending on the items you are using.

 

Usually there is a 110V outlet in the bath for RAZORs only.

 

Hope this helps.

And if you are traveling with a device that has a motor, be aware that a motor designed for 60Hz will run hot on a 50Hz line and may burn out even if you've converted the voltage down to 110. Check the unit to see if it's designed for both 50 and 60.
