Viking ocean cruise - In search of the Northern Lights

Even the free excursions are booked up?

I thought Viking guaranteed one free excursion per port to all passengers.

Look at the shore excursions available for each day. One will be marked “included “. That one should not be filled up.

Don’t assume that the free ones are bad. Most of them are very good. That is one thing Viking prides themselves on.

We took the Bordeaux river cruise a few months ago and were happy with the excursions, including the free ones.

Our good friends took this cruise last year. They enjoyed it, but the Northern Lights didn't cooperate. The tour guide told them to take pictures anyway, the lights would show better in the photograph.

Start in Bergen and go up the coast above the arctic circle. Come back down the coast and then go to Amsterdam for a day and end in London.. 12 days on the boat. I’m anticipating some motion at some point.

Just got off a Viking River Cruise and I will say, I am investing some money into the company. A truly world-class company that goes above and beyond for their guests.
