Viking needs to update shows and also vary. For those who go on several cruises a year——we are tired of the Abba and Beatles songbook shows and cabaret acts.

Ship tip
Be aware of the notoriously choppy Tasman Sea crossing
The wine tasting portion of our paid excursion was a bust. Otherwise excellent. The host at the vineyard (which was beautiful) was rude and did not offer pours to the international standard of 2-3 oz per taste. He made one bottle last through 35 tastes with at least half a glass left over. We got either one large sip or two small ones. INAPPROPRIATE!!
We waiting almost an hour past our advertised time to be allowed off ship. Since we did Viking post-extension in Sydney getting off on our own wasn’t viable.
We sail the Tasman Sea 1st through the 3rd January, 2023. We were on Viking Mars. We got lucky as the sea wasn't too bad. I was preparing for the worst as I heard how rough it is sometimes. Liked your review!
Yup, the Tasman can be rough! We galloped through there a few years ago. I met a man who had been stationed there during war and he told me it was always that way!
