The itinerary is not good. Long drives from the port to the city. Included tours are a waste of time. Sitting on a bus the whole time stuck in traffic. Some ports of call just not worth seeing as nothing there and the pollution and garbage will make you sick.

Please enjoy the service, restaurants, great wine & amenities, not so much for the included tours.

Lots of included wine to drink.

Not worth paying a lot extra for suite. Also, book your own excursions, via a company such as Viator.

Re-examine what made you #1. You’re moving to fast from where you were to what you have now become. Nowhere as good,

Viking Orion has the Explorer Dome with three 3D shows which we really enjoyed.

Covid-19 testing was very reassuring; Viking has done this right with their processes in place.

We booked shore excursions before our cruise so we got our top choices. The website offers nice description. At least one free excursion every port. If you have mobility issues some may not be for you. Depending on room category will determine how far in advance you can reserve excursions and dining. If you are looking for a cruise jam packed with nonstop activities to make yo stay busy, this is probably not for you. If you want a cruise that is relaxing, peaceful, makes you smile, challenges your thinking- then this is the cruise line for you. Viking advertises that this is a thinking man’s cruise, we did not miss tripping over crowds, loud groups, scraping deck chairs, etc.

Have Fun! Bring Games! Meet new people! Know that the Staff really have your best interest at heart! Taking Covid Test daily really wasn't too bad ( just the waiting & praying you don't catch covid) Wear your mask in crowded areas & elevator.
