Tour of the bridge

Does anyone know if Viking ocean cruises does a tour of the bridge? I know we got one on our Viking river cruise but I haven't seen anything about the bigger ships.

Yes they provide a tour of the bridge during a time in port. The announcement in made in the daily bulletin for signup at the Explorers Desk. Well worth the visit.

Asked to be notified at the Explorers Desk and looked for the announcement on our Homelands cruise. Nada.

Great! That's good to know.

They had it on the Sky Barcelona the Baltic Sea and Beyond.

Ship's Bridge was a very informative. No paper charts....but still a handwritten ship's log!

There is also a kitchen tour that was fun to do too....hard to hear sometimes so hopefully they took our suggestion and have started to use voice boxes for the tour!

We are just off the September 3 Viking Homelands and took a bridge tour - we just went to the shore excursions desk on embarkation day and signed up. I don't recall seeing any notices about signing up - I just knew what to do from this wonderful forum!

That actually makes me sad, one thing that Princess does (actually, i've only come across it on the Regal Princess) is on the last day of the cruise during an art auction (yes I know there is no such thing on Viking...My bank account says thank you) is they auction off the navigation chart for the cruise from the bridge (you get it delivered to your cabin after the ship has docked) the proceeds from that auction goes into a shipboard fund that helps any crew members that have an emergency. The bidding gets pretty competitive for those charts, I have a couple, they make for unique reminders of the cruise.
