We also did the shoex to Tarquinia. Since it was Easter Sunday and we've been to Rome before, we decided to take this marvelous tour that is just a short drive up the coast. Here is my review from April of this year: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2927474-almost-live-viking-sky-mediterranean-odyssey-april-2023/?do=findComment&comment=65232669

Vouchers are only available on Viking River, where you can’t book future cruises. Viking Ocean and Expedition allow you to book onboard and receive other discounts/OBC, so no vouchers.

We just booked! Looking forward to meeting you again.

FYI They just added a 2026 date. Unfortunately the October 2025 date wasn’t announced when we were on our Expedition cruise in October, all others were sold out, so we missed out on the onboard booking benefits/discounts.

Now that more dates were added, we’re considering that route. Our Japan land trip was canceled in 2020 because of COVID. What date are you booked?

Typically additional tours are added. Sometimes it will show “sold out” if the arrangements with the tour operator aren’t finalized or there is some other issue. What itinerary and how far out are you?

2026 dates are now open. New itineraries for China. An invitation to explore China in Viking comfort We are delighted to share first with you, our valued past travelers, that we have three new ocean voyages giving Viking guests exclusive access to coastal China in 2024. With these all-inclusive, fully guided journeys, you can discover the best of China the Viking way, with experiences designed to introduce you to the people, culture and cuisine of this fascinating country. For more than 15 years, Viking explored the Yangtze River and China’s iconic sites—the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and the Terra Cotta Warriors—and with our new itineraries we are offering the unique opportunity to explore seldom-seen coastal ports to which only Viking has access, as well as the most celebrated landmarks. We invite you to learn more about these new itineraries and why China is such a captivating destination in a video from Viking Executive Vice President Karine Hagen.

We cancelled both of our reservations. On our last 2 Ocean cruises we were disappointed with Manfredi’s. When we saw that The Restaurant had the exact same main course as the World Cafe, we decided to cancel. The food on the Explorer ships are definitely the best we have experienced. Having a steak house quality grill, sushi bar, seafood buffet, bakery, and incredible desserts every night made it an easy decision. Plus, we didn’t want to miss nightly trivia.

We just did the repositioning cruise in October and I saw almost no one dress up for dinner. It is very casual. Here is my writeup:

Here is one from April. They are all the same format. Just insert the port, lecture topics and tours.

There is almost nothing that exceeds the amount (high end Champaign and full bottles of wine, if I recall).

We were only on the Santiago to Ushuaia leg, which we highly recommend. Here is my writeup Not sure if the "toys" are deployed north of Santiago. That being said I found the Expedition ship the best experience of any of the Viking products. The entertainment is limited but I enjoyed that. (I find cruise ship entertainment to be typically awful and something to be avoided.) The main focus is lectures on science, nature, and history; all of which I found fascinating, enjoyable, and first rate. As for as food, it's superior to both Viking Ocean and River. You can dine on steak and lobster every night if you so wish. They also have an extensive sushi bar and seafood buffet. We never had a reason to eat in the restaurant and cancelled both of our reservations. If you are expecting a typically cruise ship experience, you need to adjust your expectations. It is not that. We had 320 passengers and 250 crew. The service was incredible.

We were just on the Expedition cruise of the fjords in October and the only insects we noticed were bees.
