How many English speaker passengers were on the boat. I noticed 170 German passengers but how many total people were on this particular cruise?

Here are a few to make you smile.

Toilet paper at our Safeway was just refreshed and gone quickly. Let us not forget the past.

 

I saw a new article about this ship and the top Berlitz rating. It looks like the closest expedition ship rating is 286 Berlitz point below Inspiration. That is impressive. My question is about the pool area. I noticed the roof is flexible but in the pictures the sides look open or free air. Is this right on does it actually seal off the area from wind and rain?  Here is the write-up.

Did anyone find out how of the 930 people on board are doing the full 245 Day World cruise and not segments?

I can see when booking a cruise on Europa 2 it is our responsibility to set up my airlines but is there normally a goto hotel at the start city that most stay a day or so before the cruise.

Do they have a representative in this hotel for help?

Is transportation from the hotel to the ship included?

Is transportation from the airport to hotel on our own or not?

I get the feeling for a US customer there is no HL insurance policy offed. What percentage of the trip cost do you calculate the insurance cost on Europa 2 and which companies do some of you use?

Catlover54 thanks for your response. My wife and I already booked months ago our first Viking Cruise from Rome to Lisbon for 13 days making this our 16th cruise with multiple lines. We looked at the excursions offered and on some port they had up to 11 options and all of them were good. The least was 7 excursions. They varied from light all the way up to tough and you have to be in good shape. Mt thought was on Europa 2 I was unable to see any of the offered excursion because I was not booked. I know Viking has many ships during the year in some of these ports and they have good relations and steady people going on excursions. With Europa they may only get to a port once a year and probably have less offerings. On top of that you mentioned that at least one is in english. That means in one port I have to not select the others offered. At the same time being a smaller ship I would think the selection is also more limited. Am I correct?

How do you find the available excursions for a Europa 2 cruise. I have been unable to find this on the Europa 2 site.

An earlier Europa 2 Suites review from July 26 2018

 

Europa 2 video review just posted today by Tips For Travelers. His reviews are very good.

I look forward to your ship review. Have you ever been on any of the Viking Ocean Ships? That would make a nice comparison. Have a good trip.

Does the Europa 2 have High Tea everyday or sometime or is it not the thing for this boat. My enjoys High Tea when she travels.

Maybe I missed this fact but how many on the ship were on the actual Full World cruise compared to others coming on and off for sectors of short trips? Jim Thanks for all of the info from Scottsdale Arizona
