Any cruise booked within 2 weeks of disembarkation of any cruise is eligible for a “welcome back” shipboard credit of $200 per person. The type and length of cruise - as well as other discounts and promo codes do not affect this amount. I believe only Viking agents can apply this credit, as we only use the same Viking agent for our bookings. We have continually taken advantage of this credit for several years.

Thanks for the info.

Do any of the September/October sailings have a port stop scheduled in Prince Edward Island?

Ural guy - guess I missed that one. Regardless, there are other Viking ocean itineraries which do include excursions on Rome and Athens - plus many folks prefer to do their own pre and post excursions especially in Rome (per our host). A lot of planning goes into developing itineraries, but I still must disagree that pushing people to take their pre and post excursions is a major reason.

Unless I’m missing something, the only 14 night Viking Ocean cruise from Rome to Athens is Cities of Antiquities which includes overnights in both Rome and Athens as well as an included excursion in each city. Totally disagree with your assessment that selling extensions is why this itinerary exists.

Have a great trip. We’ll be in a suite for the first time next November on the Douro.

That’s what you get with a Veranda Suite - not a Veranda A.

No liquor or soda - only water. And you can find this info on Viking’s website. Go to the cruise you’re interested in, select dates and pricing, then any date. Look at Veranda A (same as B) and click on the magnifying glass. It will give the particulars for that class of cabin.

Thanks for the heads up 😊

I thought this might be a good place to share this info as Nile cruises are alive and well. Viking is running promo - see the details and promo code at

May I ask exactly what is a “served buffet”? Never heard that term before. TIA

Hate to be the one to tell you this, but Egypt cruises are going on as usual (at least on Viking) as there is an active roll call here on CC where folks are anticipating their Egypt cruises for this winter. Other than canceling pre or post extensions to Jerusalem, cruises are going on. Unless you had CFAR insurance, I don’t think any other cruise line would treat you differently.

We did one Princess cruise with 2 other couples in 2016 prior to cruising with Viking Ocean (we did a Viking River before than). After experiencing our first Viking Ocean in 2018, we stick with Viking. We completed 6 ocean and 5 river with 3 more ocean and 1 more river booked through 2025.

Strange - try rebooting or using a different machine to access MVJ.

In MVJ, go to Onboard Experience, then Preferences, then Stateroom Preferences, then check distilled water. This works 59% of the time - so just ask your room steward if it’s not there when you check into your cabin.

Thanks for the info.

Viking provides free distilled water which you can order before or when you board.

I’ve combined promos pre-covid - thanks for keeping us informed.

Mikey - did you have better luck using both promos?

We were assigned 3008 when we were quarantined in April, 2022. As we were directly above the Star Theatre, we heard the Abba show a few times - and since we quarantined, we couldn’t leave. MAMA MIA!

Is the $500 or $1,000 off per person or per couple? TIA

How do you use the code? I tride using price & build but it didn’t work. Thanks!

The info on VV is available on your cabin TV. I have found making reservations is much better in person than using VV.

It would apply. You just have to make the booking within 2 weeks of disembarkation - you can take the cruise anytime. You get an additional $200 per person OBC above any other discounts for each cruise booked. The amount is the same for river or ocean and long or short cruise. If you’re interested, I can email you his name and extension.
