I understand not in the dining venues, but what about after dinner??? Yes. You be very out of place in shorts and t-shirt after dinner unless you are in your cabin. Wear a golf shirt and casual pants--that will take you anywhere on the ship after dinner. Shows, bars, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitchly Posted October 12, 2021 #1403 Share Posted October 12, 2021 We traveled in colder months so I don’t know about shorts and t-shirts. But on some evenings after long days excursioning, we didn’t feel like changing out of jeans, and we were fine in the more casual World Café for dinner. We were also fine afterward in the Explorer’s Lounge or one of the many onboard nooks and crannies for reading or chatting, like the seats alongside the Wintergarden. We didn’t attend most of the shows, and we didn’t visit Torshavn in the evening; we probably would’ve dressed up a bit (changed into slacks) for those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other guests perhaps but if you are comfortable being in the minority then I say have at it…it is your holiday and you won’t be breaking any rules. 😊 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand not in the dining venues, but what about after dinner??? From a VERY recent Viking Daily: Evening attire is elegant casual for all dining venues, performances and special events; there are no "formal nights" in the evening. Required attire for ladies includes a dress, skirt or slacks with a sweater or blouse; for gentlemen, trousers and a collared shirt. A tie and jacket are optional; jeans are not permitted. The evening dress excludes the World Cafe where the dress remains casual after 6:00 PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the tropics, when returning late from being ashore, I wore shorts & golf shirt to the World Cafe for a late dinner a couple of nights. After dinner, we returned to the cabin, as I would not walk around the ship wearing shorts & runners, in the evening. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx. From a June 18, 2019 post associated with the Viking 19/20 World Cruise: #397, so the prices are likely out of date, but it gives you an idea of some of the services offered. Prices are as follows. Women’s - mani &59/pedi $69/ wash, cut, blow dry $75 - $80 - $85 (depending on hair length) Men’s - mani $35/pedi $69 haircut - $39 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Zelker for asking the question and thank you Peregrina651 for the response. In registering travel plans in the STEP Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (https://step.state.gov) amongst the information requested is: “* Please provide at least one complete address and/or phone number where the U.S. Embassy can reach you while traveling abroad in the case of an emergency.” So I too was trying to figure out emergency contact information while on the ship because I’m not sure my cell phone will be functional. Although I will be on the Viking Star rather than the Orion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zelker Posted October 19, 2021 #1413 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) Thanks. But not sure this would be the number family would call to reach us on the ship in an emergency. Edited October 19, 2021 by zelker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is answered by the land-based Viking call center. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deec Posted October 22, 2021 #1420 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Viking used to send fun gifts after a cruise...I haven't seen that in a long time. If you forget a bag or don't have room there are always some for sale in the gift shop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deec Posted October 23, 2021 #1424 Share Posted October 23, 2021 As I remember it is not marked as far as .25/.5 etc....there is a sign somewhere about how many laps /mile if JeriGail says 1/4 per lap I believe it. Usually one way traffic/ walkers and runners sharing same space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
