Little Monty Posted December 4, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Quite exciting for us Aussies ... Viking Orion arrived in Darwin today on its way to Sydney. Other than the Viking Sun on the World Cruise earlier in 2018 this is the first time a Viking ship has visited Australia. On 16 December the Orion departs Sydney for Auckland New Zealand and on 30 December it returns to Sydney (we will be boarding on 30 December, which is even more exciting). To those on board today, welcome to Australia. To those who will be on board on 16 or 30 December - not long to wait 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Avery Posted December 4, 2018 #5 Share Posted December 4, 2018 We were on that inaugural visit to Darwin and loved it. Wish we had a couple of days in Darwin instead of just a few hours. Any idea how long they stay this time? The people we met in Darwin were outstandingly friendly.😎 (Beer was not to bad as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Monty Posted December 4, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Yes, grins all round ! Hi Jim ... the Orion is staying overnight in Darwin, then Thursday Island, Cairns, Hamilton Island, Townsville, Brisbane and Newcastle into Sydney. I recall some of your adventures on board the World Cruise and look forward to your reports again next year. Happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Monty Posted December 6, 2018 Author #9 Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) There is a review just posted in CC indicating norovirus outbreak on Orion. FYI Edited December 6, 2018 by Little Monty Error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Sunflower & The Scientist Posted December 6, 2018 #10 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Not seeing that where did you find that? Oh dear.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Monty Posted December 6, 2018 Author #11 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Yes, oh dear. At the bottom of this page 'Cruise Reviews'. Then select Viking Orion. The heading of the review is .... We have a Noroviros on board right now. All of the pools and spa area are closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Sunflower & The Scientist Posted December 6, 2018 #12 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Thanks....I found that now. Forgot that was there. I had not read the last two reviews on there. That's really not good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushka Posted December 7, 2018 #13 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I’ve been on Celebrity Equinox where 8 days out of 10 there was a noro outbreak. It makes for miserable and paranoid times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
