BUgrad Posted July 30, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 30, 2019 My cruise does not depart until May. Just wondering what others think about departing from Hong Kong in the current political situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunding Posted July 30, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) The "current political situation" in Hong Kong will not exist in May. One way or another. Edited July 30, 2019 by Hunding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidi13 Posted July 30, 2019 #3 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Viking will monitor the situation closely and if risks are excessive, will make changes. Our cruise next year has already dropped 3 ports. We have 3 days in HK in March and I have no doubts the current issues will be resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvgrammy Posted July 30, 2019 #4 Share Posted July 30, 2019 We are leaving in September and Hong Kong is the last port. I am not worried as Viking will change ports if need be. Also, things were getting very heated in the last 24 hours so guessing it might be done by September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squawkman Posted July 30, 2019 #5 Share Posted July 30, 2019 We had a port change last year - for political reasons, Tunis was replaced with Naples - which was fine with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major issue if an arrival/departure port is changed due to impact on flights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry for you that you didn't have the opportunity to visit Tunis (and environs) - pretty spectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did get one port in North Africa (Algiers) and we did get the opportunity to tour Herculaneum - something on our bucket list. BTW, we took the optional Viking excursion which was terrific - great guide, very reasonable cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harbourside Posted July 30, 2019 #9 Share Posted July 30, 2019 My cruise starts on 20th September in Hong Kong. Would be a major to change starting point. No other options . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
