Spiiffy Posted September 2, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Hi All! My best friend and I hope to do a Christmas Markets River cruise in 2021 with Viking. The problem is she is allergic to real Christmas trees. We are trying to figure out if the trees and garland on the ship are real or fake? Also, is it highly decorated - like garlands and trees everywhere? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Roz Posted September 2, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I don't know the answer to your question, but how will she deal with the trees and decorations at the Christmas markets? Roz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiiffy Posted September 2, 2019 Author #3 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Hi, she will take lots of allergy meds 🙂 Enclosed spaces are a bit tougher for her. We just want an idea of what to expect so she knows how to plan accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyJan Posted September 3, 2019 #4 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I have been on Uniworld and Grand Circle. The trees and boughs were artificial. Inside the room there was a small arrangement with real pine and fruits, easily something that could be removed. The decorations go up in late November and have to look good all through the season so I’m sure artificial trees are much less work for the crew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimdalva Posted September 4, 2019 #6 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I don't know, but would hope for safety, the trees are fake. Christmas trees are very flammable and fire is the greatest threat on any ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
