Churchill’s Britain excursion

[Jaxinator]

We are booked in the June 17, 2022 Into the Midnight Sun cruise.  We have signed up for the Churchill pre-excursion.  Looking for comments.  Also, if anyone took this, would you have a copy of the itinerary.  Looking to book some evening dinners and would like to know when are evenings become free.  Thanks.

It's almost certainly on your itinerary already, but don't under any circumstances miss the Churchill War Rooms in London! We went there on a Midnight Sun shore excursion in 2019, and it was a real stand-out. My husband is a military history buff, while I'm more interested in cultural history and the home front--we both loved it!

 

But learn from our mistake: There appear at first to be only a handful of rooms to explore, so we took our time and examined everything in detail. But in fact, it's an extensive complex of rooms--almost a rabbit warren--full of interesting exhibits. Having spent so much time on the first three or four rooms, we had to rush through the rest much too fast!

 

Incidentally, after more than 20 years of cruising Midnight Sun ranks among our very favorites! Every single port was wonderful. If you need recommendations for providers of private shore excursions, just ask!

We did 4 days pre in London before our British Isles cruise in 2019.  On our 2nd full day in London we went to the "Churchill War Rooms".  There is a small snack bar in the complex.  We probably spent about 6 hours there including getting lunch at the snack bar. We booked tickets on line on the "Churchill War Rooms" web site. Just do some reading at the web site. There were several exhibits that were Churchill's speeches or radio addresses.

By being on a tour, Viking should have your entery tickets for you.

Enjoy the "Rooms" and your cruise.
