So I know about Malta that one can go off on own , but do not know about Italy or Spain . Figure When I get on board it will

be known. I am only doing ship excursion for my cruise. Viking died a great job with hiring guides .

Nice! What cruise are you on?

The announcement said it was for all Viking ships (subject to local rules) .  In Malta we could go ashore independently but Greece yesterday at CDC level 4 meant we had to stay in the Viking bubble.  Now the person in charge of all the safety Covid rules  in head office (Chief Medical Officer) has said the Viking rules have changed and so we can stay ashore after our tours and wander around  on our own.  So it doesn’t seem to be the itinerary as it applies to all ships.  
Happy exploring!

The announcement was made by the cruise director on board Venus. I’ve no idea if it is available in written form anywhere yet.
