CurlerRob Posted July 17 #1676 Share Posted July 17 6 hours ago, zelker said: We're considering the July 2025 cruise NYC-AMS but would like to know if they do any scenic cruising around Svalbard, to increase chance of seeing wildlife (other than birds). Have you read anything about that? Unlikely in the sense that I think you mean. You will overnight in Longyearbyen, arriving early am and leaving the next day in late afternoon. You may have some sightings on the approach and departure, but there is no circling of the archipelago in the same way that the expedition ships of several lines do. I believe that part of this is due to the changed rules regarding polar classification - VO ships are not classified at the same level as their (or others) expedition ships, and can't get as close to the ice as in past years. (In 2015 we were on another line - their 'standard' vessel went well to the north of Svalbard to the edge of the polar ice pack. That doesn't happen today. On that same cruise, we did have a polar bear 'sighting' on shore - or so we were told by the master and those with powerful telephoto lenses! Unfortunately, I was not among them ... 🍺🥌 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exploretheworldkb77 Posted July 17 #1678 Share Posted July 17 On 6/30/2022 at 11:00 AM, Clay Clayton said: I’d like to suggest that we start a thread where those who receive emailed promos from Viking post them. IFrom what I can determine, Viking doesn’t always include everyone on their mailing list with all promo emails. We lucked out and got the one for our upcoming (🤞if it’s not canceled) Hong Kong to Bangkok cruise but we really want to go on this cruise next summer but prefer to book with a promo code. https://www.vikingcruises.com/oceans/cruise-destinations/baltic/iceland-norway-arctic-explorer/index.html That's an excellent idea! I am not sure how Viking determines who receives those emails. You would think it is everyone who signs up for their promo/email newsletters hmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you read anything about that? We were just there and I think(!) there was an excursion devoted to whale watching. I saw seven one morning early (while doing my early morning lap walking) on the crossing from Iceland to Greenland-spectacular!

Have you read anything about that? Originally wanted NY - AMS but instead just booked somewhat similar London - NY next May on Sky. It's a b2b that combines 15 nights around the British Isles with 29 nights from Bergen - NY. The second leg is same as AMS - NY just without the 7 days from AMS - Bergen. Was able to book it as two sailings enabling us to use FD724 twice giving us $1k discount and $400 double past guest on each leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
