Heidi 13 has been posting updates on the Neptune Roll Call for the World cruise December 22. Lots of pages to look through and the search will help but most posts are on recent pages.

I surely hope it's ready to go! Since the yard started cutting steel and fabricating blocks over a year ago and she has already completed sea trials, I would be surprised if she was delayed. Worst case is probably similar to the Mars, where supply chain issues prevented some non-critical components being delivered and installed, but did not delay handover to the owners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myrtle Ave. Mayhem Posted July 26, 2022 #10 Share Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) I'll be on the trans-Atlantic crossing in December. Love any itinerary on Viking, but TA's are my favorite so as to enjoy all the sea days. The Viking Neptune will be the destination!
