Ready to Sail! Posted September 15, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 15, 2023 We are booked on only our 2nd Viking Ocean cruise. I know we can bring our own liquor on board. Can we also buy a bottle in the on board shop? I can't remember but probably wasn't looking for it last cruise. We have been on about 15 cruises so we have been in many cruise port terminals and we honestly can't recall if they sell liquor in duty free shop. We don't want to bring with us but won't have a chance to buy before we reach our port of embarkation in Valparaiso, Chili, so wondering what our options are.

Meander Ingwa Posted September 15, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 15, 2023 (edited) Was going to suggest looking for a botillaria if you are staying someplace the night before but you say you won't have time Edited September 15, 2023 by Meander Ingwa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ready to Sail! Posted September 15, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I was hoping we wouldn't have to wander around looking for a shop but it is an option since we will have time with an overnight in port. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LindaS272 Posted September 15, 2023 #4 Share Posted September 15, 2023 This thread in TripAdvisor mentions the Jumbo grocery near the port and says it has wine and spirits. The thread is from four years ago, but my map shows the store as does Google. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g294306-i6334-k12189992-Valparaiso_cruise_port_grocery_store-Valparaiso_Valparaiso_Region.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare CCWineLover Posted September 15, 2023 #6 Share Posted September 15, 2023 We always google the nearest bottle shop to the port/ship that we are going on. The best is Barcelona, since they have a wonderful wine/liquor/other facility right in the terminal check in building! So you don't even have to carry it very far. And not bad prices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TayanaLorna Posted September 15, 2023 #7 Share Posted September 15, 2023 On our Midnight Sun cruise, Viking sold bottles of Aquavit that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
