Viking sky homelands packing list and phone question

[TravelerTeacherRetired]

Hi, New to Viking and Scandinavia. 
does anyone have a suggested packing list to share? We leave May 20th. 
 

also do we need special adapters for phone or iPad charging ?  

or other plug in items? 
 

We got lucky and just booked so I’m a bit frantic. 
 

thanks 

Cindy

Here is the Viking board for the questions about the ship:

And here is the sub-forum for Baltic Sea ports, that covers the Scandinavian area:

VIKING ocean ships have a BUNCH of USB ports .... and adequate supply of US style 120v outlets. Each bedside table has <note: bedside one USB is "high power">

 

in addition the desk lamp has 5 more USB ports

and at the desk 

if that's not enuf, or if staying in a hotel along the way consider buying a universal outlet converter. These are inexpensive and plugged into the circular EU style outlet you see bedside and at desk they can provide a US style outlet and often USB ports. DO NOT buy one that is a voltage converter or a surge suppressor .. I'll not go into technical details but these are typically a no-no ship board. MOST electrical items today using a US style plug will automatically accept either 120 0r 240 volts (almost anything that uses a USB plug even thru an adapter will be OK) Mine actually was a return customer gift from VIKING pre-COVID. Example 

 

Last trip we had 2 phones, 2 sets of ear buds, 2 kindles one laptop an apple watch and STILL had plenty of USB ports as we never needed everything plugged in at the same time!

Thanks for all your info. I’m hearing different answers so could you clarify- are Viking sky usb ports usb-c or usb-a? I have iPhone 15 both ends of cable are the same.

You will need an adapter for the usb-c.  Pack of 3 available on Amazon.  EM
