Upgradefairy4u Posted June 2 #1 Share Posted June 2 I will be taking my first Trans Atlantic cruise on Viking Sea in October (BCN to SJU). I was just curious if Viking increases the daily activities to fill the many days at sea, and if so, what type of activities do they offer? Thanks in advance for any info!

"Baggo", Trivia and as many as three lectures during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CDNPolar Posted June 2 #3 Share Posted June 2 Not that this has been discussed in detail here but there are folks talking about organizing cards and other activities on the Roll Call for this cruise. I assume you are on the October 16th Viking Sea out of Barcelona. We are anticipating many lectures, crafts, painting, trivia, and probably many groups that will be looking to have board games or card games. I trust that over the 6 sea days Viking will do a little extra than if the cruise was having one or two sea days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TayanaLorna Posted June 3 #4 Share Posted June 3 Did same TA and have been on cruises with 7+ sea days. Besides the games, extra lectures and guest organized activities, Viking did wine tastings, gin tastings, scotch tastings, yoga classes, meditation classes, Bayeux Tapestry tour, galley and bridge tours, movies in the theatre, themed lunches or dinners in pool area. Best to check with Guest Services as some activities need reservations and check the Viking Daily daily. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mich3554 Posted June 3 #6 Share Posted June 3 Our first cruise with Viking was a trans Atlantic. What we discovered was that it really was relaxing to be able to sit back and read and watch the ocean go by without needing to get something done. Since that first day, both of us really relish sea days. You can schedule yourself as busy as you want to be….or not. There are usually an increased number of activities scheduled. Sometimes we partake, sometimes not. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryInIL Posted June 5 #7 Share Posted June 5 Are the transatlantic cruises at full capacity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tend to be under booked but are featured in promotions which may increase the occupancy. If you have a specific one in mind you can go to the website and start a dummy booking to see what cabins are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe this one is at capacity since we just upgraded our stateroom from a PV3 to PV1 and there were many cabins to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FetaCheese Posted June 6 #10 Share Posted June 6 (edited) Have noticed for several months: when doing a mock booking, wording above cabin selection says to select cabin from all available inventory, and way more cabins show than the previous listing of only 5 or so cabins. To answer @JerryInIL question, was recently on TA FLL/BCN. Around 800 pax. Edited June 6 by FetaCheese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
