After our Viking river cruise, we spent the night in Amsterdam. We board the Viking Venus the next day. This video details our itinerary, what we did in each port, and what differentiates Viking Ocean from other ocean going ships.
As you saw in the video, I loved the ship, the cabin, our Pulpit Rock cruise, and our day in Oslo. If I had it to do over again:
Book Flam Railway on my own. I wish we would have bought a round trip Flam Railway ticket and enjoyed the journey on our own.
Skipped the included tour in Kristiansand. Our guide wasn’t the best so I think we’d enjoy exploring the town more on our own.
Do laundry late at night from the beginning. Viking has self serve washers and dryers including soap. This is a great perk. I naively thought we’d be the only ones doing laundry right after boarding. Big mistake. Huge. It was the Hunger Games in that laundry room. I later learned 9:00 pm was a great time to do laundry. I popped down from our seats in Torshavn and change the laundry.
What do you think of Viking Ocean? Does it seem like a good fit for how you like to spend your time during your cruise vacation?
