Dis / Dreams Viking Sea Cruise around Italy 3/24 - 3/31/2018

[Cousin Orville]

Decisions at work easy- decisions regarding travel are very very difficult.

I agree 100%!

 

[weatherboy80]

Lots and lots of decisions. That Tuscany pre-night package looks mighty tempting, especially visiting the Chianti wine region

Although my DW's family is from a small village (Roccamorice) about 2 hours from Rome in the mountains (her Dad was even born there). She's been once a long time ago, but I've never seen it. Plus I've never been to Rome and would love to see the Vatican myself.

So what kind of timeline do we think we should have our pre or post cruise packages decided and sorted out?

Also regarding buying trip insurance will it or can it cover all the additional items like airfare and pre or post night type packages?

I saw our Viking cruise mentioned in a Conde Naste Traveler article, "Where to Cruise in 2017: 8 Lesser Known Ports"

4/8
Kornati Islands, Croatia

This dense archipelago of 140 islands off the coast of Zadar, Croatia, is mostly preserved as a national park. As such, it’s become a popular “scenic cruising” region for ships traveling down the Croatian coast toward popular ports Split and Hvar. Some ships, like those of Viking Ocean Cruises, stop in nearby Šibenik, Croatia’s oldest coastal town and a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the architecture, food, and music reflect multiple influences, from Byzantine to Venetian to the Habsburgs.

Jeff, looking forward to seeing you in Val! I am sure we will see you guys before the cruise, but going to be great in Italy!

Okay, I am almost convinced. What are you guys thinking airfare wise, especially with Easter?
I have never flown to Europe before so the airfare barrier is my mental block.

Viking is offering an air promo of $895 per person for basic economy from major US cities.

This offer is only good for your Viking reservation (inc Viking additional nights).

If you plan anything in your own.... this won't work.

This seems like a really good price! Does the price include transfers? When does this offer expire?

Keep in mind that you have no control with this airfare.

You have no control over carrier, schedule or seats unless you pay more.

Please help me welcome Joyce to our cruise!

 

[OKW Lover]

Joyce!

 

[mattincanberra]

I'm thinking of flying in and out of Milan, maybe some time in Como/Milan/Florence (or all of the above) and then catching the train down to the ship.

Oh, and hey everyone welcome aboard

Exciting to see more and more familiar names!!! (Assuming it's the same Joyce I am thinking of! Lol)
