Athens to Rome Greek Isles

Speeds can be inconsistent in remote areas. No streaming-tier Wi-Fi is included — you get basic browsing-level connectivity.

Cocktails, spirits, and drinks outside meal times are NOT included. The Silver Spirits upgrade ($27/day + 15% service charge) is required for all-day drinking, and both guests in a stateroom must purchase it.

Shuttle availability depends on the port — not all ports have shuttle service. In ports where the dock is close to town, no shuttle is provided.

The included excursion is from a curated list — premium or extended tours cost extra. Popular free excursions sell out quickly, so book early through My Viking Journey.

Viking adds $20/person/day to your shipboard account (for 2026 sailings), plus 15% is automatically added to all bar and beverage tabs. Budget an extra $280/person for a 14-day cruise.

The Chef's Table requires advance reservations and has very limited seating (often only one seating per evening). Book immediately upon opening or you may miss out entirely.

All guests must be 18 years or older on embarkation day. No exceptions — Viking will deny boarding to anyone under 18.

Viking ships have no casino, no kids' club, and no main-stage production shows. The focus is on cultural enrichment, lectures, and destination immersion.

Despite premium positioning, gratuities are not included. The $20/day auto-charge surprises many first-time Viking guests who expect an all-inclusive experience.

Viking has no formal night dress code, but The Chef's Table and Manfredi's suggest smart casual. No shorts or flip-flops at dinner in any restaurant.
