Discover Scotland’s impressive woodlands and enjoy a walk through the forest. Follow our social media and blog for the latest cruise and travel news, including our best vacation deals. Separate topic – I also really enjoy the hop on hop off/BigBusTours to quickly get an overall feel for a city on day 1. I would be interested to hear which one you choose between the London Pass vs Go city pass or any others available. I scanned Tripadvisor for a comparison briefly but didn’t see it.

The most triumphant crossing unfolded on D-Day, when Allied troops landed on Normandy's shores. The channel's narrowest point stretches about 20 miles between Dover and Calais. Dover's famed cliffs can be seen from a distance as a long white strip resting on the horizon. As you sail, explore our well-curated Library, tucked in a private alcove of the Living Room, and select from a broad range of titles. Read a book by the Main Pool, a calming oasis in any weather with its retractable roof, allowing for year-round swimming.

More days means more to discover, with extension packages you can add before or after your Viking cruise or cruisetour.

We just returned from our Viking British Isles Tour, sailing Bergen to London. This time there were limited options when we went to book our excursions. I just thought I would let people know of a few private tours we booked on our own.
Neolithic remains, including the ancient site of Brodgar, predate Stonehenge and the Pyramids. The 13th-century Norse Orkneyinga Saga told of Vikings who ruled here. Most famously known for its dramatic white-chalk towering cliffs, Dover is the nearest city to France across the English Channel. Dover also served as a bastion and command center during World War II. Admire Valencia’s historic architecture and explore the underground caves of Sagunto. See the UNESCO-listed Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower, and visit the Bairro Alto district.
It opened as a hospital for sailors in 1712 and served as the Royal Navy's educational institution from 1873 to 1998. Today, its hallowed halls whisper of the days when Britannia ruled the waves. The National Maritime Museum is the world's largest, chronicling England's seafaring endeavors in its compelling collection of art, maps and countless memorabilia, including the first marine chronometer. Jazzbeau - Thank you for sharing the link to your blog of your British Isles Explorer trip in 2018! We were on the same trip/same summer coming from the opposite direction.

The premium wine pairings were well chosen [and since DW doesn't drink at all, they were comped for me – which made them taste even better! ] Note that you can only make two reservations each for Manfredi’s and the Chef’s Table in advance, but once on board we had no trouble making all the additional ones we wanted. This 15-day cruise from Venice to Athens (or the reverse) showcases the glories of the Venetian and Hellenic Empires as you cruise Adriatic waters, uncovering rich history and culture along the way. This 15-day voyage from Bergen to Barcelona (or the reverse) traces medieval routes of commerce on a remarkable and insightful journey with overnight stays in Bergen and Barcelona.
It was great to see some of the places (Highlands, Edinburgh, Dublin, Greenwich) that we just visited from the viewpoint of a cruiser as opposed to our land based adventure in those places. Glimpse Dover’s famed white cliffs, seen as a long white strip resting on the horizon. Discover the many highlights of Scotland’s capital, from Edinburgh Castle to the Royal Mile. Explore Inverness, cultural capital of the Scottish Highlands or venture to Loch Ness. Pricing that covers everything guests need—and nothing they do not.

We also went through castle ruins, drove into Snowdonia National Park, and saw beautiful waterfalls. The day we spent with Boutique Tours was the highlight of our cruise. Sail the historic waters of Scandinavia and the British Isles. Witness stunning vistas in the Norwegian fjords and explore the cities of Northern Europe, including Berlin, Copenhagen and Stockholm. Discover the Scottish Highlands, experience a warm Welsh welcome on the Isle of Anglesey and visit England’s legendary maritime ports.
I enjoy reading about the opinion of an experienced cruiser's first Viking Ocean trip. We never wanted an ocean cruise, but after one Viking River, we gave Viking Ocean a try and were delighted. It seems that we were fortunate to find our perfect ocean cruise fit on our first try. Glad you enjoyed your trip, and thanks for the link to your blog. This 14-day journey from San Juan to Barcelona highlights the Spanish colonial architecture of San Juan, Dutch and French influences in St. Martin, Portuguese culture of Madeira and impressive landmarks of Seville, Valencia and Barcelona.
