Just returned from long Viking Grand European Tour; almost 3 weeks. Best vacation ever. Here's a couple of tips. I got sick in the middle of the trip. We did not have time to seek medical care and hardly time to get cold meds. So my suggestion is to bring meds to plan for the possibililty of getting sick. And lucky for me a fellow passenger shared their antibionics too. Maybe get your doctor to prescribe what you might need too. Another tip but one I've never seen; bring a small portable fan to speed up drying the laundry you might do in the sink.

These are great tips! We had a major medication problem on board which we may do a blog post about in the future. Fortunately it worked out for the best. We had great ventilation in our cabin so we didn’t feel a fan was needed but that is not our usual experience so the fan is a great idea. Yes, Always bring cold medicines and/or talk to your doctor about medications you may need!

I really like the interior of the rooms, compact but still loads of rooms and simple design.

It was an awesome cabin!

Honestly, I could live without entertainment lol. But if the wifi is bad, well...that's bad 😢 Oh the magnetic hooks are a great tip! 👍

It was very frustrating! We swear by magnetic hooks on cruise ships. It’s one of our top tips!

I'm going on the Viking Danube Waltz in a week and I'm very excited! We're going to be staying in a veranda stateroom for a week so it will be fine. Thanks for mentioning lack of wifi. I plan on bringing my Kindle & iPad and will download some entertainment & books.

Have fun! Hopefully the WiFi improves when starlink gets introduced in the future. We did the same with downloaded media!

@@LuxuryTravelDocs Thank you!

How often are boats rafted together? I gotta be honest, this single trait might prevent me from taking the cruise. My wife and I would LOVE to have a veranda on a sunny evening moored up to enjoy the sunset, but if we're starring at another boat half the time we go to bed, this is a deal-breaker, almost a nightmare...

It depends how long you and the other ships are in port. We had some times that it was well into the evening and other times where it was just a couple of hours. Unfortunately there is no way to predict!

We'll be in 328 on another longship in 2 weeks.
