Thanks for the comment

Thank you. I’ve been thinking about a River cruise for awhile, and receive a brochure from Viking about once a month! I would be traveling solo.

Go for it. When I was 84 I took a solo Viking River cruise, Grand European Tour, and had the time of my life. It was wonderful, both the staff and the other cruisers, were extremely friendly and I had a great time with all of them. In addition to seeing all the sights on their included excursions it was very relaxing to just sit and watch the world slowly pass by while sitting on the sun deck. I'm now 87 and planning my next solo Viking cruise.

I have done 15 and my wife 22 cruises with viking

Wow all river cruises?

Just got back from first river cruise. Passengers were much older, many in 80’s. The voice level is very high with everyone trying to be heard over each other.

What river cruise line were you on?

I m planning to go on Viking in September - my husband is interesting on buying silver package, but I don’t drink at all- can he buys only for him?

The drinks packages are sold for two people. You can’t buy a have a package. I spoke with a couple of the experts and the consensus is unless hubby is a huge drinker it would make sense to just pay as you go.

I will be going on a Viking River cruise in July and I am wondering if I should get Euros for tipping the tour guides and bus drivers or would they be just as happy to be tipped in dollars?

USD dollars work just fine in most countries but tipping in Euros is seen as a courtesy as it saves the guide having to exchange the dollars.

Get about a $100 in Euros for quick tips or buys. If you are going to Czech Republic or Hungary you need to get their currency. Depending on your credit card, you can hit the ATMs.

They are happy with anything. Love American guest cuz they are more generous than the rest.

What are the Viking River Cruise policies on bringing prescription drugs on board? Thanks!!

@askarealtravelexpert

Prescription meds are no issue but it’s a good idea to travel with them in the original container that display the script.

I have a Mar 24 departure, final payment due 1 Dec
