Viking Northern Lights Cruise Excursions: What We Booked & Lessons Learned

We finally booked our excursions for Viking’s “In Search of the Northern Lights” cruise! In this video, we’re sharing which excursions we selected, why we chose them, and what we learned during the booking process. We booked a Deluxe Veranda stateroom, which allowed us to reserve excursions seven days before guests in Veranda staterooms. However, guests in the other stateroom categories were able to book before us. Did that affect the availability of the excursions we wanted? We’ll show you what happened. In this video: • An overview of Viking’s stateroom categories • When each stateroom category can reserve excursions • The differences between Deluxe Veranda and Veranda staterooms • All the included and optional excursions we booked • Lessons we learned from the excursion-booking process • Tips that may help you prepare for your own Viking cruise CHAPTERS 0:00 Introduction 0:12 Stateroom Categories and Excursion Booking Dates 0:42 Deluxe Veranda vs. Veranda Staterooms 2:04 Excursions We Booked 12:42 Lessons Learned 14:39 Final Thoughts If you’re planning a Viking ocean cruise—or considering the “In Search of the Northern Lights” itinerary—we hope this gives you a better idea of what to expect when it’s time to reserve your excursions.
