Creator's Key Takeaways

I enjoy sailing with Viking because each package includes so much all dining is included except the kitchen table which is an Excursion

my advice is to book your tours as soon as they are available to you because they fill up super quickly

I book the first of the day 8:30 a.m. as often as possible for my tour of Santorini it was perfect to be on an early tour as our group was the first in some places and we beat the crowds by about half an hour

I heard rumors that they may do a vote where cruise lines have to bid on being able to visit Santorini so if you can get in as much as you can as soon as you can

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book excursions as soon as they become available because they fill up quickly
Choose the first departure time of the day to avoid crowds
Stick with Viking's trusted tour companies for reliability
Consider longer tours in Santorini to see as much as possible

YouTube Video Description

In this video, I’m going through all of the INCLUDED and OPTIONAL excursions offered by  @VikingCruises  Empires of the Mediterranean 10-day itinerary from Venice to Athens. I’ll share the 8 included excursions and walk through the other 71 optional tours available on my sailing. Seriously, there are so many that I could take this same cruise over 1 trillion times and never go on the same combination of excursions. Sorry for butchering any location names!
