Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm Morgan from the very unofficial travel guyss I've been making travel videos for over 15 years

this is my second experience with Viva it will not be the last

it is an amazing value for the money especially if you compare it to Viking

I recommend setting up an account in the gvb app before you get here and then on the day of your arrival in Amsterdam just buy a 24-hour ticket on your phone

Creator's Tips & Advice

Set up an account in the GVB app before arrival and buy a 24-hour ticket on your phone for convenient bus/tram travel
Consider borrowing free bicycles from the cruise ship for the day to explore
Walk through the main station to access trains, trams, or continue on foot to the city center
