Creator's Key Takeaways

You are always going to have a shore Excursion included in every port of call but they also offer optional ones as well

The ceremony of the keys... has been going on every night at the same time for 700 years... very popular with our guests definitely sign up for that one first when you're booking window opens

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book stateroom categories higher than Veranda to get earlier access to shore excursion bookings
Sign up for the Ceremony of the Keys at the Tower of London immediately when the booking window opens
Consider extending your stay in Bergen or London to maximize your experience
Use a Viking specialist travel agent for better pricing and onboard credits
