Creator's Key Takeaways

We left from the United States and flew to London where we began our 3-day precruise extension before embarking on the actual ship.

As promised, there was a Viking representative there to meet us.

From getting off the bus to being on the ship, it was maybe 5 to 10 minutes. It was just amazingly quick and easy.

If you are a traveler who would benefit from or would just enjoy the assistance traveling to and arriving at your cruise port, the Viking air arrangements and transportation makes getting to your cruise super easy.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book air reservations with Viking to get ground transportation included.
Expect a Viking representative to meet you at the airport for assistance with luggage.
