Creator's Key Takeaways

The Viking Daily is the final word. It's not the only way Viking communicates, but checking your messages daily, takes just a few seconds, and make sure you don't miss anything critical.

If there's a specific movie or show you want, download it to your phone or tablet before you leave home.

The stateateroom TV is much more than a television. It's one of four tools you'll use to manage your voyage alongside the My Viking Journey website.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check the TV messages daily as the printed Viking Daily takes priority over the app for excursion timings.
Book alternative dining and spa services as early as possible because they fill up fast.
Download movies or shows to your own device before cruising since you cannot connect personal streaming devices to the TV.
Use the Bridge Cam to decide if it is worth getting out of bed to see a scenic passage.
