We are very interested. Would be a good opportunity to compare the river and ocean experiences. We loved our Grand European Tour. Can't wait for another Viking Cruise.

Lots of stopping and not necessarily resting, but looking at a particular site and hearing info about it. None of the town walks are strenuous. Even the Viking tour listed as the most difficult, Marksburg Castle, most of the elevation was done at the beginning and our PD stopped at every switchback for the slower walkers.

That's a relief to know. I'm sure I'll be a "slower walker".

Thanks everyone for all helpful hints I have another question about Sunday at ports is everything opened and available we are in Cologne and Vienna on sundays and also a wine tour is already sold out for optional excursion do they add on if there is more interest and do many excursion even the free ones sell out. Should I wait tell onboard to decide or do it now our cruise is September 8

We've signed up for the evening concert in Vienna. Does that require dressier attire? Should my husband wear a jacket?

Question. On these various city walking tours that last 2-4 hours, are there breaks where you can stop and rest, or is it continuous walking the whole time. Asking for the sake of my stamina.

Thanks! Your answer is very helpful! I'lll leave the formal wear at home but try to look respectable!

Viking has no dress code either implied or written. At dinner, especially in warmer months, one will find people dressed from cargo shorts, t shirts, and flip flops; to dress slacks and jacket (even occasionally a tie). Sometimes, one finds both extremes at the same large table.

 

Best advice is to dress as you feel comfortable and feel appropriate and don't get upset about those that choose to dress (way) down. It will only lead to unneeded frustration.

Yes! We are sailing on the Longship WII August 4. Looking forward to our first cruise and first European trip.

My husband and I are going on our first European vacation in August for the Viking Grand European Tour. He's a really casual kind of guy and wears beach wear most of the time (shorts, t-shirts, and flip flops). I'm trying to encourage him to stick with polo shirts for day and dress shirts for dinner. While I've seen some folks mention t-shirts, I'm not really feeling like they are very appropriate and could use some feedback from fellow travelers that t-shirts are the exception and not the rule, and that most men wear polos, shorts, and chinos during the day. Can't wait.
