We are going to go in Jan 26. Have 2 nights in Auckland, and 2 in Sydney. Did you get another port or a day at sea? Currently planning a pre cruise trip to the south island.

Thanks very much to all. mjdenn

We're sailing from Auckland and the ship will be there for the first two days. We are thinking of spending some time on the south island and want to ensure we get to the ship when boarding is open. Can anyone shed some light on what times it is possible to board. Thanks

We flew to BA using Viking air from Miami. Modified the reservation to go non stop. Our return to BA was on our own as we went to Torres del Paine National Park. Viking provided the flexibility we needed for flights and dates. A note on Vikings on board service. Our trip occurred just after the rouge wave hit the ship. The workers started at 6AM and went right past our stateroom slamming a crew entry door. I went to guest services and asked if they could help. By the afternoon the issue was solved and everyone on Vikings staff new about it. It's easy when all goes well but Vikings staff was amazing. Good luck on your planning

This is a trip where it's best to let Viking handle all the travel. While flights to BA are easy the trip to Ushuaia leave from the domestic airport. You will also be leaving the hotel at around 4 AM. On the return flight Viking will transport you from the domestic airport and provide a place to wait for your flight. Our US flight departed at midnight.
