I don't believe there is complementary mocktails offered. I believe the website says only beer, wine and soft drinks are complementary. I would imagine that since they have to mix each one individually, regardless of whether they have alcohol in them, that they would be a charged item, unless you purchased the Silver Spirits package. If you go to the Viking Ocean website and click on the city for each day, the tours are listed. You can see the description of the included tour for each day as well as the optional ones.

I think the other questions have been answered, so I am going to give a little bit more info on your question about drinks. In a DV cabin, your room mini fridge will be restocked so everyday you start with 2 cokes, 2 diet cokes, and 2 sprites.

We had 3 guaranteed rooms booked, so we were most likely to get denied boarding. Fortunately, within just a couple of hours, they had enough people call in and take the offer to switch dates.
