YWW Posted November 12, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 12, 2017 We are thinking of bringing our two high school age (1 boy and 1 girl) grand kids with us on a Viking ocean cruise, do Viking ocean ships offer adjoining rooms or bunk beds option in suites?

Rare Azulann Posted November 12, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 12, 2017 No Ajoining rooms. And only cabins for two people , no extra bunks or beds. All children under 18 must be in a room with another adult. Do each of you want to share a room with one of the grand children? If yes, you are a wonderful grandparents.:halo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since these are great kids and very well behaved, we have no problem sharing rooms with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are under 18 they may be the only kids on your cruise since Viking discourages them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No adjoining rooms but I think they can remove the partition on the veranda and connect 2 cabins that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Peregrina651 Posted November 13, 2017 #7 Share Posted November 13, 2017 If they are under 18 they may be the only kids on your cruise since Viking discourages them. It really does depend on when you are sailing. There were a number of young adults traveling on both our 2016 NYE in the Med cruise and on our 2016 sailing of Into the Midnight Sun.

Thanks for the tip. Since these are great kids and very well behaved, we have no problem sharing rooms with them. This is the statement from Viking's Terms and Conditions (link to the complete terms in the link in the footer of every Viking webpage). Other cruise lines have similar restrictions: Children/Minors Due to the nature of our cruise and travel itineraries, the Carrier does not maintain facilities or services for children aboard cruise vessels or otherwise during the trip. On all cruises and cruise journeys, minors under the age of 18 must be accompanied and share a stateroom with a parent, legal guardian or other responsible adult over the age of 21. We reserve the right to limit the number of minors under the age of 18 years on board and on land excursions booked through us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunkissed Mommy Posted November 13, 2017 #9 Share Posted November 13, 2017 We are thinking of bringing our two high school age (1 boy and 1 girl) grand kids with us on a Viking ocean cruise, do Viking ocean ships offer adjoining rooms or bunk beds option in suites? I was just on the Viking Sky yesterday doing a ship tour. They explicitly explained that the ships are 18+ and that all rooms are double occupancy. There are no Pullman’s, sofa beds, or rolls always onboard. So now I’m curious as to the actual policy. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums The terms are as stated above. In actual operation it probably shakes out to 16 y.o. and older. For more detail, you would probably have to hear from someone who has actually sailed with children, and so far, in all the threads about minors on board, no one has spoken up.

You will only have to share a room on the official manifest...last time I checked no one does a bed check to make sure that the right folks are in the right room each night. :') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
