sonoandrea Posted July 30, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 30, 2017 My husband and I will set sail on the Viking Sea West Indies Explorer in late October and we are very excited. I was wondering if anyone who has sailed with Viking Ocean (preferably on the Sea or maybe the Star) can tell me what bourbons they have onboard? I appreciate any guidance. Thank you!

BruceLovesSailing Posted July 31, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I was on the Sea in the Mediterranean during October 2016. I don't know all the bourbons but do know the had Jack Daniels and Makers Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrina651 Posted July 31, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Here is (hopefully) a picture of the bar menu from our June, 2016 cruise. There are other bourbons available and there are also premium brands on the Torshavn menu (which I did not photograph). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonoandrea Posted July 31, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Thank you for the reply and the picture! Torshavn is the speakeasy-type bar? I feel like we will be spending a lot of time there ;) My husband is really hoping for Woodford Reserve. Here is (hopefully) a picture of the bar menu from our June, 2016 cruise.

Peregrina651 Posted July 31, 2017 #5 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Thank you for the reply and the picture! Torshavn is the speakeasy-type bar? I feel like we will be spending a lot of time there ;) My husband is really hoping for Woodford Reserve. Viking has a very liberal BYO policy, so you could always bring your own bottle. The bar will even hold it for you so you don't have to run back to your room every time you want a drink. Torshavn is the nightclub; it doesn't open until evening. In the meantime, there is another way to find out if the Woodford is available on board and that is to ask someone who is currently on board to ask for you. Look for a "live' thread that is actually still live (look for the date of the first post and if it is more than a week old presume they are home now).

deec Posted July 31, 2017 #6 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Un/fortunately sometimes it changes too. There was NO hendricks gin when we were on the SKY in the Spring. Someone reported recently that it was available during their cruise. My suggestion is that if a specific brand is VERY important to you ....bring it with!! I had never had Aberlour Scotch and really liked it!!! So you might surprise yourself and find a new favorite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucytravel Posted August 2, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 2, 2017 So you can bring a bottle and give it to the bartender to keep for you. That sounds unbelievable, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucytravel Posted August 2, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 2, 2017 We are thinking of buying the spirits pkg, but if you could leave a bottle , I am thinking twice. Can you bring a bottle with you into the common areas of the ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
