A real world cruise

[KirkNC]

Has everyone seen the world cruise from Viking for 2019. It’s 245 days and costs start at $92k/pp. We were thinking about going but the $270k/pp owners suite is already taken :o.

Probably cheaper than assisted living, LOL!

That is a few bucks. 😀

And the "included" beverages are only at meals!

Dang -- that upsets me that the Penthouse is gone. :mad:

I think Viking is pushing this pretty hard. One of my tablemates on the Crystal World Cruise had previously only sailed Viking River and he frequently mentioned getting emails from Viking urging him to sign up.

Shore excursions included at that price? At least you don't have to worry about airfare if it begins and ends in a port near you.

Assisted living in Calif is easily $6-7,000 a month so we are getting into a ball park - probably better company onboard than the fellow memory care folks where my 100 year old Dad resided for his final years

I'll consider it, but it's a 120 days too short..

[Wehwalt]

They should start it for right after when the HAL and Princess world cruises end. Some people would never spend any time ashore except on excursions ...

 

Too rich for me by a long ways.

And....according to Forbes....this cruise will circumvent the globe. Yeah, I'm not making this up. And, yeah again, I did send in an email to the "corrections" dept at Forbes. To their credit, they do welcome corrections.

This cruise includes the Silver Spirits Package so I think you get most of your drinks for free.

[KirkNC]

Yea lots of nice amenities, unlimited Wi-Fi, paid gratuities, silver beverage package, one free excursion in each port, free business class air, $6,000 OBC/excursion dollars, laundry and dry cleaning and the list goes on. It goes to six continents, surprisingly they miss Antarctica.

Well circumventing does not come cheap;)

[Scrapnana]

Not really a bad deal. The cost is less than $20 more per day than the cost of HAL’s 2018 World Voyage.

For what class cabin?

For what class cabin?

The least expensive veranda on each.

[Irish Eyes Are Sailing]

OMG.

That's all I can manage to say....

[rkacruiser]

Booking segments? Maybe if one would want to do so. Booking the whole world cruise? Ridiculous in my opinion. Booking a "normal" world cruise involves so many "working parts" now. Extending to such a long time frame would make those issues even more difficult to settle before sailing.

 

Even if I won the Powerball--which I don't play--I would not consider such an extravagance as what Viking is offering.

In that case, did they announce Eldon Musk was going to be the captain? :cool:

There's a 119 day version of it which skips all the South America Ports. LA - London. Not sure if 50% counts as a segment ;)

No the beverage package has no limit except what your kidneys can process . Please drink sensibly !

Correct except some of the high price whiskey and after dinner drinks (high end ) . It’s a really good program - it’s easy because everyone is in it .
