List of excursions for Mediterranean Odyssey

[zitsky]

I can't be sure if this list is 100% correct but it was available from my TA's website.  Maybe someone will find it helpful.

 

One difference is that the catalog lists Toulon as a port but this list shows Marseille.

"One difference is that the catalog lists Toulon as a port but this list shows Marseille."

 

Viking switched Med Odyssey ports from Toulon to Marseille last year.

 

Excursions stayed the same.  We loved the Cassis and Calanques water tour.
