Viking tote bag?

[gymfreak]

Thinking about packing requirements for our upcoming cruise. 
Do Viking have a complimentary tote style bag in the cabin? We have lots of sae days and such an item is handy to carry books, creams and caps etc. 

If not I will include a couple in our case.

Thank you

Simple answer, no.

Thanks.  I'm in the process packing for our next week's departure.  Guess i'll bring the nie Celebrity Cruise tote.  maybe Viking will get the hint.

More complex answer, sort of. There is a heavy felt tote in the cabin that various Viking magazines are in. It is not complementary and stays with the cabin. It can be used while on board. We frequently use ours to take clothes to and from the laundry. If you do take it, you will be charged for it. The price is shown on the price list for items in the cabin if you take them.

And ----- you won't like the price.

Don't think they will get the hint.  Have seen many with totes and backpacks from other lines.

I can assure you they haven't.

Hmmm! 😏. A freebie from a travel expo in the UK.

Yes we got one too from the UK Destinations Travel show in Manchester from the Viking stand.   Great to chat to the many people from the London office who have helped with our 20 Viking cruises.  The handles are long enough for a shoulder carry.

We got a lovely duffle on our first cruise with Viking in 2011.  It was quite nice but has moved on ... how many bags do you need???   Finally divested ourselves of 12 red luggage tags (someone wanted them!) but still have six more.  I also have eight to ten felt zipper bags and an assortment of ipad cases.  We just bring our Baggu bags with on trips as they are required for any shoppping in Chicago these days.  Actually glad Viking has ceased sending such things.

They have ceased sending such things... and I am thankful, because I don't like waste and we have so many of the felt zipper bags!

 

I have seen on CC the fact that people sell the red leather luggage tags on EBay for significant money!

 

I have routinely seen two tags for $30'ish dollars plus shipping.  Don't know how many people actually sell, but hey...

Guess I missed an opportunity!  Sent 12 tags and even paid for shipping ... just asked her to pay it forward sometime!

People "sell" the little white plastic goat "charms" that come with a bottle of Ayinger Celebrator. Doesn't mean people buy them.
