In reply to Jenna. There are quite a few restaurants on the water, if you are just out walking around. That is how we found the places we ate at, pretty random. We did not have reservations in Venice. You are going to love this cruise. It was one of our favorites - ever!

Hi Sandy,

Thank you for such a great review and information! The pictures were so beautiful! We are headed out on the same cruise in October to celebrate turning 50! Getting ready to book excursions on the 15th.. We’re all about FOOD, drinks and scenery :)
My husband’s bday is 11/3 in Corfu and we were thinking of doing the walking tour with cooking class you did! This was so helpful :)
Where in Venice did you eat dinner on the water? We’ll be doing a couple pre nights there, and that looked amazing.
Anything else you would recommend would be much appreciated.
Thank you so much!

Hi Pat – we’ve been on a cruise to Italy in May and in September. Both are lovely. I’d say May is a little fresher with “spring flowers” but might be a little chillier.

What a lovely review and was un decided on which Viking cruise to take until I read yours. If you had to decide between going on this cruise in My or Sept, which month would you chose? I also would love to know which excursions you did on your own that you really enjoyed? Thank you!

In reply to Jenn. Hi Jen. Every country is different, where the boats are allowed to dock. Venice is an exception because no boats can dock there anymore. When the boat ports, many of the attractions or tours are either right near the port, or a short ride away.

Thank you so much for writing this review. Your trip looked great! I am planning to go in May 2024. I am curious, how far from the boat are all the “attractions” at each port? In Venice you said there was a 90 min water taxi. Are all the stops like that? I did a Viking River Cruise and you had to take a bus at all the ports.
Thanks in advance!

We are going on Mediterranean Odyssey cruise next May. Trip sounds fantastic. Trying to get a feel for the excursions. What included excursions did you take and which upgraded excursions did you take. We are planning the Vatican City/Sistine Chapel as one of our upgrades

In reply to Jean Cooper. Hi Jean. Viking handles all the taxis into Venice, and depending on what excursion you do, you should have some time to shop. It takes about 90 minutes water taxi (plan ahead). If the excursions are through Viking, they plan all the timing perfectly. You do not need to bring any outlets. Enjoy your time!
