Note: REGARDING
OUR UKRAINE CRUISE Over the past several years, we offered
a limited number of Ukraine cruises to our American passengers.
The reception for those was so overwhelmingly positive
that we have now added even more dates for 2007 so you
can experience this great country. This cruise is traditionally
only available to European passengers and is a product
offered by our European sister office of Viking River Cruises.
We are pleased to offer this trip to all our loyal American
passengers as a way to expand their river cruise destination
options. Since this cruise is offered to both American
and European passengers, there will be some differences
from our standard onboard product. In addition to English,
European languages are spoken onboard, passengers are given
assigned tables in the onboard dining room, and smoking
is permitted in some public areas of the ship. Viking Lavrinenkov,
her crew and onboard services meet the same high standards
that we demand on all our American products. Note: Due
to airline schedules beyond the control of Viking River
Cruises, flights to/from Ukraine may require a hotel overnight.
Viking River Cruises can assist with hotel reservations,
but any associated costs for the overnight will be at the
passenger’s expense. Schedules and activities are
subject to change depending upon river water levels, port
accessibility and weather conditions. Tours often include
walks over cobblestones, steps and uneven ground; for passenger
safety and enjoyment, we recommend you be in good physical
condition to participate fully in all tours. For safety
reasons, sun deck access may be limited during times of
high water levels/low bridge clearance.
