Been researching this cruise since last May. Bring lightweight quick drying long sleeve shirts and long pants for going ashore in the Amazon. It will be hot and very very humid with little wind. Bring insect repellent for going ashore. The Sea anchors in Manaus. The cruise ship dock was damaged by flooding. If you do not have a Viking airport transfer or post cruise hotel, then you have to get your own luggage off the ship. Pre-book your ship to airport transfer as hailing a taxi at the port can be dicey. The 2 previous cruises were not able to stop in French Guiana due to seas making tendering dangerous. There will be a wide array of insects on the outside decks in the early morning. The Aquavit Terrace infinity pool and hot tub will be drained as open water attracts insects. Join the cruise critic Feb 19 role call for more info.
 
Thanks for all this info. Surprised Viking didn’t put out some of this information. Where did you find all this out?
