Ummm not sure what that means Roll Call?
Glad you asked! I wrote this today to help explain a big section of this forum.
What is a cruise ROLL CALL?
A ROLL CALL forum and thread is made to help fellow cruisers check-in and make friends before they sail. Cruising is a very social way to travel and with the internet and communities like this one, it allows Viking Cruisers to meet and talk well before they ever get onboard to sail. CREATING A...

Hello!! We live in Florida. I have traveled quite a bit, and have been on many many ocean cruises with several different lines (we are settled on being “Celebrity” people when it comes to a run-of-the-mill cruise). We have 2 Virgin Voyages booked next year, so still trying new things. We’ve never been on Viking Cruise. And never a river cruise. We are on the Rhine Getaway A-B November 13, with 2 nights in Amsterdam on our own. It was such a good deal that we splurged for a Veranda Suite! W/silver spirits! My husbands 1st trip to Europe also! I would’ve loved to do the grand European , but just too long to take off work. I’m a nurse currently working 2 jobs, 7 nights a week, 80 hours a week. Will work for travel!!! And our kitchen remodel currently happening. Cabinets on order and eating on a hot plate. Lol!!!
We have a friend from Miami booked on this cruise as well. Single gal in the suite next to us! We met her on a cruise last year, and she’s cruised with us since!
I am SO looking forward to this! I’ve done European train travel but the river is special!!!
These Alabama travelers thoroughly enjoyed our Paris and the Heart of Normandy cruise with the Oxford/Highclere extension in 2019. Having sailed on other "big ship" lines, I can truly say there's no better service than what Viking provides. They took such good care of us and we met some truly wonderful people. We were sadly forced to cancel the Grand European trip in 2020 and 2021, but are looking forward to our Great Lakes cruise in September and the Viking Mississippi next January.

Hi Chuck, we too are on the same Cruise in May 2023. We have not confirmed our pre-plans yet, but once in Amsterdam we are staying with friends for about a week, then train and car across northern Germany to Berlin. Fingers crossed on flight arrangements as well. Jeanne
Hi from Joyce and Tom in New Orleans. We've sailed 2 Viking Cruises, Ocean Midnight Sun and River on the Danube. We've booked Octantis Caribbean Connections in October and Ocean Mediterranean Odyssey next May. Air travel was so much easier previously, we're hoping our next 2 will be hassle and stress free. Viking has been just fine so far.

Hello! My husband and I are booked on our third Viking cruise April, 2023. Romantic Danube with an extension in Nuremberg. We did the British Isles Explorer in April of this year with a precruise stay in London. Three years ago we went on our first Viking cruise which was the Rhine River with a precruise stay in Amsterdam and a visit to Keukenhauf Gardens. I'm very unfamiliar with how blogs work, so I'll be learning the process
Hi John. We have been a river cruise, Danube Waltz. Two ocean cruises Mediterranean Odessey and the Greek Iles cruise out of Malta. 8/26/2023 we leave Bergen on The Viking Homelands cruise. We also have In Search on the Northern Lights in February 2023 and Alaska in June of 2023
