Everything you need to know.
Very useful app. Easy to find out what’s going on daily and to make bookings for outings and restaurants.
The Viking Daily
The app has evolved in the last couple years and is more interactive than I remember! Definitely user friendly and very helpful. Just two minor drawbacks which lowered my rating:
1) I understand that the hours for dining options on board may change each day but if you can print the hours in the paper Viking Daily in advance to deliver each night prior then why can’t you also upload the hours into the app view? — Example: one day I was up at 4am and left my stateroom to read elsewhere as not to disturb my sleeping husband. At about 6am I was a little hungry but didn’t have the VD with me to check the dining timetables. The app and the onboard touch screens both just said “check the VD in your room for hours” but my husband was still sleeping and I did not wish to wake him by going back to rummage for the newsletter.
2) On a previous voyage we received paper feedback slips in our room each day to rate our excursion experiences. The paper forms included free space to write comments. Now the feedback forms are on this app, except there’s no place to write additional comments, only the basic array of check-box ratings or yes/no questions. I wish I could leave more detailed feedback for some of the excursions.

Da Best
After 41 years of marriage to the same lovely woman, and with 41 years of fabulous Resturant's & Resorts I can easily recommend the Viking Venus as the best experience of our travels. EVERYTHING has exceeded our expectations by a mile! The staff is the best at making you feel special. You get the since they REALLY care about your happiness every minute. Remembering you and anticipating you needs before you can even think of what you want. Magical for sure!
