Denver Colorado, planning how to pack for the world cruise in 2027. First world issues! :)
August 10th 2026
I searched for Vaccines needed and found, Passport Health in Greenwod Village, Colorado. They are very good.
We reveiwed the countries we will be visiting and discussed which vaccines we needed to take now and which ones could be issuesd at our local pharmacy, as Passport Health is not covered by Medicare.
It was very expensive, just for the 3 shots and the oral vaccines, it was over a $1,000 each.
Make sure you consult with a healthcare professional to ensure you have the coverage for the areas you will be visiting.
Don't wait until the last minute.
On board the Viking Sky

Actual trip
Overview
We had to change ships due to the Danube being at a 30 year low.
This meant changes to our itinerary and long coach trips for excursions as we were no longer docked at the original locations, like Budapest. Delays were incurred due to extensive road repairs and traffic accidents and flat tire affecting 3 of our trips.
Original Ship: Rinda
New sister ship: Kadlin
We also missed some stops that were replaced with altrernative locations.
