Everyone always thinks that a Viking cruise is too expensive for their budget. True, some cruises and cabins can break the bank, but we found some great deals on the Viking website for under $2,000!
And this was one of them with airfare to Europe for under $600!
This is an overview of Viking's newest oceanic cruise ship, the Viking Vela on her historic THIRD cruise from Barcelona along the Iberian coast with stops in Cartagena and Malaga, before navigating the Strait of Gibraltar and the English Channel on her way to Portsmouth England.
We explore some amazing features of this ship including its entertainment, dining, and amenities.

Our tips include:
1. Take the complementary Viking excursions unless there is something special you want to see.
2. Take advantage of no corkage fees for bringing your own alcohol onboard (we found outstanding wines at local ports of call for under $10 a bottle)
3. Viking offers discounts on future cruises if you book within 10 days of your return.
4. If the cruise terminal is close to town, do your own pre/post-cruise extension. We did it ourselves in Barcelona and saved a thousand dollars!
