      Are there excursions available that have less walking or go at a slower pace?

    • Viking CruisesOperatorWritten February 2025

      CroisiEurope offers individual shore excursions in two categories: Classic & Discovery, the classic excursions are usually more gentle and slow pace while Discovery will involve more walking. You are welcome to select only the Classic shore excursions if you wish.
