1. What to wear?
   To respect the local culture, for dinner wear slacks and long sleeves with optional blazer. Do not expose your arms or legs at dinner or in Temples.


2. What to pack?
   For a Viking Nile cruise, pack light, breathable layers (linen/cotton) for hot days and excursions, including modest options (long pants/skirts, shoulder-covering tops, scarf) for temples, plus comfortable walking shoes; evenings are smart casual (chinos/dress for men, dresses/slacks for women), with optional blazers, but no shorts/swimwear after 6 PM in main dining. A light jacket for cool evenings, swimwear, and sun protection (hat, sunglasses) are essential.


3. How to behave?
   Be respectful! Do not use your left hand! (Using your left hand is an insult)
