There is a fun surprise in the middle of Viking Voyage where guests get thoroughly soaked followed by a large dramatic drop at the end – don’t forget to smile for the camera! Parents who prefer to stay dry can go to the dedicated viewing point at the side of Viking Voyage for the perfect view of the last lift hill drop/splash impact.
