Overview

This is not your typical Emerald Bay boat tour. Along with a scenic cruise aboard Lake Tahoe’s most intimate public tour, guests also get the rare chance to step off the boat and enjoy a walking tour of Vikingsholm Castle. That added on-shore experience makes the tour feel far more immersive than simply cruising by, giving guests the opportunity to explore one of Tahoe’s most iconic landmarks up close while taking in the beauty of Emerald Bay from both the water and the shoreline.

    Vikingsholm

    Step off the boat and explore Vikingsholm Castle on foot as part of this one-of-a-kind Lake Tahoe experience. Set on the shore of Emerald Bay, Vikingsholm is one of Tahoe’s most iconic landmarks, known for its striking Scandinavian-inspired architecture and incredible lakeside setting. This walking tour gives guests the chance to get a closer look, take in the history and details of the estate, and experience Emerald Bay in a way most boat tours do not.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    (8)

    Q: Will I get seasick on Emerald Bay Cruise With Vikingsholm Castle Walking Tour Included?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
