What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

The talent outstanding. Truly outstanding. It felt like a very intimate concert.

The Endicott Arm and Dawes Glacier were beautiful today. They were truly magnificent.

it was amazing it was completely amazing her voice is next level just powerful crazy powerful

our dinner was amazing the flavors were great the service was amazing The View was astounding yeah oh it was a win-win tonight an absolute win

I won $425 wooo I was so excited is it great way to end it was the last night of the cruise

The Watch-outs

The quotes I was getting Lyft was over 400 it was like 462 and Uber was I want to say 350 to get back to IAH

we got off the ship and the quotes I was getting Lyft was over 400 it was like 462 and Uber was I want to say 350 dollars to get back to IAH

that was an awful experience so especially if you're doing something late at night that might not be a great seat to pick

The closet was quite small. It was probably one of the smallest, if not the smallest, closets we've had on a cruise.

I definitely noticed this a few times coming down from the Lido Deck back to our cabin. It felt like we stopped at every single floor, and it felt like it took forever.

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Northern Viking Explorer.

  1. Check out the Broken Strings production show; it is highly recommended.

  2. Go to the Candlelight Concert early to sit close to the stage.

  3. If you want to visit Hoonah, be prepared for a lot of walking (about 1.5 miles each way).

  4. Double check your dining room location if you have time dining to avoid going to the wrong one.

  5. Bring magnetic hooks for organizing your cabin.

  6. Bring a US/European plug adapter or USB ports for charging.

  7. Confirm taxi prices before getting into a cab in Costa Maya.

  8. Check out the Alaska destination presentations to learn about ports and gear.
