Creator's Key Takeaways

It's not quite as clean as the glossy photos online. And sleep, well, that proves to be a challenge.

One thing I did notice is the carpet already shows quite a few stains, which is a bit of a shame on such a new ship.

Honestly, this meal has been phenomenal. Let's just hope it continues.

I will say there was a lot more noise than I was expecting. I guess you've got the bridge just up there.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Reserve a time slot for the main restaurant to avoid waiting.
βœ“Be aware of potential smoke smell from balconies and bridge.

Over the next seven days, I’ll show you exactly what it’s like to live onboard; from Viking’s largest Explorer Suite, fine dining, and first-class amenities, to the incredible excursions along the way. However, not everything goes to plan… from cleanliness concerns to some surprisingly disruptive nights, I’ll be giving you my brutally honest review of what this luxury American river cruise is really like! As always, this trip was entirely self-funded, with zero involvement from Viking. 0:00 - Intro 01:52 - Explorer Suite 10:25 - Ship Tour 15:34 - Deep South Excursions 18:14 - New Orleans & The Cost
