Creator's Key Takeaways
I used to be one of them. I'm Rona Wheeldon and until my mid-50s, I was absolutely convinced I would never set foot on a cruise ship, ever.
I joined a press trip with Viking and discovered something completely different. Small, beautifully designed ships with fewer than 400 guests.
That's why I started this podcast. Every Thursday, I'll be sharing solo episodes and expert interviews about this fast-growing corner of the cruise industry.
